Re-Spin: How technology became a money laundering machine!

About this episode

The episode discusses the intersection of technology and money laundering, featuring insights from investigative journalist Geoff White.

Strise is developing next-generation technology to help financial crime teams stay one step ahead of criminals. The reason is simple: bad actors are using the technology already out there with great success. In this re-spin (originally published in May 2024), we break down the complex relationship between money laundering and organised crime—and how technology acts as the "rocket booster" driving it all. Our expert host, Marit Rødevand  is joined by investigative journalist and author, Geoff White , to discuss his book, Rinsed : From Cartels to Crypto – How the Tech Industry Washes Money for the World’s Deadliest Crooks . They discuss: Geoff's work in finding stories of criminals exploiting tech's weaknesses, what stories of massive financial crime tell us about the state of technology, and what the future looks like as the two become more entwined.
