#21 | How to spot a scam, according to the journalist who took down Wirecard

Imagine that, after a long investigation, you discover a fraud in one of the biggest companies in Germany - and reveal it to the public. Now, imagine that, althought you were right, this story took 5 years to be accepted by the public - and, during all this time, you were threatened by the fraudulent company, which resulted in investigations from authorities and a 1 billion dollar bet against your thesis. This is Dan McCrum’s story, a Financial Times journalist who revealed the Wirecard scandal. He accepted our invitation to tell the backstage of this investigation, that became a book (“Money Men: A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth”) and a documentary on Netflix (“Skandal! Bringing Down Wirecard”).
