Read it:
Iran, 1995 to 2026. Under sanctions, the gap between the state's price for a dollar and the street's became the most valuable thing an insider could be handed, and the state that hanged traders for economic crimes was itself, through its foundations and Revolutionary Guards, the largest player in the market. From a fugitive judge found dead in Bucharest to forged letters of credit, an oil broker sentenced to death and later released, a tea importer's $3.37 billion and a bank that lent to its owner's mall, it asks who was punished, who was not, and who paid. Covers Babak Zanjani and the Sorinet group, Akbar Rahimi Darabad and Debsh, Ali Ansari and Bank Ayandeh, Mahafarid Amir Khosravi and the Aria group, and Setad and the Revolutionary Guards.
