The Collapse of Silicon Valley Bank

This week on Brazen Presents, we’re sharing a special edition of The Closer Weekly. Last month, Project Brazen launched The Closer, a new podcast sharing the inside stories of the deals that changed the world. Then, just as season one wrapped, signs came of a potential banking crisis, and we realised the story was just getting started. Enter: The Closer Weekly. Like The Closer, this new weekly edition will delve into the deals that shape the world around us, but with a fresh focus on the biggest stories shaking up business today.  In episode one, The Closer Weekly dives into the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank with Financial Times journalist Tabby Kinder, one of the first to report on weaknesses at the bank.

Om Podcasten

William Veres is in trouble. In 2018 he was arrested following the largest ever investigation by the Italian police’s art squad. They accuse him of running a pan-European art-smuggling ring with ties to the Sicilian mafia. He is alleged to have stolen $40 million worth of art and antiquities from Italy. Charged with 14 counts, including money laundering, forgery, wire fraud and conspiracy, he faces a jail term of up to 20 years. But he has a plan to get out of trouble. In this four-part podcast, host Simon Willis follows him as he puts that plan into action. It’s a story that takes listeners deep into the underworld, and into the dark heart of the most famous criminal organization of them all – Cosa Nostra. It is a story of drug dealers, hitmen, smugglers, spies – even a corrupt prime minister. And in the middle of it all is William Veres’s quest to save himself. How? By solving the coldest cold case in the history of art crime – the theft of Caravaggio’s Nativity.
