(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 367-390) and index.

In 2014 the death of Bill Broeksmith, a senior executive at Deutsche Bank was a mystery, made more so by the bank's efforts to deter investigation. Enrich traces bank's history back to the 1880s; to helping the Nazis build Auschwitz, and wooing Eastern Bloc authoritarians. He shows how in the 1990s Deutsche made a decision to pursue Wall Street riches, often at the expense of ethics and the law: scamming investors, defrauding regulators, and laundering money for Russian oligarchs. 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. --,adapted from jacket
