Finance editor at The New York Times, Enrich follows his acclaimed The Spider Network with the never-before-told story of Deutsche Bank. Drawing on extensive interviews with more than 100 past and present Bank officials, Enrich traces a long history of dubious practices, from the Bank’s collaboration with the Nazis to build Auschwitz to a recent string of market manipulations, investor scams, sanctions violations, money laundering for Russian oligarchs—and, over the last 20 years, loans of billions of dollars to Trump, the Kushners, and others, including Jeffrey Epstein. Putting a human face on the story of corporate greed, Enrich leavens the exposé with reports from the investigations of the 2014 suicide of senior Deutsch Bank executive Bill Broeksmit.
