For good or for evil: Tech’s role in the world of financial crime

Moody’s Talks: KYC Decoded

It is safe to say technology has done wonders when it comes to AML professionals tackling financial crime, but, on the flip side, it is important to understand how technology is being used by those committing the crimes.
From video game online marketplaces to virtual currency mixers, how can we follow the money when tech is used to cover its tracks?
In this episode of KYC Decoded, we welcome back esteemed guest, Geoff White, investigative journalist and author of the upcoming book, Rinsed: From Cartels to Crypto: How the Tech Industry Washes Money for the World’s Deadliest Crooks.
Get an inside look at some of the crimes that are featured in Rinsed, and listen as Geoff and host, Alex Pillow, explore questions like:

• How has the digitization of currency impacted the way criminals launder money?
• Is there a future where crypto can be crime-free?
• What role does social media play for bad actors?
• Should technology companies be held accountable for how money launderers use them?

Rinsed is available for preorder and will be published on June 13, 2024. To take the AML and compliance programs in your organization to the next level, be sure to check out our website and get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
