4.8 out of 5 stars from 141 ratings
  • Would give 6 stars!

    I’m not a big listener of podcasts, but the Laundry gets me excited every week for a new release! As someone who works in the field of financial crime, I used to find most podcasts on related topics to be too dry, too specific and not engaging. Discovering The Laundry has made me engaged on a whole other level!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E181: INTERPOL’s advice is “laughable”?! How deepfakes are used in money laundering
Q: What's your take on that?
Asked about INTERPOL's advice to pause, verify and agree on a family safe word, Kronenberg calls safe words inadequate and says organizations should use systems that analyze multiple forms of data and clearly signal whether communications are trustworthy.
E181: INTERPOL’s advice is “laughable”?! How deepfakes are used in money laundering
Q: Can you tell us a bit about where the money or the funds are heading? Who's behind all of this?
Kronenberg says attacks are carried out by a range of actors, from individuals to state-sponsored groups. Criminal networks may divide work by specialization, such as gathering data, gaining access or deploying malware, and may sell successful attacks to other organizations.
E180: Is football ready for the AML rulebook?
Q: Why do Premier League clubs need to care about EU AML rules if AMLA cannot directly fine English clubs?
Isabel Lemes says English clubs have European players, investors, sponsorships and banking relationships, and UK governance requirements can create indirect consequences when they fail to meet AML expectations.
E180: Is football ready for the AML rulebook?
Q: Why does football keep turning up when it comes to financial crime and money laundering stories?
Carlo Boffa says football has a long history of financial crime risks, and its huge audience lets owners buy respectability and influence. Financially troubled clubs can also attract wealthy owners and opaque money.
E179: Who is buying flowers at midnight? A money laundering walking tour
Q: How do you spot money laundering on the high street?
Holt recommends comparing a business's activity with its sales, checking patterns and peer businesses, and assessing the full context rather than relying on one signal.
