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 symbolise 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 US 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.
