Puppet Master

The secrets of Markus Jooste and the Steinhoff crash

Framing the global “Whistleblowers’ Revolution” as a vital response to democratic malaise, this volume examines the socio-legal dynamics surrounding the exposure of illegal or unethical practices in both the public and private sectors. The analysis covers innovative legal frameworks and protective regimes across multiple jurisdictions while also closing the divide between theory and practice. The volume brings together contributions from distinguished scholars and practitioners alongside firsthand accounts from whistleblowers, resulting in a holistic approach that evaluates existing and prospective measures aimed at empowering truth-tellers and confronting entrenched cultures of silence.
The volume is structured to connect theory with lived experience. It moves from a transnational socio-legal analysis of global conditions (Part 1) to critical jurisdiction-based assessments across multiple countries (Part 2). The work then culminates in a series of firsthand narratives (Part 3), offered by insiders whose accounts reveal the significance, personal costs, and institutional consequences tied to speaking truth to power.

Everyday Forensics to Unmask Business Fraud

Catching Cheats

An instant New York Times bestseller! “Super-charged with electrifying action, mind-blowing twists, and timely commentary.” —Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Iron Widow From #1 New York Times bestselling author Chloe Gong comes the first book in the dystopian StrangeLoom trilogy, an “adrenaline-fueled mystery” (School Library Journal, starred review) in which humanity has moved to virtual reality to flee their deteriorating world, following two young soldiers who must depend on unlikely allies in their fight for survival. The future is loading… To escape rising seas and rampant epidemics, most of society lives “upcountry” in glistening virtual reality, while those who can’t afford the subscription are forced to remain in crumbling “downcountry.” But upcountry isn’t perfect. A cold war rages between two powerful nations, Medaluo and Atahua—and no one suffers for it more than the Medan orphans in Atahua. Their enrollment at Nile Military Academy is mandatory. Either serve as a soldier, or risk being labelled a spy. Eirale graduated the academy and joined NileCorp’s private forces downcountry, exactly as she was supposed to. Then Atahua’s most wanted anarchist frames her for assassinating a government official, and she’s given a choice: cooperate with him to search for a dangerous program in Medaluo or go down for treason. Meanwhile, Lia is finishing her last year upcountry at Nile Military Academy. Paired with her academic nemesis for their final assignment, Lia is determined to beat him for valedictorian and prove her worth. But there may be far more at stake when their task to infiltrate Medaluo and track down an Atahuan traitor goes wrong… Though Eirale and Lia tear through Medaluo on different planes of reality, the two start to suspect they are puzzle pieces in a larger conspiracy—and the closer they get to the truth, the closer their worlds come to a shattering collision.

Schriftenreihe zum deutschen, europäischen und internationalen Wirtschaftsstrafrecht

Konzerne prägen die Wirtschaft - doch wo endet individuelle Straf- und Bußgeldverantwortung, wenn Rechtsverstöße in Tochtergesellschaften auftreten? Die Arbeit untersucht die strafrechtliche Garantenstellung (§ 13 StGB) und die bußgeldbewehrte Aufsichtspflicht (§ 130 OWiG) in Unternehmensverbünden umfassend. Sie definiert Voraussetzungen und Grenzen individueller Verantwortlichkeit und konturiert die Anforderungen zur Erfüllung der Handlungs- und Aufsichtspflicht. Ergänzend werden mögliche Parallelen zu zivilrechtlichen Haftungsmodellen analysiert. Den Abschluss bildet ein konkreter Vorschlag zur gesetzgeberischen Klarstellung.

'A gripping narrative, strengthened by Wheeler's longstanding connection to the story' Financial Times 'Moving, angering' The Times The definitive account of the NHS infected blood scandal from Journalist of the Year at the British Journalism Awards 2024 In the 1970s and 1980s almost 5,000 haemophiliacs were infected with HIV or hepatitis C after being given contaminated NHS blood products. So far more than 2,800 people are known to have died in what has been described as the 'worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS'. Sunday Times political editor Caroline Wheeler has been reporting on the scandal for two decades. She has been pivotal to the campaign for justice for the victims, whose stories form the heart of this book. As the long-running Infected Blood Inquiry delivers its final verdict Death in the Blood is an unforgettable epic of human suffering, loss and survival against the odds. 'Caroline has been so supportive to the victims and survivors of the NHS contaminated blood scandal. She has been an integral part of our long fight for justice and enabled people like me to speak out with confidence, when there was little confidence before' Ade Goodyear, former pupil at Treloar School

The most shocking scandal in NHS history from the journalist who has followed the story for over two decades

Death in the Blood

When does a philosophy become a conspiracy? In 2024, Sam Bankman-Fried — once hailed as the future of finance and one of the richest men in America — was sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing $11 billion and collapsing over a hundred companies. Stealing the Future is the inside story of that unraveling, told by a member of the CoinDesk team that first broke the case. But this is more than a true crime story. It’s a journey into the tangled web of tech-utopianism, libertarian idealism, and the seductive ideologies of Silicon Valley — from Effective Altruism to transhumanism — that helped cloak one of the biggest financial frauds of the 21st century. As these philosophies increasingly fuel the global far right, Stealing the Future asks: what happens when abstract theories gain real power — and who’s really paying the price?
