具体描述
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.

##骗子拿钱投资华尔街之狼，想想就很讽刺。
评分##八卦！力荐！盗国指南。
评分##用精彩来描述诈骗实在是让人唏嘘。和Bad Blood相似的是背后华尔街大所不甚光彩的表现

评分##千萬別惹財經調查記者。
评分##【2020读书计划•009】八卦不少，这事到现在都没完呢。海边和萧亚轩浪漫的约会，米兰达可儿的男朋友，出事后还在曼谷给张靓颖（Jane Zhang应该是她吧）庆生，最后试图找绿地集团接盘未果……
评分##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
评分##投行贪婪律所邪恶，政客赚得口袋满满，对FCPA有了更深刻的认识。同时萧亚轩米兰达可儿和小李子这种人其实也算是某种程度上的共犯，你不能一边享受着脏钱带来的快乐一边装无辜呀。前天看到Low和DOJ settle了civil lawsuit，不知道未来的criminal会是什么走向... （写作层面而言我觉得作者用了太多没必要的插入语，倒装句，读起来比较吃力，叙述节奏在最后半段也有点拖拉，讲金融那块很多东西也没讲清楚，不过总体可读性还好吧
评分##一边练健身环一边草草听完。故事本身很精彩，简直匪夷所思，书写的太冗长，有声书读得也特别客观（干巴巴）。不如读篇精简版的报道就好了
