E151: Have we got anti-money laundering all wrong?

E151: Have we got anti-money laundering all wrong?

In this industry, we’re constantly told that financial criminals are 'one step ahead' – but what if the very systems we built to stop them are actually giving them the lead?


Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Oliver Bullough, author of Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won, to ask: Have we got anti-money laundering all wrong?


The pair discuss: the biggest flaws in the current system, a world tour that connects Bicester Village, Texas, and the Marshall Islands, and do we just give up the fight against the bad actors?


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy

Video: Loïs Dunford
