HOPE BRADLEY BILLION DOLLAR WHALE

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 with the aid
of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios).    Now a #1 international bestseller 
Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" ( Publishers
Weekly )  revealing how a young social climber 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 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.
