The Nikkei newspaper has a public face as Japan's leading economic newspaper, and a hidden face shrouded in suspicion. The author, a former ace reporter in the Nikkei's economic department, was shocked to see the dark shadows behind the Itoman case, the Cosmo Credit Union case, and the TCW case. There is a possibility that executives of the company are concealing outrageous scandals. First, a thorough re-examination of the suspicions is conducted. Some of the facts revealed in this book suggest serious misconduct that even the investigative authorities are unaware of. Many acquaintances, including bureaucrats, major banks, and Nikkei alumni, secretly provide information, and the author gradually approaches the suspicions step by step. After several pieces fall into place, what is the chilling truth that emerges? The author, who continues his Don Quixote-like struggle, is met with cynical glances from the "bureaucrats" within the company. Why fight now, when he is guaranteed a high annual salary if he completes his remaining 10 years as a company employee? The author delves into the reasons, looking inward. The Itoman case, the Cosmo Credit Union case, the TCW case... Nikkei executives were active behind the scenes of these three cases that remain in economic crime history. The author, a former ace Nikkei reporter, takes on a lonely battle to pursue the suspicions. Through meticulous analysis and investigation, what is the chilling truth that emerges? Table of Contents Part 1: Dirty Money (Scoop; Itoman Eaten by Darkness; Distorted First Report, etc.) Part 2: Salaryman Reporter (Akasaka "Club Hirakawa"; The Deception of Editorials; Silence as "Constructive Intent," etc.) Part 3: Uprising (The Man Takuhiko Tsuruta; Disciplinary Dismissal; Current Reporters and Alumni Who Followed, etc.) Reviews The Nikkei newspaper has a bad reputation among financial practitioners. It tends to write articles that follow trends or are written with a predetermined direction. This is a record of a grand battle fought by one reporter of the Nikkei. After all, this is non-fiction, and the impact is different. The inside story of a major economic newspaper is realistically depicted. I felt that the principle that an organization rots from the top remains unchanged. It touches on the excessive mixing of public and private affairs by the president of the Nikkei, who prides himself on leading the direction of the Japanese economy, and the Itoman case, which is said to be the largest economic case since the war. The most interesting thing is the Itoman case. More than 100 billion yen disappeared after being taken over by dark forces.
