Meltdown: Scandal, Sleaze and the Collapse of Credit Suisse

₦32,500

“Meltdown” tells the shocking true story of how one of the world’s biggest and most powerful banks — Credit Suisse — collapsed after 166 years of hiding secrets.

For decades, Credit Suisse was seen as a symbol of wealth and Swiss banking excellence. Behind the polished image, however, the bank was deeply involved with shady clients — from dictators and drug dealers to corrupt billionaires — and helped some of them move or steal money. Even as it grew bigger and richer, buying smaller banks and paying its top bosses huge bonuses, trouble was building.

This book takes you inside the quiet halls of its Zurich office, revealing how greed, arrogance, and poor decisions by a few powerful men eventually brought the entire system crashing down.

Written by Bloomberg journalist Duncan Mavin, “Meltdown” is not just about one bank — it’s a rare, eye-opening look into the dark side of global finance. It uncovers the lies, ambition, and corruption that threaten even the biggest financial empires.
