Hot Money: Agent of Chaos

If you’re caught up on season four of Industry and confused by the Tender of it all, I recommend listening to the podcast Hot Money: Agent of Chaos. Season 3 covers the story of Wirecard, a “highflying German fintech” that collapsed in 2020, and its COO, Jan Marsalek, who doubled as a Russian Spy.

Fraudulent businesses abroad. Politicians buying headlines. Billions of dollars gone missing or maybe never even existing at all. It all happened.

I already feel a steady anxiety watching the show just hoping Yasmin and Harper find a way to relax. But now, I feel a very real dread knowing this story could be more of a reality than I would like to believe.

Anyway, it’s pretty interesting!
