But a veneer of high-class service disguised a darker, dirtier reality. From its sterile Zurich headquarters, Credit Suisse banked dictators and drug dealers, hid stolen Nazi gold, and helped fraudsters fleece the bank's own clients out of billions of dollars. Its top executives oversaw a global operation that laundered money for autocrats; they hired spies to track one another through the cobbled streets of the Swiss financial capital; and they helped clients hide their money from the world's tax authorities. This is the story of the tawdry total meltdown of one of the biggest, most influential--and most scandal-ridden--banks on the planet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Uniquely sourced to tell the story of Credit Suisse's demise, Duncan Mavin has dozens of inside-the-room contacts who can spill exclusive details about the bank. \u003ci\u003eMeltdown\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to the global audience of readers fascinated by the corruption that permeates international finance. It's an international tale that takes us from Mozambique to Australia, from Hong Kong to New York, and, of course, inside the hushed marble corridors of Zurich's banking elite.
