One of the dirtiest secrets of financial crime and money laundering is that there is a whole professional network of facilitators or enablers who help run the whole thing.

Without these experts, many criminals wouldn’t have the first idea about how to conceal their funds, dodge sanctions, or wash their criminal earnings.

These enablers are hiding in plain sight…and there is NOTHING we can do about it! Or can we?

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Maíra Martini, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Transparency International, and Kristin Nordland Brattli, Partner at Wikborg Rein, to ask: how can we stop the enablers of financial crime?

The panel discuss: how this networks works and operates, the challenges in stopping it, and the potential solutions in tackling this issue.

Live from the Ministry of Sound in London!

What if we could combine all the knowledge from our industry into one powerful source? Connecting all that expertise, years of career experience, all those war stories, and secret knowledge together.

We used AI to compress 60 hours of podcasting, 80 experts, and 360,000 words of conversation into one AML Megamind AI. Then we put it to the test against the experts!

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Chloe Cina of RUSI, Jessica Cath of Thistle Initiatives, and Mitch Trehan of Allica Bank.

The panel discuss three provocative statements: "the compliance industry is more focused on box-ticking than truly fighting financial crime", "sanctions are great for headlines - but criminals use them as a roadmap", and "AI hasn't stopped criminals—it’s just made their jobs easier".

We made it to 100 episodes!

That's 100 conversations exploring the issues that matter most to both us and you.

In addition to reaching this milestone, we have just released the AML Megaminds Report – built from over 60 hours of The Laundry, analysed by AI, to create an ultimate source of knowledge in the industry.

Marit Rødevand is joined in Greece by The Laundry co-hosts, Robin Lycka and Fredrik Riiser, to discuss: What can you learn from 100 episodes of The Laundry?

The trio discuss key findings from the report, including: 70% of experts believe AML measures are inefficient, 40% believe sanctions are not working, and 70% are optimistic about AI's impact.

The panel also share their big learnings from the podcast to date and we hear what NotebookLM makes of the report.
