How a new generation of money launderers are plundering the world and why we need to stop them

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.

Industry Reviews

An eye-popping global safari through the twilight zone of modern organised crime. Grippingly told and meticulously researched, at different times both hilarious and horrifying, Rinsed is a triumph — Miles Johnson, author of Chasing Shadows: A True Story of Drugs, War and the Secret World of International Crime

This is a gripping and surprising true-crime drama without - so far - a happy ending — Professor Sir David Omand, King’’s College London and former Director of GCHQ

A gripping book that pits fiendishly clever crime bosses and their stomach-churning schemes, against ingenious detectives who painstakingly unravel a whole new frontier of crime . . . Rinsed is as twisty, colourful and terrifyingly eye-opening as the people White investigates. You'll never look at wealth, technology and crime in the same way — Cara McGoogan, author of The Poison Line, and host of award-winning podcast Bed of Lies

A globe-trotting investigation into the dark world of high-tech money laundering . . . A gripping look at the battle between cops and criminals on the new frontier of financial crime — Bradley Hope, co-author of Billion Dollar Whale and author of The Rebel and the Kingdom

Rinsed is a story about powerful, amoral systems and how they can be used or misused. It’s also a warning of what might happen should nations turn their hands to all-out cyber war. — Jonathan Ford, Financial Times

An essential guide to modern finance and crime. Geoff White has the gifts of a novelist and an historian too. I read the book in one day. Read it! — Bookmunch
