Iceland's secret

Born in Massachusetts, Jared Bibler

relocated to Iceland in 2004 only to find himself in the

middle of an unprecedented financial crisis a handful of

years later

Personally wiped out and seeking to uncover the truth

about a collapse that brought the pastoral country to its

knees, he became the lead investigator into some of the

largest financial crimes in the world. This work helped

Iceland to famously become the only country to jail its bank

CEOs in the wake of the 2008 crisis.

But the real story behind that headline is far more complex

- and sinister.

A decade after the investigations, the story can be told at

last and in ful. The crisis, barely understood inside or

Outside of lceland even today, is a cautionary tale for the

world: an inside look at the high crimes that inevitably

follow Wild West capitalism.

With the next global financial meltdown just around the

coner, this untold tale is as timely as ever.
