Bombs are dropping on Iran, and we’ve seen the death of the Supreme Leader, counter-strikes across the region, global supply lanes in crisis, and spiraling oil prices.

Despite all the fire and the fury, one thing you can count on is that dark money never stops moving.

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Josh Birenbaum, Deputy Director of the Center on Economic and Financial Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to ask: What happens to Iran’s shadow banking network now?

The pair discuss the anatomy of a shadow banking network, how Iran’s network was built through global pressure, and how valuable that network is in a time of open warfare.

The team is on their annual "KY-Ski" trip, located in a cosy cabin in the Norwegian mountains.

But denting this "koselig" image is a slew of scandals linked to the release of the Epstein Files, which is making Norway rethink its image as one of the least corrupt countries in the world.

Politically exposed persons, undeclared gifts, loans, luxury holidays, Greek villas, the Nobel Peace Prize, the Oslo Accord, and the world's most notorious email leak.

Our expert hosts, Marit Rødevand and Robin Lycka, are asking: Is Norway too cosy to fight corruption?

The pair discuss: recent scandals rocking the nation, how praise from international organisations can hide some ugly truths, and—if we’re building a compliance framework for government and politics—what do we need to see?

On March 18th, Norway’s leading AML and compliance teams —Strise and Signicat—are coming together at SALT, Oslo for: The Laundry Live: Fincrime at Boiling Point!

What will the AML team of the future look like? We’ll explore how AI is rewriting the rulebook and how we can gear up to stay one step ahead in an ever-shifting global financial landscape.

Agenda for the Evening:

• Keynote with Thomas Seltzer: AI development is moving at breakneck speed. Finding it hard to keep up? We’re taking a deep dive: Is this a benevolent "Giga-brain" for the good of society, or a destructive "Death Star"?

• Live Recording of The Laundry Podcast: We’ve invited some of the sharpest, most outspoken voices to join an expert panel on how the industry is handling mounting global pressure. Panellists include: Eirik Furuseth, Gøran Skaalmo, Kristin Nordland Brattli, and Thomas Osinga,

We’ll also be serving pizza and drinks throughout the night.

Plus, get an exclusive first look at the next generation of AML tools from Strise and Signicat. What will the future workspace look like? And what role will intelligent agents play in our daily workflows?

Admission is free, but because we’re hosting this at SALT, space is limited.

We would love to see you there!

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.

Everyone is talking about Moltbook, the social network exclusively for AI agents built using OpenClaw.

But they aren't just chatting —they’re executing tasks, making decisions, and potentially plotting.

If these agents are running their own social networks, could they be prompted to orchestrate global fraud, money laundering, and sanctions evasion?

Our expert hosts, Marit Rødevand and Robin Lycka, sit down to ask: does an AI Agent social network spell financial crime disaster?

The pair discuss: why Moltbook and OpenClaw should have your attention, the potential uses for financial criminals and compliance professionals, and Robin's attempts to build a shady shark network that’s up to no good!
