In this conversation, I speak with a former Swiss banker who held various senior-level positions before blowing the whistle on his employer, an influential investment bank, and exposing their alleged misconduct. In this episode, Rudolf shares his story, including how he confronted the authorities, challenged the dominant narrative, and paid the price for his actions. We also talked about the current banking situation, offshore tax havens, who the winners and losers are in their activities, and illicit financial flows and their consequences for broader society. Rudolf's books include "BANKENTERROR" [English: Bank Terror] (2010) and "Stalking auf dem Schweizer Finanzplatz" [English: Stalking in the Swiss Financial Center] (2020).
