內容簡介 這是應該被收錄進教科書的現代貪汙洗錢代表案件！二零零九年，馬來西亞富商劉特佐剛從華頓商學院畢業，在經濟危機尚未落定的塵埃中，他已開始進行一場影響了全世界經濟系統的弊案。1MDB（一馬發展公司）是馬來西亞的國有投資基金，時任的馬來西亞首相被指控挪用該公司近七億美元的公款，其弊案的重點關係人就是富商劉特佐，此事件不僅在馬來西亞，也在全世界引起軒然大波，。此弊案雖發生在馬來西亞，但其中金錢流向和其他國家高層有關，各國知名媒體都爭相報導，劉特佐自弊案被揭發後至今尚未露面，甚至一度傳出藏匿於台灣，全案審查仍在進行中。本書即為介紹此弊案，甚至有美國官員表示，這一個案件應該被收錄進相關教科書中，因為這是現代貪汙洗錢的代表案件。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, starred review), 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.
