Money Men: A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth by Dan McCrum
3.0
The story is intriguing, but unfortunately I couldn't grasp how the fraud was committed. Perhaps I'm not a financial man to understand certain practices, but I didn't really see the magnitude of the crime. We saw some shell clients, but how they overcame audits needs a bit more explanation other than stating "trustees" were created to hold funds. Won't an auditor and financial institution want to know the details of these trust schemes? This wasn't elaborated anywhere clearly enough.
Another example, is how do you show up at a bank and see some envelopes being handed out without noting the contents? These are not holes in the story but areas where much more explanation was required.
The focus also placed too much emphasis over certain characters and I didn't understand why since it didn't seem relevant at the end.
