Show Notes
For the final episode of season 1 of The Laundry, we invited investigative reporter, Dan McCrum to speak about his work on the Wirecard-story. This is a story about the wild rise and crushing fall of the tech giant Wirecard that was exposed as a billion dollar accounting fraud. The story raises big questions about corporate fraud, money laundering and the need for strong financial regulations. This episode is a roller coaster of events and stories and if you enjoyed it, we really recommend getting Dan's book, Money Men.
