How to Launder Money

“The authors explore the many ways money laundering has been undertaken, often with a touch of humour. Their explanation will expose nothing to the launderers; the book’s purpose is to inform the enforcers and enable them to do their jobs better - and to entertain us. The large number of techniques presented by the authors is impressive and their accounts of money laundering are fascinating.” –Warren Coats, president of Economic Consulting, former adviser to several central banks and former economist at the International Monetary Fund

“This is not another mere guide or handbook but a definitive in-depth exploration of all aspects and dimensions of the art of money laundering. I congratulate the authors on successfully writing a seriously entertaining book that hooks the reader from introduction to epilogue as tenaciously as a le Carré thriller. Essential reading for all professionals.” –David Probert, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence expert

“This witty, erudite romp through the history of money laundering takes the reader from ancient China to Al Capone to cryptocurrency. It’s a panorama of fraud, from the brilliant to the mind-bogglingly stupid. Highly recommended for students of finance, banking and law and anyone who likes to marvel at human criminal ingenuity.” –Nina Burleigh, New York Times-bestselling author and adjunct professor at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute

“A rip-roaring ride through stealing, scrubbing and stashing.” –Jamison Firestone, human rights and anti-corruption lawyer
