Summary

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Discover the most audacious financial fraud in Middle Eastern history in this gripping true crime masterpiece. 
In 1995, a mysterious man from Mali walked into Dubai Islamic Bank with a simple request: a car loan. Three years later, Fousseyni Babaani Sissoko had vanished with $242 million, leaving behind the greatest banking scandal the Arab world had ever witnessed. 
This isn't just another fraud story—it's a tale that defies belief. How did a village sorcerer convince a sophisticated bank manager that he possessed supernatural powers to multiply money? Why did Mohammad Ayub authorize 183 transfers across three continents without question? And how did such astronomical sums disappear from one of the region's largest banks for years without detection? 
From darkened rooms filled with incense and "genies" to Miami's luxury hotels and Swiss prisons, follow Sissoko's extraordinary journey from poverty to unimaginable wealth. Witness his transformation into a folk hero with private jets and his own airline, before his ultimate downfall and return to obscurity. 
Drawing from court documents, FBI investigations, and exclusive interviews, this meticulously researched account exposes the vulnerabilities in global banking systems while exploring the psychology of deception, greed, and human gullibility. 
A stunning exposé that reads like fiction but is frighteningly real—revealing how one man's audacious scheme shook the foundations of international finance. 
Perfect for fans of true crime, financial thrillers, and stories of con artists who changed history.
