"In 2009 Jho Low, a recent graduate of the elite Wharton business school, began setting in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude. Persuading Najib Razak, the prime minister of Malaysia, to create an investment fund, 1MDB, Low raised more than $10 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others. Then, directing 1MDB from the shadows, Low siphoned off billions, right under the nose of the global financial industry -- money used to finance elections; to purchase luxury real estate; to produce Hollywood films, including The Wolf of Wall Street; and to throw champagne-drenched parties around the world. Low's largesse put him at the center of a world that included celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx, supermodels like Miranda Kerr, and even a major donor to President Obama. Now, for the first time, Wright and Hope reveal the complete inside story of one of the biggest financial heists in history."--
