The Billion Dollar Whale - show next great threat to the global financial system.

The Billion Dollar whale ( Chinese version )






Tom Wright Bradley Hope


Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune,
this "thrilling"  ( Bill Gates ) New York Times bestseller exposes
how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion  US DOLLARs
with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios).

Now a Number One (1)  international bestseller,
BILLION DOLLAR WHALE is "an epic tale of white-collar crime
 on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly, starred review),
revealing how a young social businessman from Malaysia
pulled off one of the biggest heists in history.

In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business
named JLow 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, JLow, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others,
siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund  (1MDB) -
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.

Malaysian strategic development company,

 BILLION DOLLAR WHALE is "an epic tale of white-collar crime

bond issue led by Goldman Sachs, who is believed to have made
as much as $300 million in fees from that deal alone,
although it disputes this figure.

How much did Jho Low steal?

BAD BLOOD 


Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

                  John Carreyrou


New York Times Best Seller

Named one of the best books of the year by: NPR, The New York Times Book Review, Time, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post 

The McKinsey Business Book of the Year 

The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the one-time multibillion-dollar biotech start-up founded by Elizabeth Holmes - now the subject of the HBO documentary The Inventor - by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end. 

“The story is even crazier than I expected, and I found myself unable to put it down once I started. This book has everything: elaborate scams, corporate intrigue, magazine cover stories, ruined family relationships, and the demise of a company once valued at nearly $10 billion.” (Bill Gates)

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose start-up “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fund-raising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’ worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. A riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.
