MoodSuspenseful, Reflective

Der Financial-Times-Journalist Dan McCrum hat getan, wofür eigentlich Wirtschaftsprüfer und Finanzaufsicht zuständig sind: Er hat den größten Betrug der DAX-Geschichte aufgedeckt. Die Geschichte klingt filmreif: Wirecard, neben SAP das einzige deutsche Tech-Vorzeigeunternehmen, wird gehypt und übertrifft sogar den Börsenwert der Deutschen Bank. Der bargeldlose Zahlungsverkehr von Onlinegeschäften und Kreditkarten scheint ein überzeugendes Geschäftsmodell, eine Banklizenz eröffnet weitere Möglichkeiten. Aufgrund der kritischen Berichterstattung von Dan McCrum erstattet die deutschen BaFin, wegen des Verdachts auf Aktienmanipulation, Anzeige gegen ihn und eine Financial-Times-Kollegin. Als die Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Ernst & Young feststellt, dass fast zwei Milliarden Euro auf philippinischen Treuhandkonten gar nicht existieren, stürzt die Aktie des Konzerns innerhalb von wenigen Tagen von € 104 auf € 1,28. In kürzester Zeit verbrennen im zweitgrößten Kursrutsch der DAX-Geschichte Milliarden Euro, Tausende von Anlegern verlieren ihr Geld. Wirecard-Chef Markus Braun muss in Untersuchungshaft, sein Vorstandskollege Jan Marsalek flüchtet, möglicherweise mithilfe des russischen Geheimdienstes. Der Bundestag setzt einen Untersuchungsausschuss ein, in dem auch Dan McCrum gehört wird. BaFin-Chef Felix Hufeld muss gehen, auch Hubert Barth, Deutschland-Chef von Ernst & Young, verliert seinen Posten. Dan McCrum erhält diverse Journalistenpreise, aber die Sache ist für ihn noch nicht zu Ende. Er recherchiert weiter. Sein Buch erzählt die rasante und unglaubliche Geschichte von Mitwissern und Helfern, Geheimagenten und Kriminellen aus nicht zu überbietender/allernächster? Nähe. Ein echter Pageturner mit vielen Überraschungen.
