About this scam
Wirecard AG was a German payment processing company that collapsed in June 2020 after admitting that €1.9 billion in cash on its balance sheet did not exist. The fraud involved fabricated revenue from third-party acquirers in Asia, fake escrow accounts in Philippine banks, and years of auditor failures. Former COO Jan Marsalek remains a fugitive. CEO Markus Braun was arrested and charged with commercial gang fraud.
