Late last week, Richard White - the CEO of one of Australia’s biggest tech company, WiseTech Global - stepped down. It came after a major investigation by Nine Newspapers into the billionaire founder of the software and logistics business.

An outpouring of scandals, both in his professional and private life, have dominated headlines since.

In today’s deep dive, we’ll take a look at the massive Richard White scandal, and what it could mean for one of Australia's most prolific publicly listed companies. 

Hosts: Harry Sekulich and Sam Koslowski
