Billion Dollar Whale
The Man Who Fooled Wall Street, Hollywood, and the World
Bradley Hope
This riveting international bestseller tells the story of how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history, siphoning billions of dollars from an investment fund with the aid of Goldman Sachs. With criminal charges looming, the fugitive Jho Low used the money to fund Hollywood films, purchase luxury real estate, and throw champagne-drenched parties. The book is an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale and a classic parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.

This excellent book describes how $4.5bn was allegedly taken from the Malaysian government to fund the making of Wolf of Wall Street and buy jewellery for Miranda Kerr (among *many* other things). Unfortunately you can’t buy it in UK due to our libel laws! – source2018-12-12T18:10:08.000Z

This book on the 1MDB scandal was great, hard to put down.
