Riassunto

'Rinsed is a triumph. If you want to understand how the chaotic world around us really works, read this book!’ MILES JOHNSON, AUTHOR OF CHASING SHADOWS

'A riveting look at not only the nuts and bolts of cons and crimes but the techniques detectives use to stalk cyber criminals' FINANCIAL TIMES

'Gripping' THE ECONOMIST

There's an old saying: 'a rising tide lifts all boats'. It's normally couched in positive terms; that overall economic improvement will benefit everyone. In the case of hi-tech money laundering, however, it offers a dark vision of the future. The better these launderers become at their work, the more crime of all types will be enabled. It's time to understand where the water is rising, before it washes over us all.

Money laundering has been around for centuries. For as long as people have been willing to steal money, there's been an industry ready to wash it. But recent tech innovations have created vastly complex new systems for laundering that threaten to overwhelm authorities, destabilise economies and disrupt societies.

Rinsed is a revelatory investigation into the new army of innovative criminals using tech to launder money, and the consequences for all of us.
