A really good story

Quite unbelievable
Almost unbelievable story of bare faced fraud. Well researched and fairly well written. A little bit repetitive by the end. But overall very enjoyable.

Well written, engrossing, instructive. Recommended
Very well written and totally absorbing. The story of corruption in Malaysia; a sovereign wealth fund set up to give kick backs to the Malaysian Prime Minister, and his wife and son. The 'hero' is a Malaysian in his 20s who went to Harrow the English public school. He managed after some false starts to set up this hedge fund which took money from ordinary Malaysians and corrupted their politics. With billions at his disposal he could buy the company of Paris Hilton and Leonardo de Caprio among many others to give himself a sort of credibility. The shameful way many bankers, accountants, shell companies and lawyers facilitated his crimes is clear. To see the human and environmental impact of the actions in this story The Sarawak Report by Clare Rewcastle Brown is a different perspective and worth reading.
