Wirecard was a company that provided payment and financial services in Germany and around the world. It started in 1999 and joined the DAX index of top companies. It said it had new ways of doing electronic payments, managing risks, and issuing cards. It had a large workforce and customer base by 2019. But Wirecard was also involved in a huge fraud that made it go bankrupt in 2020. The company lied about its money, income, and business by making up fake numbers and deals. It confessed that it could not find €1.9 billion of its money. The fraud was revealed by people who worked for the company, reporters, and accountants after many years of doubts and checks. The scandal led to many people being arrested or quitting, including the former boss Markus Braun. It also caused many problems and changes for its shareholders, lenders, clients, watchdogs, accountants, and banks.
