Read it:
In 1990s Bulgaria a car owner bought a sticker from an insurer so that the insurer's own men would leave the car alone. This book follows that bargain from the wrestlers who sold it to the fortunes that followed: a bank whose 2014 collapse drained the deposit fund of 3.7 billion leva, a lottery owner and a politician sanctioned by Washington, a deputy prosecutor shot dead at his door, and OneCoin, run from an office in Sofia, whose founder vanished in 2017 — and the Bulgarian reporters who did the work their state would not. Covers Ruja Ignatova and OneCoin, Tsvetan Vasilev and the Corporate Commercial Bank, Vasil Bozhkov and the National Lottery, Delyan Peevski and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, and Vasil Iliev and VIS.
