The Laundry is a podcast about financial crime and what it does in the real world.

They read the headlines the way a compliance team would and follow money laundering and terrorist financing through to the people and institutions it affects.
For anyone working in AML, sanctions or risk, and anyone curious about how dirty money moves.

Compliance professionals want one thing: to pore over the details of hefty AML fines and work out what went wrong.
It’s not just about gloating (really!). It’s also about learning, so you don’t make the same mistake.
So do big fines change anything, or are they just a cost of doing business?
Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined again by Strise’s Fincrime Domain Lead, Asia Holt, to ask: what’s the gossip on the latest AML fines?
The pair discuss: Bank of America’s $1.21 billion fine, The Star Casino in Australia, an unnamed foreign bank branch in the UAE, and the lack of fines in the UK.

INTERPOL has just launched a public campaign warning that “AI is erasing the tell-tale signs of a scam.”
Deepfakes now turn up at both ends of a laundering operation. They trick victims into sending money, and they open the accounts that move it on.
We’ve come a long way from badly spelt phishing emails from a Nigerian prince.
Our expert host, Fredrik Riiser, is joined by Sandy Kronenberg, Founder & CEO at Netarx, to reveal: how deep fakes are used in money laundering.
The pair discuss: how deepfakes steal the money, open the accounts and supply the mules, how identity documents are fake, and whether we’re heading back to the bank branch to open accounts.

In 2018, emails leaked by a Portuguese hacker began exposing the inner workings of Europe’s biggest football clubs. Manchester City was one of them.
The fallout is still one of the biggest stories in sport. It isn’t a money-laundering case, but anyone in compliance will spot the red flag straight away: the leaks suggested the company named on the sponsorship contract wasn’t the one paying.
From July 2029, professional football clubs and agents in the EU will come under AML supervision.
Our expert host, Fredrik Riiser, is joined by Carlo Boffa, EU Correspondent at AML Intelligence, and Isabel Lemes, Co-Founder of Lagom Sports Compliance, to ask: Is football ready for the AML rulebook?
The panel discuss: why dirty money keeps finding its way into football, what the new rules ask of a club, and whether anyone will be ready in time.

What’s the key skill in fighting financial crime? Most people would say a head for data, spreadsheets and analytics.
But maybe it’s walking past a florist that’s open at midnight and wondering: who’s buying roses at this hour?
We put that kind of thinking to the test on the streets of Oslo, looking at how the world around us can be used to launder money.
Robin Lycka is joined by Asia Holt, Fincrime Domain Lead at Strise, for a money laundering walking tour.
They discuss the tourism industry, car washes, and the financial system it all ends up in.

Recorded on stage at the International Anti-Financial Crime Summit in London.
Are criminals better at collaborating than we are?
If there’s one thing this industry loves, it’s the promise of a silver bullet – the thing that stops financial crime in its tracks. And the one that keeps getting proposed is information sharing: public with private, private with private, and every arrangement in between.
So is it still worth believing in?
Marit Rødevand is joined by Kathryn Westmore, Director of Financial Crime at UK Finance, Kevin Newe, Illicit Finance Threats Lead at HMRC, and Matt Donahue, CEO and Co-Founder of Kodex.
The panel discuss why information sharing hasn’t always worked, what we’d build differently if we started from scratch, and what stops us being as creative as the criminal networks we’re chasing.

Donald Trump in 2025: "I'm a big crypto fan. I've been that from the beginning."
Donald Trump in 2019: "I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air."
What changed? Whatever the answer, Trump is only the highest-profile example of a growing trend.
Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Peter Geoghegan, Director of Democracy for Sale, to ask: "how dangerous is crypto's hold on politics?"
They discuss how crypto money is reshaping politics, what makes it such an effective tool of influence, and what comes next for AML enforcement.

$190,000 of trading cards stolen in Tokyo with a hammer. One card sold at auction for $16.5 million.
Somewhere between those two facts is the reason a children's card game became one of the most portable stores of value on the planet.
We're talking about Pokémon: the Japanese phenomenon that has hooked generations of collectors. The game that told children to "Catch 'Em All" now has a much darker following.
Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Paolo Aprile, Founder of DM Dirty Money, and Nick Jarman, Founder & CEO of Certified Trading Card Association, to ask: "Are Pokémon Cards fincrime’s hottest new toy?"
The panel discuss: how a simple, fun card game turned into something else entirely, and what happens when a whole market sits outside every AML rulebook on earth.

Last November in the UK, more than 2,000 vape shops, mini marts and candy stores were raided in a National Crime Agency (NCA) operation – with £11 million in cash seized.
But despite the raids, 'hubs of polycriminality' persist on the high street. Solving it means following the money.
Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Sal Melki, Deputy Director of Illicit Finance at National Crime Agency, to ask: "How did vape shops become the frontline of money laundering?"
The pair discuss: how high street stores became fronts for criminality, how that feeds into financial crime, and how to fight back.

We talk a lot about the dark money that makes the criminal world turn — but what about the money paid to the people fighting it?
For all the responsibility, the stress, the expertise, and the constant need to adapt, compliance professionals are right to ask whether they're being paid what they're worth.
Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Quentin Downes, Divisional Director of Financial Crime, Compliance & Risk at Butler Rose, and Rebecca Robinson, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Tenora, to ask: "Are fincrime professionals paid enough?"
The panel discuss what the market really pays right now, why so many roles feel stuck, training the next generation, and whether AI is about to rewrite salaries and job roles altogether.

70% of us have already let AI loose on our day-to-day tasks — summarising documents, knocking out images, the usual.
Turning it loose on a financial crime investigation is a different question entirely.
Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Asia Holt, Fincrime Domain Lead at Strise, to put it to the test: can we train AI to think like a fincrime investigator?
They build an AI investigator from scratch, run it against a real case, and find out exactly where the limit of its effectiveness lies!

In August 2026, FinCEN made it official: US companies no longer have to disclose who actually owns them.
Five years after the Corporate Transparency Act was signed into law as America's "toughest anti-corruption tool in a generation", the federal registry behind it is being switched off — and the data already collected is being deleted.
Our expert host. Robin Lycka, is joined by Erica Hanichak, Co-Director of the FACT Coalition, to ask: is this the end of beneficial ownership data?
They discuss: the government decision that will wipe 16 million reports, why it was taken, and its long-term consequences.

You've seen the stories: a big company makes staff redundant, replaces them with a shiny AI feature, then quietly hires them back once it all goes wrong.
Why does this keep happening? Swapping human expertise for AI is never a straight substitution – especially in financial crime.
Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Craig McLeod, Partner in Financial Crime & Risk Consulting at EY, to discuss: How do we put the "human" back into AI processes in fincrime?
The pair discuss: the current issues with AI implementation, where the human element is essential, and how we 'course correct' for the future.

MLROs are vital to financial services - a crucial link between companies, the risks they face, and the authorities.
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority have previously sent a warning to hundreds of companies who had burned through three or more MLROs in just three years. So, what does this tell us about the pressures of this role?
In this episode – originally published in 2024 – Marit Rødevand is joined by Adam Vilaça to discuss: "How do we stop MLRO burnout?"
They discuss: the problems with the MLRO role today, how to stop the ‘revolving door’ situation, and comments from The Laundry community.

The Wirecard scandal has become the stuff of legend.
A German payments company, worth tens of billions of euros, collapsed following the exposure of massive accounting fraud and financial misconduct. It sent shockwaves across the financial industry and to the very top of the German government.
But none of it would have been possible without the actions of a whistleblower.
In this episode – originally published in 2024 – Marit Rødevand is joined by Pav Gill, Founder & CEO of Confide, to ask: Did Wirecard's collapse shape the future of whistleblowing?
The pair discuss: Pav's journey from whistleblower to founder, the hidden impact of calling out wrongdoing, and how whistleblowing will look going forward.

The illegal wildlife trade is the fourth-biggest criminal market on the planet — behind only narcotics, counterfeiting, and human trafficking. And like any criminal trade of that scale, there's a hugely sophisticated network behind it, moving billions.
This week's episode was recorded in the media room at the United for Wildlife Business Forum in London, set up by the Royal Foundation.
Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Esteban Castaño, CEO and Co-Founder of TRM Labs, and Tricia Raxter, Director of Intelligence & Analysis at United for Wildlife, to ask: can following the money disrupt the illegal wildlife trade?

According to Money20/20, the EMEA region accounts for 48% of the world's outbound cross-border payment flows — just under half!
Now put yourself in the position of assessing those billions of transactions, moving at incredible speed, for financial crime risks and suspicious patterns. Sounds like a headache, right?

What do you think is keeping anti-financial crime professionals up at night?
According to Nasdaq Verafin's latest Global Financial Crime Report, there's something more pressing than deepfakes or even AMLA.
It's money launderers growing up, graduating, and acting more like Fortune 500 companies than criminals.
Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Kamlesh Harry, Principal Strategic Advisor of Fraud Solutions at Nasdaq Verafin, to ask: how do we combat the professionalisation of money laundering?
The pair discuss: what these money laundering networks actually look like, the human cost underneath the corporate language, and how we fight back with collective intelligence, AI, and FRAML.

Coming to you from Insight Denmark's recent 'Compliance & Legal in the financial sector' conference in Copenhagen!
In the 1984 film Terminator, the T-800 is a threat — a machine sent from the future to destroy us.
By the 1991 sequel, the exact same model has been reprogrammed and is now humanity's last line of defence.
Is this how we should be looking at technology and financial crime? A threat we can reprogramme to work with us — rather than against us?
Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Louise Buchter, AML Expert, and Cecilie Bøttger, Head of Compliance at Kompasbank, to ask: how do we turn technology against financial crime?
The panel discuss how technology is the biggest threat in compliance, how it can also save us, and what the industry needs to do to embrace the change.
