This is a great read, especially for those already familiar with the FT's Wirecard reporting.

I know very little about finance. Money Men looked like it would be an exciting read where I could pick up some real-world knowledge. Unfortunately, I was disappointed and felt none the wiser after reading it (admittedly, I skimmed much of the second half although I suspect I didn’t miss much).

I went in expecting an account of how the author (plus colleagues, allies etc) gathered the evidence to expose Wirecard’s actions, as well as how the opposition fought back. It makes sense that parts of the story would remain unclear, this being real life rather than fiction. What I got was a list of encounters between people I couldn’t keep track of, and no context-setting that I could appreciate. There seemed to be more emphasis on what people wore and ate than the significance of their interactions. In short, there wasn’t a “story thread” that I could follow and I rather zoned out.

Perhaps my incomprehension is simply because of my lack of financial background. But in that case, I wonder who the book is supposed to appeal to?

This page-turner of a book details the efforts by FT to uncover the enormous financial scandal behind the German firm Wirecard. The scandal is revealed to e even more scandalous than reported in the media. The book also details the devious efforts of Wirecard to kill the stories against.
