A searing exposé by an award-winning journalist of the most
scandalous bank in the world, including its shadowy ties to Donald
Trump's business empire. In January 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in
as the 45th president of the United States. As he delivered his
fiery Inaugural address, a grey-haired woman named Rosemary Vrablic
sat in the VIP section of the audience. Vrablic was an executive at
Deutsche Bank, and without her, Donald Trump probably wouldn’t
have been moving into the White House. This is the
never-before-told story of how a 150-year-old German bank became
the global face of financial recklessness and criminality, a
history that traces back to its role helping the Nazis build
Auschwitz. In the 1990s, a succession of hard-charging executives
made the fateful decision to chase Wall Street riches—and set
Deutsche Bank on an epic path of devastation. Its sins included
manipulating markets, violating international sanctions, and
laundering money for Russian oligarchs. Desperate for an American
foothold, Deutsche started doing business with a self-promoting
real estate magnate who most banks deemed too dangerous to touch:
Donald Trump. Over the next 20 years, Deutsche
executives—including a man with a damaged brain, the son of a
Supreme Court justice, and Rosemary Vrablic—loaned billions to
Trump and the Kushner family. Why? To unravel this mystery, the
book traces the rise and fall of Bill Broeksmit, an American
executive who was regarded as the conscience of Deutsche Bank. In
2014, he was found hanging in his London apartment. His son gets
access to Broeksmit’s computer files and embarks on a wild quest
to understand why his father killed himself. The answers he finds
will help explain how Deutsche Bank became the financial equivalent
of a weapon of mass destruction.
