In "Operation Banker," award-winning journalist Rubens Valente takes readers on a gripping journey into the world of high finance, political intrigue, and corporate greed. At the heart of the story is the rise and fall of André Esteves, the charismatic and ruthless banker who masterminded a scheme that would shake Brazil to its core.

A Master of Manipulation

Esteves, the former CEO of BTG Pactual, one of Brazil's largest investment banks, was a financial wizard who seemed to have the Midas touch.

But behind his façade of success lay a web of corruption and manipulation that would eventually bring him down.

A Scheme of Epic Proportions

Esteves's grand plan involved using BTG Pactual's vast resources to manipulate the Brazilian currency, the real. By artificially inflating the value of the real, Esteves and his cohorts were able to make billions in profits while wreaking havoc on the Brazilian economy.
