About Der große Fake - Die Wirecard-Story
Once celebrated as a DAX star, Wirecard collapsed amid revelations of falsified balance sheets and phantom revenues. Accused of fraud, embezzlement, and market manipulation via a whistleblower’s testimony, the firm’s downfall exposed BaFin’s failure to act and its legal battles against critical journalists. Ex‐COO Jan Marsalek vanished the day he was suspended and remains internationally wanted. This docudrama traces the scope of a multibillion‐euro scandal.
Directed by Raymond Ley, Der große Fake - Die Wirecard-Story leans on a strong ensemble — Christoph Maria Herbst, Franz Hartwig, Nina Kunzendorf — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2021.
