Elliot Cranmer

Elliot Cranmer is an investigative journalist who spent twelve years covering white-collar crime for ProPublica and The New York Times. He writes about money, fraud, and the systems that let both flourish. His reporting has been shortlisted for two Loeb Awards and a National Magazine Award.

His long-form biographies, including The Manifesto, The Sixth Floor, El Chapo, and The Hidden Hills Estate, examine the intersection of extreme wealth, power, and criminality. He relies on public records, financial audits, and hundreds of hours of personal interviews to reconstruct complex financial schemes.

He lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he spends his free time restoring vintage road bikes and volunteering at a local community garden.
