## Resource

In this industry, we’re constantly told that financial criminals are 'one step ahead' – but what if the very systems we built to stop them are actually giving them the lead?  Our expert host, Marit Rødevand , is joined by Oliver Bullough , author of Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won , to ask:  Have we got anti-money laundering all wrong?  The pair discuss: the biggest flaws in the current system, a world tour that connects Bicester Village, Texas, and the Marshall Islands, and do we just give up the fight against the bad actors? Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles Editor: Dominic Delargy Video: Loïs Dunford ____________________________________ The Laundry podcast explores the complex world of financial crime , anti-money laundering (AML) , compliance , sanctions , and global financial regulation .
