Re-Spin: Did Wirecard's collapse shape the future of whistleblowing?

The Wirecard scandal has become the stuff of legend.


A German payments company, worth tens of billions of euros, collapsed following the exposure of massive accounting fraud and financial misconduct. It sent shockwaves across the financial industry and to the very top of the German government.


But none of it would have been possible without the actions of a whistleblower.


In this episode – originally published in 2024 – Marit Rødevand is joined by Pav Gill, Founder & CEO of Confide, to ask: Did Wirecard's collapse shape the future of whistleblowing?


The pair discuss: Pav's journey from whistleblower to founder, the hidden impact of calling out wrongdoing, and how whistleblowing will look going forward.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy
