Wirecard: The €1.9 Billion Fraud That Fooled Europe

Описание: Wirecard was once Germany's fintech crown jewel — a DAX-listed payments company valued higher than Deutsche Bank. In 2020, it collapsed after admitting that €1.9 billion supposedly held in trust accounts likely never existed. This episode examines Wirecard's rapid corporate rise, the years of journalist and short-seller warnings that were dismissed, the auditing failures that allowed the fraud to persist, and the fallout following the disappearance of COO Jan Marsalek. An evidence-led investigation into one of Europe's largest corporate collapses, part of the Collapse Files series.
