In Billion Dollar Whale, Pulitzer finalists Tom Wright and Bradley Hope chronicle the rise and fall of Jho Low, a Malaysian entrepreneur who allegedly stole billions of dollars from his government’s coffers. Low spent his newfound wealth on a decadent lifestyle, hosting parties with celebrities, purchasing yachts, and gambling exorbitantly.
In addition to covering Low’s excesses, Wright and Hope describe the tactics Low used to succeed as a con man. In our guide, we’ll focus primarily on those techniques, detailing how Low manipulated his image to become accepted among the elite, then leveraged those connections to build financial power. We’ll also describe how Low’s focus on his lifestyle and image ultimately caused his scheme to collapse. We’ll provide political and financial context for Low’s scheme, as well as comparing Low to other notable financial fraudsters.
