Reviews

Dan McCrum's deep dive into Wirecard was the financial investigation of the decade. Money Men tells the story from inside Wirecard's headquarters with entertaining drama and verve, but it also unspools the high-stakes reporting process McCrum and his colleagues carried out at the Financial Times against the odds. It instantly enters the canon of great financial crime books.
*Bradley Hope, co-author of New York Times bestseller Billion Dollar Whale*

A milestone in the history of investigative journalism.
*Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany, awarding the Reporters Forum Reporterpreis*

Money Men is a rip-roaring ride into the underworld of the global economy. Dan McCrum is a proper reporter: there is no threat, con trick or hangover that will stand in his way. In today's pandemic of lies, courageous journalism like this is the medicine.
*Tom Burgis, Sunday Times bestselling author of Kleptopia*

This behind-the-scenes look into the years of work and the persistence that was required to topple Wirecard is nothing short of incredible.

A fantastic book. Think of Dan as a bespectacled James Bond with a keyboard instead of a gun.
