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.

'Rinsed is a triumph. If you want to understand how the chaotic world around us really works, read this book!’ MILES JOHNSON, AUTHOR OF CHASING SHADOWS

'A riveting look at not only the nuts and bolts of cons and crimes but the techniques detectives use to stalk cyber criminals' FINANCIAL TIMES

Reseñas de la Crítica

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)

This is a gripping and surprising true-crime drama without - so far - a happy ending (Professor Sir David Omand)

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)

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)

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)

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!

Gripping

Engrossing, mind-blowing

A great listen!

Phenomenal storytelling. Geoff's voice is engaging and his passion for the material is evident in that. I love listening to books read by the author. I've also read countless books on these subjects, including Geoff's Lazarus Heist, and Andy Greenbergs's Tracers in the Dark, and still found the material to be new and engaging. Enjoy!

Excellent variety and topical stories

I really loved this book. I wanted to contribute to the review statistics because it’s a great book. Similar to fat Leonard. It’s has been great keeping me entertained while doing landscaping all day.

Fascinating stories

The stories were well written with just enough detail and the book was nicely narrated

Details about everything

Everything is good for the person who is technically knowledgeable but for non technical people need more explanation.

Great read!

Well written and entertaining. Only issue is quite baffling as the reader has a speech impediment (R) which made it difficult to get into the book. How does that happen???
