***LONGLISTED FOR THE FT MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021***
'Impeccably researched and sumptuous in its detail... It's a
page-turner' The Economist 'This book tells the story
brilliantly... Well-paced and cleverly organised. It also draws
some devastating conclusions' The Sunday Times 'Gripping' Guardian
In this compelling story of greed, chicanery and tarnished
idealism, two Wall Street Journal reporters investigate a man who
Bill Gates and Western governments entrusted with hundreds of
millions of dollars to make profits and end poverty but now stands
accused of masterminding one of the biggest, most brazen frauds
ever. Arif Naqvi was charismatic, inspiring and self-made. The
founder of the Dubai-based private-equity firm Abraaj, he was the
Key Man to the global elite searching for impact investments to
make money and do good. He persuaded politicians he could help
stabilize the Middle East after 9/11 by providing jobs and guided
executives to opportunities in cities they struggled to find on the
map. Bill Gates helped him start a billion-dollar fund to improve
health care in poor countries, and the UN and Interpol appointed
him to boards. Naqvi also won the support of President Obama's
administration and the chief of a British government fund compared
him to Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible. The only problem? In 2019
Arif Naqvi was arrested on charges of fraud and racketeering at
Heathrow airport. A British judge has approved his extradition to
the US and he faces up to 291 years in jail if found guilty. With a
cast featuring famous billionaires and statesmen moving across
Asia, Africa, Europe and America, The Key Man is the story of how
the global elite was duped by a capitalist fairy tale. Clark and
Louch's thrilling investigation exposes one of the world's most
audacious scams and shines a light on the hypocrisy, corruption and
greed at the heart of the global financial system. 'An unbelievable
true tale of greed, corruption and manipulation among the world's
financial elite' Harry Markopolos, the Bernie Madoff whistleblower
'A pacy and deeply-reported tale' Financial Times
