Why this book is needed, and why it is needed now.
The history of crime is pretty much the history of trade.
And so the possession, custody or control of the funds generated from those crimes is - and here the term is correct - money laundering.
But money laundering is an offence that is derived from criminal conduct. Yes, it is a crime in its own right but it exists only because other, predicate, crime has been successful.
So, while the world concentrates on money laundering, it has for many years lost sight of the crime that underpins it.
It is ironic that when counter-money laundering laws based on suspicious activity were first introduced one of the main objectives that regulated businesses were supposed to do was to conduct training and awareness schemes for the people in the business. It is material that these two things were separated.
Today, there is a vast amount of training but there is remarkably little attention paid to awareness.
Today, there is great attention paid to financial transactions but very little to know your customer beyond fairly rudimentary identification. We lost the connection to KYC when it was rebranded customer due diligence although recently there has been a fightback in some businesses. But not in banks that close branches, centralise certain types of accounts, have only online or telephone banking - and, of course, fintechs that only do that.
KYC is outside the scope of this book. It's about predicate crime - identifying criminal conduct in trade, describing the opportunities to commit crime i.e. to generate the benefits, be they money, assets or any other thing, corporeal or incorporeal, that arise.
To concentrate on money laundering is to look at the issues ex post facto. That is why we are seeing efforts, albeit ham-fisted, in most cases, to create regimes to prevent fraud, bribery and other financial crimes. It's taken a while but the pendulum has begun to swing back and attention is now being paid to the underlying criminal conduct.
