The Biggest Secret Worldwide Bank Fraud Revealed
Hester Bais

Since 2014, Dutch lawyer and whistleblower Hester Bais has been urging authorities to halt the massive international bank fraud in OTC derivatives and collateral shell games. As a result of their shenanigans, banks ended up under water on collateral to the tune of €200 billion in the Netherlands, €400 billion in Germany, €320 billion in France, €300 billion in the United Kingdom—and trillions of euros globally. Hester consistently reports her findings to authorities in the Netherlands and beyond, including the SEC (since 2018) and CFTC (since 2023).
