He was a banking lawyer turned money launderer … and with the help of corrupt government officials, he was able to hide his clients’ drug money in the Caribbean.

Then he got caught and spent time in prison.

Now a compliance officer in Miami and author of The Laundry Man, Kenneth Rijock speaks to 18º North’s Damario Patterson about his former life of crime, and why money laundering is able to “flourish” in the Caribbean.

He also explains why money laundering is so difficult to investigate and imparts his first important lesson in laundering – “that some of the biggest professionals in the world could be involved in it.”
