    Gambling payment processor goes bust after "misplacing" $2 billion

    Wirecard had a good run, an established company that had attracted a lot of attention and began working with a number of important clients around the world. However, it was revealed last week that $2.1 billion was missing from its balance sheet following an investigation led by The Financial Times that started last year. It’s a major embarrassment both for the company, as well as Germany’s financial regulator, BaFin.

    The company’s CEO, Markus Braun, has already been arrested for allegedly cooking the books and showing false data on Wirecard’s balance sheet. He had been in charge of the company for 18 years and was responsible for taking it to new heights, including a spot on the DAX 30 index. However, Braun was reportedly able to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes, and the financial health of the company was nowhere near as strong as he had made it seem.

    The missing money is reportedly held in two banks in the Philippines, according to Wirecard. However, both banks have denied any relationship with the company, and it has now been revealed that the “evidence” showing the connection with the banks had been completely fabricated, possibly with assistance from someone inside the financial institutions. Now, the Philippines wants Wirecard’s former chief operating officer, Jan Marsalek, to appear before officials in order to try to get to the truth. Marsalek was fired from Wirecard earlier this week and is reportedly already in the Philippines.
