À propos de cet audio

 AML on the move. Money laundering is more prolific than ever. Legislation and AML initiatives continue to respond. But does it make a difference? The Laundromat is an unfiltered deep dive into the shadowy world of money laundering and its far-reaching consequences. From billion-dollar scandals in global banking to cybercriminal networks exploiting digital loopholes, we expose the intricate methods criminals use to clean dirty money. Each episode unpacks real-life cases—some shocking, some audacious—that reveal the hidden connections between financial crime, corruption, and economic instability. But it’s not just about the criminals; we also examine the regulators, the laws, and the ongoing battle to stay ahead of ever-evolving laundering techniques. This podcast is a must-listen for forensic accountants, AML specialists, cybercrime investigators, and anyone curious about the dark side of global finance. We bring in experts to discuss the red flags, failures in AML enforcement, and how AI and blockchain forensics are changing the game. Why does money laundering persist despite intense scrutiny? What are the biggest risks ahead? And most importantly, how does this impact ordinary people? Join us as we pull back the curtain on a world where trillions move in the shadows—because understanding financial crime is the first step to fighting it.Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks Sciences sociales Économie

    The Shame of Shell Companies
    Aug 13 2025
    The empty vessels that are moving billions of dollars supporting criminals.

    In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s both mysterious and infuriating:
    the use of shell companies, which involves secret wealth, global corruption, and the reason why your country might be losing billions in tax revenue every year.

    The real shock is that the world’s richest economies are quietly the world’s biggest enablers. It’s not just small islands — it’s the big players that set the rules and then exploit them

    Is the Rule of Law Crumbling?
    Aug 13 2025
    According to the World Justice Project, 2024 marked the seventh consecutive year of global rule-of-law decline.

    From South Africa to the United States, from Europe to Latin America, the trends are worrying… and the consequences could shape global compliance for years to come.

    If powerful individuals can escape consequences in the world’s leading democracy, what message does that send to countries already on the edge?

    What do you think? Which trends worry you the most in 2025 — judicial interference, corruption, or civic repression?

  • Tick-a-box vs Outcomes - are documented risk assessments necessary?

    Tick-a-box vs Outcomes - are documented risk assessments necessary?
    Jun 23 2025
    Don't give me rules, give outcomes; don't ask for risk assessments.

    This episode explores the effectiveness or otherwise of rules-based legislation versus principles-based legislation intended for anti-money laundering. Will financial institutions find it easier to apply or not?

    A related regulatory requirement is to draft extensive risk assessments. Do we consult them when a risk occurs? Businesses manage their risks anyway - why do they need it to be documented?

    An opinion is given on whether the financial impact of money laundering is ever factored into published economic statistics such as GDP.
