Course Overview:

This isn’t a textbook course. It’s a guided walk through the real machinery of money laundering, taught by someone who’s spent nearly two decades operating undercover as a launderer. You’ll see how illicit funds actually move through the system, from street-level cash placement and smurfing to complex trust structures, crypto obfuscation, and offshore layering.

You’ll learn how criminals think, how professional enablers facilitate operations, and how legitimate systems are exploited by both witting and unwitting insiders.

Built for law enforcement, analysts, and financial crime professionals, this course goes beyond compliance checklists and into operational reality, focusing on what works, what doesn’t, and how to recognize the fingerprints of laundering in any case.

Each session combines field experience, real case examples, and intelligence methodology to help you identify patterns, read behavior, and dismantle laundering networks at every level.
