Long gone are the days when the Escobar family had to spend $2,500 a month on rubber bands to hold the cash they earned trading cocaine.
Now, the invention of cryptocurrency has made money launderers’ life a whole lot easier—or has it?
Investigative journalist Geoff White joins Paul Amery and Timur Yunusov in the latest episode of Unseen Money to discuss:
- Why a New York crypto money laundering prosecution is attracting such close attention
- Why the Tornado Cash case is the “popcorn moment” for the future of money
- Why North Korea’s (alleged) Axie Infinity hack was the biggest theft ever
- Cryptocurrency mixers and decentralised finance
- How technology has changed the business of crime
- The witches’ brew of organised crime, state sponsorship and espionage
- Sanctions regimes, cryptocurrency stablecoins and dollar hegemony
