The company aims to explore narratives from around the world, with a focus on tales of geopolitical intrigue and malfeasance that have been overlooked by mainstream media sources, infusing them with a sense of adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Wright and Hope were longtime collaborators at the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em>, where they wrote groundbreaking front-page stories on some of the biggest events of the day and uncovered global crime. Together, they wrote <em>Billion Dollar Whale<\/em>, about Malaysian playboy Jho Low, the fraud\u2019s mastermind, who ensnared banks, Hollywood celebrities and politicians in his schemes. Project Brazen was the codename Wright and Hope gave to a three-year investigation that spanned the globe. <em>Billion Dollar Whale<\/em> has gone on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies globally.
