The Hypo Alpe Adria affair is certainly the most expensive financial scandal of the Austrian postwar era. What caused it are greed and a lack of ethos, corruption and overzealous investments. For Hypotopia, Igor Hauzenberger accompanied the twenty-month-long fact-finding mission and looked into the issue of who is responsible for the damages, and their abstract dimensions. Investigative, tenacious, and informative.
