Episode 211: Björgólfur Thor Björgólfssonand (part 2)
🕑 Added 2021-01-01 23:36:05 +0000 UTCOn our part 2 on Björgólfur Thor Björgólfssonand"Join us for part 2 of our investigation into Björgólfur Thor Björgólfsson, Iceland's first and hopefully last billionaire. In this episode, we focus on Thor's supposedly oligarch-connected beverage business from the 90s post-USSR Russia; and, Thor's active role in the 2008 Icelandic Banking crisis. Thor wants you believe his control over Iceland's then-largest bank wasn't decisive in banging about the risky deals associated with the crash - but it was, and we show how.
