The greatest financial frauds of the last hundred years were one machine, rebuilt again and again. This book shows you the machine.

You listened to the podcasts and watched the documentaries, and finished them angrier than entertained: how did nobody see it? You tried the famous single-case books and drowned in accounting jargon by chapter four. The fraud compilations read like disconnected trivia that adds up to nothing. What you actually want is the whole rogues' gallery in one place, told fast, in plain English, with a framework that adds up to something you can use.

Follow the Money delivers thirteen documented cases, from Ponzi's Boston office to the FTX database, at a pace a working person can finish: one case per sitting. Every financial term is translated the moment it appears. Every chapter ends with The Record, the adjudicated outcome in exact legal language, because convicted, acquitted, and settled without admitting wrongdoing are different words meaning different things. And where the evidence cut the other way, the Panama acquittals, an overturned LIBOR conviction, you get that too, stated just as plainly. This is the opposite of conspiracy theory: the book goes only where verdicts, official inquiries, and settlements already went.

Inside this book:

  • The Five Tells: the warning signs every machine leaks, from too-smooth returns to the missing counterparty
  • The classics that wrote the template: Ponzi, the Match King, and the salad oil swindle
  • The institutional era: the S&L looting, BCCI, Enron, Madoff, and 2008
  • The global game: LIBOR, the Panama Papers, 1MDB, Wirecard, and FTX
  • The four questions that let you refuse the next machine before it takes your money
