THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Money laundering is as old as money itself – and yet the laws designed to prevent it are as ineffective as they have ever been.
Today’s anti-money laundering laws stop only a staggering 0.05 per cent of global illicit financial flows, while significantly increasing the regulatory burden on legitimate businesses and consumers. Fraudsters and criminals stay several steps ahead of regulators, while it often costs governments more to execute forfeitures than they reap from them. In short, it’s abundantly clear that these laws, though set up with the best of intentions, are not working.
Billions move around the world in cash, gold and other assets every day without a trace. How to Launder Money explains how and why, breaking down in delicious detail the mechanics of money laundering – not to enable wrongdoing but to illuminate it, to showcase the bent levers of finance and how they are pulled. While acknowledging the challenges faced by law enforcement, it also provides concrete recommendations on how to reduce the crime associated with money laundering, empowering readers, professionals and policymakers to recognise vulnerabilities and understand what truly works in the fight against financial crime.
The criminals already know how to launder money; this is, in part, their inside story. This book is for the rest of us, who want to know how the laws that are supposed to protect us are in reality doing more damage than ever before.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
