March 23, 2020 Swedbank - the Clifford Chance report
Following the release of the Clifford Chance report into Swedbank's High Risk Non Resident portfolio (HRNR) in the Baltic States, we have recorded a special episode based on our initial review of the Executive Summary of the report.

In our opinion it mostly makes for "ugly reading".

February 21, 2020 Let's talk about sex(ism)!
In what is probably the most important episode we've recorded to date, we talk about the way in which money laundering is reported and the potentially sexist narrative that underpins it.

We also talk about how the frame of reference which the general public forms in relation to money laundering can be altered (for better or worse) by the manner of that reporting.
