E76: The rise of state-backed gangsters

We are witnessing the birth of a new criminal class complicating life for authorities, AML professionals, and law enforcement.


In today’s episode, our expert host Fredrik Riiser presents the rise of state-backed gangsters.


Miles Johnson is investigative reporter for the Financial Times and he recently joined us live on-stage in Shoreditch to deliver a fascinating keynote on this timely subject.


This episode, we’re bringing those insights to you!


Listen in to hear about: North Korean hackers stealing two billion dollars of cash and crypto assets, planned executions by members of a motorcycle gang, and a shady crime boss known as 'Big Guy'.
