Huh, Apparently The Wirecard Crew Were Even More Psychopathic Than Previously Surmised (Russian nerve gas?)

Ms Warrell is Defence and Security Editor at the Financial Times, the other two broke the Wirecard story.
(along with other FT scribes in Asia, the Middle East and Germany)
From the Financial Times:

Vanished chief operating officer of fraud-hit payments group hinted at secret service links
Wirecard executive Jan Marsalek touted secret documents about the use of a Russian chemical weapon in the UK, as he bragged of ties to intelligence services to ingratiate himself with London traders. 
The documents, which have been reviewed by the Financial Times, included the formula for novichok, the world’s deadliest nerve agent....
The U.S. now has an unrelated investigation going as well.
