There's an old saying: 'a rising tide lifts all boats'. It's normally couched in positive terms; that overall economic improvement will benefit everyone. In the case of hi-tech money laundering, however, it offers a dark vision of the future. The better these launderers become at their work, the more crime of all types will be enabled. It's time to understand where the water is rising, before it washes over us all.
Money laundering has been around for centuries. For as long as people have been willing to steal money, there's been an industry ready to wash it. But recent tech innovations have created vastly complex new systems for laundering that threaten to overwhelm authorities, destabilise economies and disrupt societies.
Rinsed is a relevatory investigation into the new army of innovative criminals using tech to launder money, and the consequences for all of us.

A very important book
It's one of the best books I’ve read this year. I love the author's writing; he is very engaging as a narrator. The history of money laundering is fascinating. My only criticism is that it’s focused a lot on the impacts of money laundering, at the expense of providing more examples of different methods and mechanics of the act itself. The Darknet Diaries podcast covered much of the same material as this book, but I still have many questions about what could have been done to catch these people earlier. For example, I would have loved more detail on unique forms of money laundering, like the brief CSGO skin market section. Anyway, thank you so much for the amazing book. Please, nobody use this as a guide, lol
