E79: How Wirecard's collapse shaped the future of whistleblowing

The Wirecard scandal has become the subject of legend in the financial industry.


The German payments company, formerly worth tens of billions of euros, collapsed following the exposure of massive accounting fraud and financial misconduct.


The fall of Wirecard sent shockwaves across the financial industry as well as right to the very top of politics, but none of it would have been possible without the actions of a whistleblower.


To call out financial misconduct and illegal practices takes enormous strength, courage and determination – but what are the costs for the individuals involved and what does this look like in a post-Wirecard world?


In the latest episode of The Laundry – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Pav Gill, Founder & CEO of Confide.


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

Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Nicholas Thon
