"Billion Dollar Whale" is a gripping exposé co-authored by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope, detailing the audacious financial fraud perpetrated by Malaysian financier Jho Low. The book chronicles the scandal surrounding the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund, which was aimed at spurring economic development in Malaysia but became a vehicle for embezzlement and money laundering on an unprecedented scale. 

The narrative reveals how Low orchestrated a complex scheme that involved high-profile figures, global banks, and lavish purchases, including luxury real estate and artworks. Through investigative journalism, the authors expose the intricate web of deception and the far-reaching consequences of corporate greed and corruption, making the story not just about financial misconduct but also about the impact on nations and lives.
