Pyramid of Lies charts the meteoric rise and spectacular downfall of Lex Greensill and his company. He had a simple idea that disrupted a trillion dollar industry and drew in Swiss bankers,global CEOs,and world leaders,including former British Prime Minister,David Cameron.
But a staid business model concealed dubious practices,as Greensill made increasingly risky loans to fraudulent companies using other people's money.
Financial journalist Duncan Mavin,who helped expose Greensill,tells the incredible story of how a former sugar-cane farmer became one of the world's richest men before falling back to earth. With a globe-circling narrative full of scandal and intrigue,Pyramid of Lies reveals how the grubby world of shadow banking really operates.
