具体描述

Tom Wright was one of the first journalists to arrive at the scene of the raid in which Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden. In 2013, he spearheaded coverage of the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh, which killed over 1,000 people, earning the Wall Street Journal a Sigma Delta Chi award from The Society of Professional Journalists. He is a Pulitzer finalist, a Loeb winner, and has garnered numerous awards from the Society of Publishers in Asia, which in 2016 named him "Journalist of the Year." He speaks English, Malay, French and Italian.

Bradley Hope has worked for the Wall Street Journal for the last four years, covering finance and malfeasance from New York City and London. Before that, he spent six years as a correspondent in the Middle East, where he covered the Arab Spring uprisings from Cairo, Tripoli, Tunis, and Beirut. He was detained by authorities in Bahrain, reported from the front lines of the Libyan civil war, and has been teargassed in raucous Egyptian protests. Bradley is a Pulitzer finalist and a Loeb winner, and also author of Last Days of the Pharaoh, a chronicle of the final days and hours of the presidency of Hosni Mubarak.

In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund--right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street.

By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continued its investigation.

BILLION DOLLAR WHALE has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.

##书的序章描述了我们的主人公——刘特佐,在2012年11月举办的生日派对。这不是一个普通的生日派对,即便是在拉斯维加斯这个见惯了灯红酒绿、挥霍无度的虚幻城市,人们还是为派对主人的一掷千金和影响力惊呆:莱昂纳多‧迪卡普里奥、Kayne West、Britney Spears、Psy、Paris Hi...

##像一般的金融调查故事一样有点拖沓冗长。还是想给四分出于两个主要原因,一个是涉及投行业务的部分想到日常工作心有戚戚焉,另外一个是难得里面涉及不少我认识的明星感觉有点亲切 最近读了一本书叫《Billion Dollar Whale》,台湾版的译名叫《鲸吞亿万》。这本书讲的是一个叫Jho Low的马来西亚人,在沃顿商学院毕业以后通过和马来西亚当时的总理,沙特的外交官,以及沙特主权基金的成员进行勾结,以1MDB这个马来西亚主权基金为载体,诈欺,洗钱,大量挪用公...

##大马前总理的白手套盗国的故事,约会萧亚轩,米兰达可儿,与李奥纳多合作出品华尔街之狼,如此juicy的故事写得像流水账,这届华尔街日报记者不行

##作者的话 2015年,我们开始报道一家马来西亚主权财富基金(1MDB),此前有关其巨额债务和灰色交易的传言四起。这是一个耐人寻味的故事。高盛在帮助该基金筹集资金时获得了难以想象的巨额利润,而随后发生的有关这笔资金命运的丑闻,有可能让马来西亚总理下台。但这不是另一个发...

##刚读完的一本书。IMDB这样一个骗局,骗过了世界上那么多金融机构,审计师,我能说是骗吗?是smelling the profit makes them blind。书里提到了Low的生活,买私人飞机,全年在飞机上度过的时间比在家和酒店都多。开始我还有兴趣算他买游艇,珠宝,party的价格,后来干脆懒得算了,反正很多钱就是。

##有一种预感就是我老板认识书中主角,于是问Jho Low认识不?老板说这书开头讲的女盛体派对他当时就在现场哇,书里各个bankers他也全认识。啧啧啧 #魔幻现实人生
