There's a perfect example of this early in Money Men: A Hot Start-Up, a Billion-Dollar Fraud, a Fight for the Future, when its author, the Financial Times journalist Dan McCrum, is ingesting lessons in fraud detection from hedge fund investor Leo Perry. This man, who so valued me, had found his own riches – not in the hard—knock business world of the rag trade, like his sons and sons-in-law – but in higher things. It was a path I had never wanted – earning a hardscrabble living in a trade that had nothing to do with my ideal of bringing justice and everything to do with haggling and making as much money as possible.

Gone, too, was grandpa’s wonderful love for his children and grandchildren, and the quiet adoration for the mother of his children. But, for as many places as McCrum travels to, there are even more eccentric characters waiting for him there. This book details the lengths to which people within the company Wire card went to hide evidence of fraud, and the efforts of one journalist to uncover it. It will still be waiting for you with an eccentric cast of characters, unbelievable stories and a peek behind the FT curtain when you’re ready.

He flies to Bahrain to query the payer only to embark on a serpentine journey finally leading to a construction site where the company's lawyer refers him to a local actress who then refers him to her “business partner,” Christopher Bauer. The collapse of Wirecard is spectacular not so much for money laundering and having a COO with obscure connections to irregular organizations; but because, for ten years it was supported and protected by auditors, regulators, most newspapers, and financial institutions. Money Men charts the rise and fall of Wirecard – a German payment processing company that had raised billions of euros and was lauded as Germany’s fintech wonder to rival Silicon Valley’s big tech companies.

They’re confronted with opposition from enamoured government regulators, organised crime leg-breakers, morals-for-hire corporate law firms, chummy “auditors”, and unscrupulous private espionage firms. As their only son, there was only one choice to be made now – and not just because of the outer circumstances these files presented, but because of early influences that had shaped my thinking and beliefs. The idea ws to move actual cash across a series of fake subsidiaries and then back to the originator, Wirecard's bank. From that day on I’d envisioned myself in black robes and a white wig, arguing for justice in the courts of London. Gill is a new lawyer on Wirecard’s Asian legal counsel in Singapore and “before anything else, a product of his mother’s determination”, who soon spotted wrongdoing at the company.
