So I had no idea what I would be reading when I started, but WOW what an amazing story. I could not stop. Halfway through I thought to myself this would make an amazing TV series as it seemingly has everything: finance, politics, spies, assassinations, backdrops of the UK, Germany, Libya, Singapore, Philippines, Russian mercenaries, private mansion gatherings, a cunning mastermind (Marsalek)...I'll just call it now and say that one day a production company will make a killer TV series out of this (a movie is too short to do it complete justice).

There may have even been Russian involvement on a state level. Parts of Wirecard were maybe a Russian FSB operation. Jan Marsalek was from Vienna, which is still one of the most important FSB outposts in Europe. There are some threads connecting Marsalek and the Russians to the government and the administration in Austria, that may be connected. But it’s just speculation, no real evidence backing it up (yet).

  Isn't he (Marsalek) hiding in Russia now?

    Yes, he probably still is. A while ago he was allegedly observed by german intelligence living in a villa in Russia. But it seems like Russia doesn’t want to extradite him, similar to Ed Snowden.
