I am the watcher on the walls. I'm the shield that guards, the realms of men. I pledged my life and honor to the night's watch for this night and all the nights to come. 

How do you stop a crime that has not happened yet? 
How do you figure out how some assassin will strike before they've actually done so? 

This is the essential conundrum of the American Secret Service. They are the men and women who guard the US President and other important public figures in America.  To be clear, they're not for a particular party, they're not Democrat nor Republican. They protect the representative of the people, whoever it is. They are like the Game of Thrones' Nightwatch. The guard the realm and they do so with their very lives. 

In today's episode, we'll talk about various assassination attempts, some successful, some failed, on US political figures.  In almost all of them the forgotten figure was a Secret Service agent, who knowing there was danger, stepped in front of bullets and knives for the person they were protecting.  Their names have been almost all forgotten, except within that small band of watchers who guard the realm...

It was a monumental stock fraud.

The "Wolf of Wall Street" ran a pump-and-dump operation that netted him and the other criminal leaders tens of millions of dollars.

They stole the money of pensioners, widows, and the poor. They bought themselves luxury yachts, expensive cars, and opulent mansions. They enjoyed a lifestyle of parties, strippers, and drugs.

No one stopped them. That is until Greg Coleman of the FBI got involved.

He, and his team, took down the Wolf.

On Crimewaves, Coleman tells the story and also gives tips on successful interviews, how to track criminals, and other investigative techniques.

You're standing over the body of a woman who's been murdered. She's been killed for loan sharking at a casino by organized crime mobsters. This is the price of blood. This is the thing that few people ever talk about when discussing money laundering, you know, the usual barking guff of expensive defense lawyers and their trained seals in the media

How financial crimes are victimless, administrative misdemeanor. Today, on crime waves, we are gonna examine how the bloody trail of cash linked to Mexican drug cartels and corrupt Chinese communist officials was laundered through Canadian casinos. It was a process that went on for over a decade. A lot of people knew about it, but no one did anything to.

And this week we have an expert on money laundering. Peter German, the former Deputy Commissioner of the Mounts, that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. German produced two reports entitled “Dirty Money”, which revealed the depth of money laundering in the casino industry in Vancouver, Canada. Good morning, Peter.
