Dan McCrum investigated a story at Wirecard that had him fearing for his safety.British journalist Dan McCrum usually writes about businesses for the London-based newspaper, the Financial Times. In 2014 he got a tip off alleging there were so-called gangsters behind a much-feted German company called Wirecard. The company had started small, taking care of the technical part of processing online payments. But by the time Dan starting looking into it, it was entering the big league. And what he discovered took him into unchartered territory: of international spies, underworld deals and fraud on a massive scale.The chief executive Markus Braun was arrested in 2020 and is now on trial in Germany. He denies all charges against him and says he himself was deceived. At the request of Germany, Interpol issued a red notice for the arrest of Wirecard's former Chief Operating Officer, Jan Marsalek. He is believed to have fled to Russia.Dan's written a book about his investigation called Money Men: A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Jo Impey Editor: Munazza KhanGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

Lionel Barber is the former editor of the Financial Times and probably the only journalist on the planet to have interviewed Presidents Obama, Trump and Putin. Under his stewardship, the FT  metamorphosed from a newspaper into a digital subscription business, and was sold to the Japanese company Nikkei for 44x earnings. And as editor, Barber fully backed up former guest Dan McCrum in his investigation of Wirecard. I was delighted when Lionel agreed to come on the show to talk about his new book, Gambling Man, a biography of Masa Son, founder of Softbank and creator of the $100bn Vision Fund. I have long been curious about Son, who for 3 days at the peak of the dot.com boom was the richest man in the world. Barber spent 3 years writing his meticulously researched book for which he interviewed 150 subjects, including Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, as he explains in our discussion. Some of his stories, including his description of Son's inner sanctum, are marvellous.

Hacker, Privatdetektive, Bestechungsversuche. Einblicke von Dan McCrum, dem Journalisten, der Wirecard zu Fall brachte. Seine Bilanz zu den deutschen Medien fällt wenig schmeichelhaft aus. Was ihn und seine Kollegen die ganze Zeit verblüfft hat, ist die Reaktion der deutschen Medien. Sie folgten eher den Erzählungen von Wirecard als den Artikeln der Financial Times zu glauben. Weitere Gäste: Sönke Iwersen, der Chef der Investigativ-Abteilung des Handelsblatts, der auf die Kritik von McCrum eingeht. Außerdem spricht Moderator Jonathan Schulenburg noch mit Arne Meyer-Fünffinger, dem Wirecard-Experten beim BR, der den Wirecard-Prozess in München seit Anfang an begleitet.

Schon 2015 schrieb Dan McCrum die ersten kritischen Artikel zu Wirecard für die Financial Times. Er hatte von Anfang an Zweifel. Aber was dann folgte nahm Ausmaße an, die seine Vorstellungskraft übertrafen: Hacker, Privatdetektive, Bestechungsversuche. Am Ende waren es seine Artikel, die das Kartenhaus Wirecard zum Einstürzen brachten.

It's owned by PDD holdings but its best-known brand is TEMU - which you could describe as an online flea market but it's worth $150bn. It's huge in China where it's from and now it's heading our way. It's already established its European HQ in Ireland. But like many Chinese companies its ownership and control is secretive and now the Irish watchdog the Coimisiun na Meán is looking at TEMU as well. Dan McCrum from the Financial Times has taken a deep dive into TEMU.

The man at the heart of the German Wirecard scandal, Jan Marsalek was once believed to be a straightforward fraudster. Recent reporting, however, has revealed him as a potential Russian intelligence asset. Dan McCrum, investigative reporter for The Financial Times, is well versed with Marsalek's shadowy ways. Investigating Wirecard saw him tailed by private detectives and smeared with sham allegations of market manipulation before his reporting eventually brought the massive fraud to light. This week on Whale Hunting, host Bradley Hope speaks to Dan on the latest updates about Marsalek's location, how the Austrian businessman may have ended up embroiled in Russian espionage, and why increasingly few corners of the financial universe remain untouched by dark money.   For more from Whale Hunting, make sure to follow the podcast – and you can subscribe to our newsletter at whalehunting.projectbrazen.com.

Imagine that, after a long investigation, you discover a fraud in one of the biggest companies in Germany - and reveal it to the public. Now, imagine that, althought you were right, this story took 5 years to be accepted by the public - and, during all this time, you were threatened by the fraudulent company, which resulted in investigations from authorities and a 1 billion dollar bet against your thesis. This is Dan McCrum's story, a Financial Times journalist who revealed the Wirecard scandal. He accepted our invitation to tell the backstage of this investigation, that became a book (“Money Men: A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth”) and a documentary on Netflix (“Skandal!

Online payment service Wirecard was once Germany's biggest tech darling and the country's answer to Silicon Valley, at its peak valued at more than 24 billion euros; until 2020, when it was exposed as one of the most audacious corporate frauds of the modern era. A tip-off in 2014 started Financial Times journalist Dan McCrum on a seven year investigation, uncovering corrupt business practices and fraudulent financial reporting. But as he pursued the story, Wirecard fought back viciously; with online abuse, hacking, electronic eavesdropping, physical surveillance and intimidation. But the house of cards eventually came crashing down. Dan McCrum tells the story in his book Money Men: A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth, which been made into a Netflix documentary; Skandal! Bringing Down Wirecard.

When FT investigative journalist Dan McCrum began challenging the financial model of so-called fintech pioneer Wirecard, he was threatened with criminal charges in Germany – and worse from the murky forces of the Russian underworld. Yet he persisted, demonstrating that Wirecard was a fraudulent operation that had hoodwinked auditors worldwide – and many others, including former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Hear Russell Napier ask Dan about his extraordinary book Money Men, and how the hubristic forces behind Wirecard were doomed to fail.For more information on the Advanced Valuation in Financial Markets course mentioned by Russell, please see www.didaskoeducation.org.

Financial Times investigative reporter Dan McCrum was named Press Gazette's journalist of the year at the 2020 British Journalism Awards for his part in the "brave" investigation that took down German fintech giant Wirecard. McCrum and his FT colleagues, who also won investigation of the year, spent a total of six years trying to expose fraud at the company, and along the way faced smears, criminal charges in Germany, threats and intimidation. The investigation racked up hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal bills for the FT – but the newspaper provided its investigations team with the time and resources to stick with the story despite the cost and risks. McCrum has now spoken to Press Gazette to mark the release of a new Netflix documentary about the story: Skandal! Bringing Down Wildcard. He spoke about the hardest parts of the story and its personal risks - and why it is so important for the FT and other newspapers to facilitate these major investigations. Hosted on Acast.

The financial services industry was rocked by headlines about Wirecard. It filed for insolvency in June 2020 claiming €1.9 billion dollars was “missing” from its balance sheet and slowly the whole sorry story came to light, with everything from embezzlement, racketeering, pornography and the eventual firing and arrest of its CEO Markus Braun. On today's show we are speaking to the man who brought this all to light – and has documented the story in his new book.

Wirecard was the rare German startup that seemed primed to become a global player. But it was all too good to be true, as Dan McCrum, financial sleuth at the FT, ultimately discovered. We talk to him about how he unmasked the scam, overcoming spies, mobsters and even the German financial regulator to get at the truth. And also about favourite scams and why fraud is so damned difficult to stamp out. Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.With Dan McCrum.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Sponsored by Briefcase.News Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For the final episode of season 1 of The Laundry, we invited investigative reporter, Dan McCrum to speak about his work on the Wirecard-story. This is a story about the wild rise and crushing fall of the tech giant Wirecard that was exposed as a billion dollar accounting fraud. The story raises big questions about corporate fraud, money laundering and the need for strong financial regulations. This episode is a roller coaster of events and stories and if you enjoyed it, we really recommend getting Dan's book, Money Men. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

'Markets can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent' is a classic maxim for investors, but it holds true for journalists too. In this episode, we speak with the Financial Times's Dan McCrum and Paul Murphy (Tracy's old boss) about their multi-year effort to expose fraud at Wirecard, a German payments giant that went spectacularly belly-up after billions of dollars were found to have gone missing. Dan, who's just written a book about his experience called "Money Men," explains how he first spotted problems at what was once described as "Europe's greatest fintech," and how hard it was to convince others of the truth. Rather than going after Wirecard itself, German authorities went after the journalists and short-sellers who were warning of the scheme. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It took years of digging and a lucky break to uncover the fraud at the heart of Wirecard. Gideon talks to Dan McCrum about the strange netherworld of financial speculators, private detectives, bumbling accountants and outright criminals that he encountered along the way.Clips: Bloomberg, Money TalksMore on this topic:Why we trust fraudstersLess work for EY auditors?

The company in question is Wirecard and the journalist is my guest on this episode, FT reporter Dan McCrum. He's just released a new book called ‘Money Men: A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight For The Future' in which he explores both the story of Wirecard and its downfall and the efforts he went to as a journalist to investigate it. In what was one of the — if not *the* — financial investigations of the decade, Dan and his FT colleagues pursued a story of fraud, that is ready-made for a movie. Yet, it's a real-life story that reveals hidden worlds of short-sellers and whistleblowers, pornographers and private militias, hackers and spies. In Money Men, Dan explains not only the story of WireCard but also how he and his colleagues went about investigating it.In our discussion, we explore:- How Dan became a Financial Times journalist;- The types of story he likes to investigate and why WireCard fascinated him;- The lengths reporters need to go to, in order to get to the story;- How short sellers helped provide valuable insights;- The astonishing response of the German authorities to the Wirecard story;- Some incredible stories that unfolded as Dan investigated;- The personal toll such a story takes on a reporter;- The role of cognitive biases in reporting and our perception of the world.To find out more about Money Men, which is out now, visit https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/144/1444756/money-men/9781787635043.htmlThe German version is called The House of Wirecard: https://www.ullstein-buchverlage.de/nc/buch/details/house-of-wirecard-9783430210645.htmlTo learn more about Dan's investigation you can read this FT profile:https://www.ft.com/content/745e34a1-0ca7-432c-b062-950c20e41f03Dan also spoke at ECEC — Europe's largest Ethics & Compliance Conference in 2020 – you can watch a recording of that here: https://www.eqs.com/compliance-knowledge/events/ecec-mccrum/ .ECEC is returning soon, so do join me at ECEC 2022 in October.

We speak to Dan McCrum, the award winning FT journalist who exposed Wirecard as a fraud. Once a stockmarket darling valued at over €25bn, Wirecard crashed to worthless in June 2020, when its auditors could not confirm €1.9bn of cash. Dan pursued the story for six years and has now written a book about the saga. “Money Men” is an amazing account of how the company used every tactic possible to disguise its activities. This is an extraordinary tale and Dan, a brilliant raconteur, explains the highs and lows of his struggle to reveal the truth. We also speak to market participants on the buy and sell side to get their perspective.

Izabella Kaminska invites the FT's Dan McCrum and Paul Murphy for a glass of Gavi and wasabi calamari at Casa Dino Restaurant in Chiswick to celebrate the launch of Dan's new book Money Men, the story of the downfall of payments company Wirecard.

Die Medien-Woche Ausgabe 147 vom 11. Dezember 2020 In dieser Ausgabe mit einem Interview mit Timm Klotzek, Chefredakteur des Magazins der "Süddeutschen Zeitung" und Vorstandsmitglied beim Reporterforum. Das Forum hat einen Journalistenpreis an Dan McCrum verliehen, einen Reporter der "Financial Times", der den Wirecard-Skandal enthüllte. Die Laudatio auf McCrum hielt ausgerechnet Finanzminister Olaf Scholz, dessen Bafin die Machenschaften von Wirecard lange nicht zu durchschauen schien - oder durchschauen wollte. Wir haben mit Timm Klotzek besprochen, ob es eine gute Idee ist, Scholz zu bitten, die Laudatio zu halten. Außerdem: Streaming zieht gleich mit dem Kino. Kritik am Entwurf für reformiertes Urheberrecht. Streit um Rundfunkbeitrag eskaliert. ProSiebenSat.1 plant eine eigene Nachrichtenredaktion.

Viele Jahre segnet EY die Abschlussberichte von Wirecard ab, bis in diesem Frühjahr der Betrug des deutschen Finanz-Darlings auffliegt. Aber der Zahlungsdienstleister ist nicht das einzige Skandalunternehmen, bei dem EY mittendrin, statt nur dabei ist. Aggressives Wachstum und Dumpingpreise werden zum Problem.

Dan McCrum von der Financial Times in London recherchierte schon seit vielen Jahren im Bereich Wirecard. Mit seinen Recherchen stieß er nicht nur auf Wohlwollen, sondern im Gegenteil: Gerichtsverfahren, Verfolgungen durch Wirecard und auch persönliche Einschränkungen waren es, die er als Dank erhielt. Diese Sitzung ist vorerst die Letzte, welche unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit stattfindet. Wir haben unseren Tag vor allem mit Warten verbracht. Die Mitglieder des Ausschusses hingegen ließen sich viel Erklären und hatten viele Fragen im Rund des Saales.

2013 macht der Bilanzanalyst Thomas Borgwerth eine Entdeckung: Der Lagebericht im Jahresabschluss des Payment-Konzern Wirecards ist für ihn zwar völlig unverständlich. Dafür stimmen die "Zahlen" bei Wachstum, Gewinn und Cash Flow - sie sind nämlich so gut, dass sie auf ihn wie mit dem Lineal gezogen wirken. Er beginnt viele hundert Stunden an Recherchen. Und ist sich 2015 - inspiriert auch von einer investigativen Serie der britischen Zeitung "FT" - sicher: Hier ist etwas ganz grundsätzlich faul, die Existenz von Forderungen über knapp 300 Mio. Euro zweifelhaft.

In September 2014, the FT’s Dan McCrum received a tip about a fast-growing German fintech group, Wirecard. Over the next couple of years Dan and his colleagues uncovered the secret behind the payment company’s meteoric growth: many of the customers listed in company documents did not exist. In this episode Dan tells the story of the whistleblowers, shoe-leather reporting, hacking, suspected surveillance and legal threats that led to Wirecard’s downfall. ---Review clips: CNBC, Deutsche Welle Further reading:The double life of Wirecard’s Jan Marsalek https://www.ft.com/content/511ecf86-ab40-486c-8f76-b8ebda4cc669Inside Wirecardhttps://www.ft.com/wirecardDan’s 2015 story for Alphavillehttps://ftalphaville.ft.com/2015/04/27/2127427/the-house-of-wirecard/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Wirecard filed for insolvency on Thursday, days after the German payments group revealed a multiyear fraud that led to the arrest of its former chief executive. The FT’s Dan McCrum has been following Wirecard for the past five years and will upack the company’s current position. Plus, the Federal Reserve has capped dividends and banned share buybacks by big US banks in an attempt to strengthen the financial system in the pandemic.

Also in the programme, whilst the coronavirus pandemic has supercharged the move towards home working, our regular workplace commentator Peter Morgan questions the wisdom of those who argue there may be no need for lots of workers to return to the office ever again. A major outbreak of Covid-19 at a meat processing plant in north-western Germany has forced 7,000 people into quarantine. Peter Schmidt from the Food, Beverages and Catering Union in Hamburg tells us why he thinks German meat processing plants have been falling victim. Plus, Will Bain asks whether a lack of live support could force some rugby clubs out of business. Eric de Cromieres is president of France’s Clermont Auvergne club, and describes their challenges. And we hear there have also been difficult decisions for Colin Mansbridge, chief executive of the most successful rugby club on the planet, the Crusaders of Christchurch, New Zealand.
