Beschreibung:
This is the story of the world's biggest unprosecuted fraud. A fraud that in today's terms amounts to R26 billion. The cast is stellar: top financial institutions, leading bankers, a world where every other player is a lawyer, a world where Brett Kebble was king. This is a world of outright denial and selective amnesia, of complex financial transactions designed to confuse, obfuscate and hide the spoils. This is a world of dirty dealings across the upper strata of the socio-political system.Barry Sergeant, hard-hitting, bestselling author of Brett Kebble: The Inside Story (Zebra, 2006), now tackles the murky world of shady financial dealings, post the Kebble murder. A frightening world, where whistle-blowers have to watch their backs. A world where so many major players are involved to such an extent that none of them can afford the cost of the truth. This is a major work that relies on painstaking details and many years of preparation. It is ultimately about unravelling one of the world's biggest cover-ups.
