黑暗巨塔: 德意志銀行, 川普、納粹背後的金主, 資本主義下的金融巨獸

內容簡介

內容簡介 德意志銀行歷史逾一百五十年，原是世界數一數二金融巨人。二〇一四年，德銀高階主管布魯克斯密特突在倫敦家中自殺，消息震驚全球金融業，其後德銀拖延調查更啟人疑竇。紐時獲獎財經記者安瑞奇，揭露德銀如何為追求財富無視道德法律，結交川普、庫許納、俄國寡頭等權貴，操縱市場捲入洗錢交易，落得醜聞纏身陷入經營危機，幾近步上雷曼銀行後塵。 A searing exposé of the most scandalous bank in the world, including its shadowy ties to Donald Trump’s business empire On a rainy Sunday in 2014, a senior executive at Deutsche Bank was found hanging in his London apartment. Bill Broeksmit had helped build the 150-year-old financial institution into a global colossus, and his sudden death was a mystery, made more so by the bank’s efforts to deter investigation. Broeksmit, it turned out, was a man who knew too much. In Dark Towers, award-winning journalist David Enrich reveals the truth about Deutsche Bank and its epic path of devastation. Tracing the bank’s history back to its propping up of a default-prone American developer in the 1880s, helping the Nazis build Auschwitz, and wooing Eastern Bloc authoritarians, he shows how in the 1990s, via a succession of hard-charging executives, Deutsche made a fateful decision to pursue Wall Street riches, often at the expense of ethics and the law. Soon, the bank was manipulating markets, violating international sanctions to aid terrorist regimes, scamming investors, defrauding regulators, and laundering money for Russian oligarchs. Ever desperate for an American foothold, Deutsche also started doing business with a self-promoting real estate magnate nearly every other bank in the world deemed too dangerous to touch: Donald Trump. Over the next twenty years, Deutsche executives loaned billions to Trump, the Kushner family, and an array of scandal-tarred clients, including convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Dark Towers is the never-before-told saga of how Deutsche Bank became the global face of financial recklessness and criminality—the corporate equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction. It is also the story of a man who was consumed by fear of what he’d seen at the bank—and his son’s obsessive search for the secrets he kept.
