PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Dan McCrum is a member of the Financial Times investigations team. His reporting on Wirecard has been recognised with the Impact Award for distinguished financial journalism from the New York Financial Writers' Association, as well as the Ludwig Erhard Prize for economic journalism.
A thrilling, head-spinning book... Money Men hugely rewards the reader when you get the scoop alongside McCrum - you are close to punching the air... A fine testament to the importance of quality journalism. * Irish Times * A tale of dogged persistence and no little courage... Anyone, like me, who thinks that the investigative journalist is our only defence against a world run by giant, unaccountable corporations will savour this book. * The Tablet * A fraud so audacious it took the company's auditor, Ernst & Young, years to believe it... McCrum's account may read like a crime drama, but really it is a testament to old-school reporting... At a time when social media is increasingly causing facts to be regarded as beside the point, it is a reminder that the truth is always worth chasing. * New Statesman * McCrum was more responsible than anyone else for the exposure and eventual collapse of the hugely fraudulent payment company... A cross between the Enron scandal and Rosemary's Baby. -- John Lanchester * London Review of Books * Money Men is a rollercoaster read that reveals everything that's wrong with our financial system. Dan McCrum and his colleagues at the FT deserve medals for their tenacious battle to expose the dark heart of Wirecard - the enormous fraud and money laundering machine with shadowy ties. -- Catherine Belton, author of <i>Putin's People</i>
