E86: How technology became a money laundering machine

Technology has drastically changed nearly every aspect our lives – but has it all been for the better?


In this episode, we are spelling out the complex relationship between money laundering and organised crime – and how technology is the ‘rocket booster’ underneath it all.


Our expert host, Marit Rødevand is joined by investigative journalist and author, Geoff White, to discuss his new book: Rinsed: From Cartels to Crypto: How the Tech Industry Washes Money for the World's Deadliest Crooks.


The pair talk about Geoff's work in finding fascinating stories of criminals exploiting tech's weaknesses, what stories of massive financial crime tell us about the current state of technology, and what the future looks like as technology and crime become more entwined.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Nicholas Thon
