Reviews

'A stimulating, critical examination of TBML and how it is combatted (or not). The authors cogently argue that the true danger of TBML is not its invisibility, but our belief that rigorous compliance frameworks equal control, when in fact, the illusion of control allows illicit finance to flourish.' Michael Levi, Cardiff University, UK 'TBML is arguably the largest and most consequential money laundering methodology today, yet simultaneously the least understood, recognized, and enforced. This timely and valuable book provides fresh insights. I applaud its focus on how both policymakers and practitioners often prioritize symbolic responses over meaningful and substantive countermeasures.' John Cassara, former U.S. Treasury Special Agent (retired); Author of Trade-Based Money Laundering: The Next Frontier in International Money Laundering Enforcement 'Following decades of debate on the topic, this book cuts through the noise of AML rhetoric to show how trade-based money laundering is often a distraction—a hoax, a misrepresentation of what is really happening. It is a must-read for policymakers and practitioners seeking to understand the realities surrounding the fight against the trillions of dollars in dirty money circulating the globe.' Nicholas Gilmour, Co-founder, Vortex Risk; Co-author, The War on Dirty Money
