E60: I went from a life of crime to an anti-corruption hero

Our guest for this episode is unique to The Laundry so far!


In 2007, he was convicted under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for the kind of financial crimes our podcast audience are typically looking to combat!


However, following cooperation with a sting operation, working undercover for three years, and a fourteen month spell in prison – he now raises awareness of the risks he once found themselves at the center of.


In this week's episode – our host, Fredrik Riiser is joined by Richard Bistrong, speaker, consultant, and CEO of Front-Line Anti-Bribery.


They discuss Richard's slippery slope to grand corruption, working with the authorities, and the lessons he teaches to corporations today!


Check out Richard's article for Fast Company on the risks of high-performing employees here, as well as his newsletter "The Compliance Corner" here.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Nicholas Thon
