具体描述
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.
用户评价
胆大妄为，很多细节看得让人目瞪口呆。认识其中一个配角，有种亲历历史的感觉...
评分##刘特佐作为一个典型的白手套，并没有直接从政府里贪污或盗窃财产，而是采用了更高明的手段，借用国家信用和国际金融体系，在灰度中游走，里应外合，满足领导人的政治和个人诉求，用钱驱动高盛，商业银行，中东主权基金等各个利益方，大肆为自己敛财，花钱通过演艺明星和社交名流得到名气，事发后又巧妙利用地缘政治争取生存空间，一部侧面反映掮客的好书，推荐对政商勾结有兴趣的读者阅读
评分##【2020读书计划•009】八卦不少，这事到现在都没完呢。海边和萧亚轩浪漫的约会，米兰达可儿的男朋友，出事后还在曼谷给张靓颖（Jane Zhang应该是她吧）庆生，最后试图找绿地集团接盘未果……
评分##前面写Low的花天酒地实在太多了，看多了也很无聊。大概从出事开始，才略有些精彩。小李的名字无数次出现，看来顶流在哪都让人忍不住多写……归还了赠予，捧得了小金人，HE啊！另外没想到除了萧亚轩很神奇地出现，在结尾，张靓颖也拥有了名字！
评分##一边练健身环一边草草听完。故事本身很精彩，简直匪夷所思，书写的太冗长，有声书读得也特别客观（干巴巴）。不如读篇精简版的报道就好了

评分##有一种预感就是我老板认识书中主角，于是问Jho Low认识不？老板说这书开头讲的女盛体派对他当时就在现场哇，书里各个bankers他也全认识。啧啧啧 #魔幻现实人生
评分##刚读完的一本书。IMDB这样一个骗局，骗过了世界上那么多金融机构，审计师，我能说是骗吗？是smelling the profit makes them blind。书里提到了Low的生活，买私人飞机，全年在飞机上度过的时间比在家和酒店都多。开始我还有兴趣算他买游艇，珠宝，party的价格，后来干脆懒得算了，反正很多钱就是。
