IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY MONEY LAUNDERING IN REAL-TIME, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT'S INSIDE THE LAUNDRYMAN'S TOOLBOX

I have been teaching money laundering tradecraft for a long time; before 9/11, it was exclusively to law enforcement and the intelligence community, who were the only ones with serious interest in the subject. Since the USA PATRIOT Act, it has been the private sector, principally compliance officers. What I have observed is that without I call Money Laundering Literacy, a thorough knowledge of not only advanced techniques, but the exotic, esoteric and unusual methods in current use, compliance officers are at a distinct disadvantage with their adversaries, and often miss transactions that they should have caught; Allow me to explain why.

What must first be understood is that money laundering, as a craft, is all about Pure Imagination, the ability to create new technologies out of the framework of existing techniques. Laundrymen often actively brainstorm, building new methods never seen before, by taking an effective technique they are familiar with, and tweaking or modifying it, adapting it to new conditions, a new industry, or a new geographic area not known for laundering, ending up with something that compliance officers will only recognize if they are familiar with the original model, that obscure technique used in the past, and but now fading into obscurity, through disuse.

My point is simple; if you aren't sufficiently literate with Money laundering tradecraft, in all its forms, you will never see the new permutation. That is why I have created a three-part program on Advanced Tradecraft, which surveys the obscure and unusual tricks of the trade that laundrymen have used in the past, and continue to employ today. If you don't have Money Laundering Literacy, they will beat you every time. I invite you attend my three-part program, if you are serious about acquiring the ability to catch the laundrymen in the act; The link is:
