Dan McCrum Reihenfolge der Bücher

Der Financial-Times-Journalist Dan McCrum hat getan, wofür eigentlich Wirtschaftsprüfer und Finanzaufsicht zuständig  Er hat den größten Betrug der DAX-Geschichte aufgedeckt. Die Geschichte klingt 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,. 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 filmreife Story von Mitwissern und Helfern, Geheimagenten und Kriminellen aus seiner ganz außergewöhnlichen Sicht, denn er ist selbst Teil dieser unglaublichen Geschichte.

"When investigative journalist Dan McCrum first came across Wirecard, the hot new tech company that looked poised to challenge Silicon Valley, it all looked a little too good to be true- offices were sprouting up all over the world, they were reporting runaway growth and the CEO even wore a black turtleneck in tribute to Steve Jobs (or perhaps Elizabeth Holmes). In the space of a few short years, the company had come from nowhere to overtake industry giants like Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank on the stock market. As McCrum began to dig deeper, he encountered a story stranger and more compelling than he could have imagined- a world of short sellers and whistleblowers, pornographers and private militias, hackers and spies. Before long he realised that he wasn't the only one in pursuit. Shadowy figures were following him through the streets of London, high-flying lawyers were sending ominous letters to his boss, and he even received a criminal complaint from financial regulators. Now the race was on to prove his suspicions and clear his name"--Publisher's description
