概要

 AML on the move. Money laundering is more prolific than ever. Legislation and AML initiatives continue to respond. But does it make a difference? The Laundromat is an unfiltered deep dive into the shadowy world of money laundering and its far-reaching consequences. From billion-dollar scandals in global banking to cybercriminal networks exploiting digital loopholes, we expose the intricate methods criminals use to clean dirty money. Each episode unpacks real-life cases—some shocking, some audacious—that reveal the hidden connections between financial crime, corruption, and economic instability. But it’s not just about the criminals; we also examine the regulators, the laws, and the ongoing battle to stay ahead of ever-evolving laundering techniques. This podcast is a must-listen for forensic accountants, AML specialists, cybercrime investigators, and anyone curious about the dark side of global finance. We bring in experts to discuss the red flags, failures in AML enforcement, and how AI and blockchain forensics are changing the game. Why does money laundering persist despite intense scrutiny? What are the biggest risks ahead? And most importantly, how does this impact ordinary people? Join us as we pull back the curtain on a world where trillions move in the shadows—because understanding financial crime is the first step to fighting it.Solid Gold Podcasts #BeHeard 社会科学 経済学

    How organised crime professionalised in South Africa | Chad Thomas
    2026/02/25
    In the first 2026 episode of The Laundromat, Dawn Pretorius speaks to veteran investigator Chad Thomas about how organised crime in South Africa has evolved into structured, corporate-style enterprises.

    From a billion-rand international boiler room scam to the use of boutiques, barber shops and churches as laundering vehicles, Chad exposes how criminal networks professionalise and scale. He discusses South Africa’s cash-heavy economy, the misuse of POPIA, “tick-box” compliance culture, and the real impact of the country’s removal from the FATF grey list.

    This episode is a hard look at the financial backbone of organised crime — and why disrupting money flows matters more than ever. Connect with Dawn on LinkedIn · The Shepherds of Inequality · Beyond Play

  • Are we fighting crime or ticking boxes? | Oonagh van den Berg

    Discover what FSIs can do (and should do) but don't do, to fight crime.

    This episode with Oonagh van den Berg of Raw Compliance takes a bold step in re-looking at how we comply with our AML regulatory requirements.

    Oonagh argues that many current control frameworks are not fully fit for purpose as they were designed for a slower financial world and struggle to keep up with instant payments, embedded finance, crypto, and AI-driven fraud. While these frameworks may be technically compliant, they lack operational effectiveness.

    The conversation covers issues of overregulation, data fragmentation, the disconnect between compliance and business operations, and the limitations of Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evaluations.

    Oonagh advocates for a shift from rule-based to data-first, dynamic, and tech-enabled frameworks that can adapt to evolving criminal behaviours. She stresses the importance of compliance officers developing skills in data analytics, technology, and business understanding rather than focusing solely on regulatory knowledge Connect with Dawn on LinkedIn · The Shepherds of Inequality · Beyond Play

  • A lifestyle audit is just a piece of paper. Why bother?

    A lifestyle audit is just a piece of paper. Why bother?
    2025/12/18
    Lifestyle audits are symbolically unsubstantial.

    Lifestyle audits can be extremely valuable, especially considering the high level of crime within the public sector, and South Africa is a notable example.

    Many public departments treat audits as mere self-reporting exercises without verification. There is poor follow-through on findings, a lack of mandatory referral to criminal procedures, complications with offshore assets, and political interference.

    Pretorius concludes that lifestyle audits in South Africa remain largely symbolic rather than substantive, exposing corruption without deterring it. She argues that for lifestyle audits to be effective, they must be backed by law, enforced independently, and result in asset seizure and confiscation.
