The Wirecard scandal: German regulator suspends its employee for insider trading (S2E4)

Our feature story this week discusses one of the largest accounting scandals in German history. We also discuss stories ranging from the fight for a 13 year fight for compensation by farmers in Nigeria to allegations that a popular dating app sold of its users data. The feature story includes all the markings of a riveting Hollywood movie – financial fraud, corporate coverup, and even a fugitive that is still missing. Given the recent discussions around GameStop shares in the United States, this is one you do not want to miss.
