COME PRESENTATO NEL DOCUMENTARIO BILLION DOLLAR DOWNFALL: THE DEALMAKER DELLA BBC TWO Due reporter di Wall Street indagano sull'uomo a cui sono stati affidati milioni per fare profitti e porre fine alla povertà, ma che ora è accusato di aver architettato una delle più grandi e sfacciate frodi della storia. ''Avvincente'' Guardian *** Arif Naqvi era un uomo con un sogno incommensurabile: porre fine alla sofferenza, alla povertà e alle malattie nel mondo. La sua visione? Il capitalismo usato per il bene, il progresso e il profitto. Ha convinto i politici che avrebbe potuto aiutare a stabilizzare il Medio Oriente dopo l'11 settembre creando posti di lavoro. Ha convinto Bill Gates ad aiutarlo ad avviare un fondo da miliardi di dollari per migliorare l'assistenza sanitaria nei paesi poveri. Ha ottenuto il sostegno dell'amministrazione Obama ed è stato persino nominato nei consigli di amministrazione dall'ONU e dall'Interpol. L'unico problema? Nel 2019 Arif Naqvi è stato arrestato con l'accusa di riciclaggio di denaro e appropriazione indebita di centinaia di milioni di dollari. Ora rischia fino a 291 anni di carcere. Questa è la vera, sbalorditiva indagine sul mondo di fumo e specchi di The Key Man. ***'Ricercato in modo impeccabile e sontuoso nei dettagli. È un libro avvincente' The Economist 'Questo libro racconta la storia in modo brillante. Ben ritmato e organizzato in modo intelligente. Trae anche alcune conclusioni devastanti' The Sunday Times 'Un racconto ritmato e profondamente documentato' Financial Times NELLA LONGLIST PER IL FT MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 UN LIBRO DELL'ECONOMISTA DELL'ANNO.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How Arif Naqvi Duped The Global EliteArif Naqvi was a man with immeasurable dreams: to end world suffering, poverty and disease. His vision: capitalism for good; profit and progress.Naqvi was The Key Man to the global elite searching for impact investments - that would make money and do good - in what they called 'emerging markets'. He persuaded Western governments that he could help stabilise the Middle East after 9/11 by providing jobs and trade. When China rejuvenated the ancient Silk Road trading routes, Naqvi guided executives to business opportunities in cities they struggled to find on the map. He teamed up with Bill Gates to create a $1 billion dollar fund to improve healthcare in poor countries, managed huge sums for the American, British and French governments and sat on boards at the UN and Interpol. As the pope blessed the movement to harness capitalism for the good of the poor, Naqvi won the support of Obama's administration and Prince Charles. He was even earmarked by Western academics as a future leader of his homeland, Pakistan. One of his investors compared him to Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible.The only problem? In 2019 Arif Naqvi was arrested on charges of fraud and racketeering and faces up to 291 years in jail.This is the true story of the fascinating investigation into the smoke and mirrors world of Arif Naqvi by Wall Street Journal reporters Simon Clark and Will Louch. Months after they exposed the alleged fraud in 2018, the British police arrested Naqvi as he stepped off a plane at Heathrow Airport and charged him with money laundering and misappropriating hundreds of millions of dollars. In this jaw-dropping account, they expose the alleged fraud at the core of Naqvi's global operation and offer a window into the secretive world of investing and the Davos elite, a world populated by powerful leaders and billionaires who talk publicly about making the world a better place.
