In this episode of Lurking in the Fog, we are joined by Bryan Earl, a seasoned attorney, investigator, and former FBI Special Agent with over two decades of experience unraveling financial crime and corruption. From post-Soviet corruption to offshore laundering schemes, Earl walks us through one of the most consequential investigations of his career: the prosecution of a former Ukrainian Prime Minister. He unpacks how millions were siphoned from Ukraine through extortion, shell companies, and offshore banks, eventually landing in U.S. real estate and private bank accounts. We also explore the evolving landscape of Russian and Ukrainian threats, the transformation of organized crime, and how a shrinking window for global cooperation threatens the fight against kleptocracy. Tune in for a riveting journey through corruption, investigation, and the fight against dirty money.
