Are you ready to step into a parallel world?

It’s a bizarre world where no money moves – but currency changes hands between criminals, state-backed hackers, and drug cartels.

It’s one of the biggest threats in financial crime today – and yet remains massively under–researched and misunderstood.

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Ari Redbord, Global Head of Policy at TRM Labs, to reveals: the secrets of shadow banking!

The pair discuss: the size and scale of shadow banking today, the consequences of this parallel financial system, and what can be done to shut it down.

Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy

Engineer: Nicholas Thon
