This stranger-than-fiction account reveals the rise and fall of Wirecard, once a $30 billion tech sensation, through the eyes of the journalist who exposed its fraud. Dan McCrum's investigation began with a tip about the company that seemed too good to be true, boasting rapid growth and a charismatic CEO reminiscent of Steve Jobs. In just a few years, Wirecard surpassed established giants like Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank on the stock market. As McCrum delved deeper, he uncovered a narrative filled with intrigue: short sellers, whistleblowers, hackers, and even private militias. His pursuit of the truth attracted unwanted attention, with shadowy figures trailing him in London and aggressive lawyers targeting his employer. Named a suspect in a criminal investigation, McCrum found himself racing against time to validate his findings and exonerate himself. This gripping exposé reveals Wirecard's multi-billion-dollar fraud, exposing a web of deceit involving fake bank accounts, fictitious offices, and potentially a staged death. McCrum's relentless pursuit lays bare the shocking reality behind Europe's once-beloved tech darling, now revealed as a precarious house of cards.
