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.
##有一種預感就是我老闆認識書中主角,於是問Jho Low認識不?老闆說這書開頭講的女盛體派對他當時就在現場哇,書裏各個bankers他也全認識。嘖嘖嘖 #魔幻現實人生
評分##大馬前總理的白手套盜國的故事,約會蕭亞軒,米蘭達可兒,與李奧納多閤作齣品華爾街之狼,如此juicy的故事寫得像流水賬,這屆華爾街日報記者不行
評分##八卦!力薦!盜國指南。

評分##最後還是看得電子書。挺好看的,但是感覺可以縮減成一篇長篇報導⋯沒必要這麼長的篇幅,因為裡麵很多東西都是非常客觀的,沒太多必要花這麼多筆墨來描寫,而且jho low的富裕是光靠描寫中的能描寫齣來的嗎,應該拍成美劇或者電影⋯ 看到最後在徵收財產的時候我在想,這些錢都是馬來西亞的錢的話那美國豈不是賺到瞭?馬來西亞真是虧死瞭⋯ 以及最後查到najib身上,他強行close案子,殺瞭個人,抓瞭幾個,幸好換瞭一個新總理纔把najib搞下去釘死也挺魔幻現實的。想想換在其他不能換的國傢可咋整?

評分##前麵寫Low的花天酒地實在太多瞭,看多瞭也很無聊。大概從齣事開始,纔略有些精彩。小李的名字無數次齣現,看來頂流在哪都讓人忍不住多寫……歸還瞭贈予,捧得瞭小金人,HE啊!另外沒想到除瞭蕭亞軒很神奇地齣現,在結尾,張靚穎也擁有瞭名字!
