When Regulation Fails: Journalism & the Fight Against Financial Crime
Manage episode 377538812 series 3423644
In this episode, we spoke to the Financial Times’ Dan McCrum about the risk of taking on the regulator to expose the world’s most infamous fintech fraud: Wirecard.
The rise and fall of “Germany’s PayPal” is just one of many examples of the crucial role whistle blowers and journalists play in fighting financial crime, corruption, and fraud.
In this interview, Dan McCrum explains how the ‘skandal’ eventually unfolded, the opposition he faced in exposing Wirecard’s fraud, and the red flags regulators and governments alike failed to flag.
