4.8 out of 5 stars from 133 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!

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

I get hope from the fact that there are so many people who continue to fight against money laundering, who recognize how important it is to try and make it difficult for criminals to keep their money.

Q: What is your favorite American candy?
