Why people recommend it
Billion Dollar Whale by Bradley Hope and Tom Wright investigates the massive financial scandal surrounding the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB and the central role of fugitive financier Jho Low. Emily Jashinsky praised the work on Breaking Points as an exceptional read tied to related documentaries. Bill Gurley recommended the book on BG2 Pod as an exciting cautionary tale illustrating the severe risks of political influence over sovereign wealth funds. A listener comment read on Timcast IRL similarly suggested the title for context on international financial corruption. Ryan Grim discussed the book on Breaking Points in connection with his own reporting on the 1MDB scandal, while the show's host noted the accompanying documentary. Co-author Tom Wright appeared on The Jordan Harbinger Show to detail the investigative process behind uncovering corruption at Goldman Sachs and highlighted that the book's prologue recounts Jho Low's extravagant Las Vegas birthday celebration, an episode the authors termed peak Jho Low.
