When I started work seventy years ago, this country supplied the world with essential capital goods: ships, aeroplanes, motor cars, etc. Working in these industries was worthwhile and fulfilling. Now all we produce are dodgy financial "products" which enrich the few at the expense of the many. Greensill Capital is a typical example.

How to Steal a Country is the story of the Gupta family’s spectacular rise from flea market shoe salesmen to establishing a massive black owned business empire in South Africa. It runs as a suspenseful detective story uncovering one huge bribery scandal after another, involving the top echelons of political power and several well-known multinational corporations.

Awesome analysis and storytelling. Back in 2008 it was collateralized mortgage debt, now it's collateralized supply chain debt (including nonexistent invoices). What's the bet the next one is going to be collateralized buy-now-pay-later debt? The constant theme among all this is doing business in an unsustainable way (payment cycles being too long, lending to low credit worthy people). I loved how in the video, one of the presenters raised 'why didn't they just pay suppliers sooner?!'

@Mr Sigma Well...SoftBank is extremely big in Japan. They are kind of Japan's Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan. So it's kinda puzzling that they always involve with shady deals. In the case of Wirecard, they didn't lose anything. As soon as they announce the backing, SoftBank quickly resale the company's shares (of course, with little media coverage). Still, it's not that good to be involved with too many failures at the same time.

They didn't own any share in Wirecard months before the company's collapse and barely told anyone about this. There was a lot of things went unnoticed so their brain might not be soft, but their ethics are definitely questionable.

Excellent presentation. That the idea of the promise of AI, not the actual accountability implied, could magic away the risk, is the same promise in "today's finance" of money management and governance expected.., but not necessarily provided. If the backing or reserves are not made available to insure the expected exchange of value, then there's the problem with all governance and lack there of. Looting ensued, not insured.

As far as Gupta is concerned and the question of people losing their jobs. Just go back to the beginning of this story. He was only buying assets that were already past their peak and in decline. These people would have lost their jobs anyway, in fact probably much sooner had Gupta not bought these steel mills and the like. No, he's being chased down because he's probably screwed over some highly influential people along the way "some Elites". That's a major reason why this story is getting the light of day....

I do not believe anyone thought DD had integrity, he is just another believer in the fantastical idea of trickle down economics, and deregulation.

We can only hope that, in a near future, we will find a way to get rid of all these cockroaches which are "finance" comapnies, mostly from US and UK coincidentally.

Don't all banks perform factoring. Other than banks are highly regulated, their books are being monitored closely. The only attributes that greensil don't have depositors to strengthen their Financial position, highly depend on private funders.

I am just flabbergasted that these “intelligent” people can be so taken in by an obvious fraudster. The journalist at the end said “if is sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true”. What planet do these people (all of them are men it has to be pointed out) live on? It’s the political equivalent of getting an email from a friend saying he’s helping out the deposed King of Nigeria because he’d got an email from him saying he’ll get a cut of his wealth.

Mate i Spent most of my life being flabbergasted But ppl actions. And it is only recently that I have come to the conclusion that nobody knows what they are doing and if they do they get easily distracted by shiny objects insecurities or some miss placed malice. No better the children I tell ya At least children have excuse for their actions And as for 'intelligent' successful ppl you woulda though atlest when they standing infront mirror getting measured for their Tailor made suit that atlest they would caught glimpse of their reflection in the mirror long enough to actually say to themselves I need a real legacy to match the fine suit I am getting measured for. But no it is like all the fine wines and suits are replacement for real substance. God damn shame that all the beauty in the world is wasted on ppl that wouldn't know class and style of it was starring them in the face.

Gupta will come out of this mess by pure luck. His steel works in Romania , Czech Republic , Macedonia and Italy made bumper profits this year and he will pay off most off the debt

These stories really highlight the folly of investment banking... all these millions of dollars being thrown around at the whim of a select few... it would be hard to convince me this wealth wouldn't alleviate the extreme poverty we see throughout the world

I think Sanjeev Gupta and Lex Greensill simply outfoxed the establishment using cunning and by all accounts, they simply sailed close to the wind without breaking the law - so far. How else could Sanjeev built such and empire when no bank would lend to him? He had to use backstreet financing. You do what you have to. Good on him - he still has saved lots of jobs.

Surely this involvement by the civil service in quid pro quo deals is nothing new for avid watchers of Yes Minister. Lex Luther reminds me of Sir Desmond Glasebrook. Sir Desmond was as clueless as Lex Greensill as to the trade he pursued merely carrying a copy of the FT for show and calling Milton Friedman Milton Keynes.

Fintech like the derivatives that blew up the economy in 2008 both have one thing in common: opaqueness. When are our govts going to learn that banking needs to be boring and regulated.
