What went wrong with Wirecard? The #payment processing giant was Germany’s #tech darling during the period where #Europe was desperate for a tech champion.

In this episode, you will hear how Dan’s #persistence and #journalism #integrity helped him win a 6-year long battle against Wirecard, and the twists and turns that occurred in the financial investigation of the decade . The extraordinary story will unveil:
