Omschrijving

Every year, $32 trillion disappears into the shadows—money that should fund schools, hospitals, and infrastructure instead enriches the world's most sophisticated criminals.

This explosive exposé reveals how money laundering evolved from crude 1920s bootlegger schemes into today's AI-powered financial crime networks that process more wealth than most countries produce.

Investigative journalist Michael Rodriguez uncovers the shocking truth behind history's greatest financial fraud operations: Swiss banks that laundered Nazi gold, the BCCI scandal that proved major institutions could operate as criminal enterprises, Manuel Noriega's transformation of Panama into a narco-state, and the Russian Laundromat's $20 billion automated washing machine.

From organized crime bosses like Meyer Lansky who built the first offshore empires, to political corruption schemes involving presidents and oligarchs, to cutting-edge cryptocurrency and NFT white collar crime—this book exposes the hidden architecture of global offshore banking that enables the ultra-wealthy to play by different rules.

Discover how:

Prohibition-era gangsters invented modern laundering techniques Swiss banking secrecy enabled war crimes and continues today Artificial intelligence now automates billion-dollar criminal operations NFT art markets became the latest washing machines for dirty money Your tax dollars subsidize this massive criminal enterprise

The shadow economy isn't just stealing money—it's stealing democracy itself.

This meticulously researched investigation connects the dots between financial technology, organized crime, and the erosion of democratic institutions, revealing why every citizen has a stake in understanding how the world's biggest money-washing machine really works.

The laundromat is open 24/7. It's time you knew who's using it.
