Welcome to The Soapbox, a summer special from The Laundry.

The humble soapbox has been used for free speech and the open sharing of views for over a century!

We're channeling that spirit and inviting industry experts to share their hot takes on today's most pressing questions.

This week:

* Do sanctions make a real impact, or do they just help us feel like we’re acting?

* What motivates you to keep fighting financial crime?

* Is AMLA driving real change, or just more paperwork?

Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy

Engineer: Nicholas Thon
