Read it:
The Czech Republic gave the post-communist world a word for looting a company from the inside: tunneling. This book follows the money from the voucher funds that promised citizens ten times their money, through a godfather shot by a sniper whose murder ran out of time, a governor caught with cash in a wine box and a night raid on the prime minister's own office, to a European subsidy at the Stork's Nest and a ministry that accepted darknet bitcoin as a gift. Covers Viktor Kožený and the Harvard funds, Radovan Krejčíř, František Mrázek, David Rath, Petr Nečas and Jana Nečasová, Andrej Babiš and the Čapí hnízdo case, the Mostecká uhelná managers and Appian Group, Michal Redl and the Dozimetr case, and Tomáš Jiřikovský and the bitcoin gift.
