How to Launder Money - A guide for law enforcement prosecutors and policymakers

George Cottrell, Lawrence Burke Files

Sinopse

Money laundering is as old as money itself – and yet the laws designed to prevent it are as ineffective as they ever have been.
Today's anti-money laundering (AML) regulations were designed to eliminate profits from drug trafficking and combat tax evasion, terrorism and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. However, the modern laws have done little to stop crime and have instead significantly increased the regulatory burden on legitimate businesses and consumers. As one banker at an AML conference quipped, 'This does not stop money laundering; it just enables those in the know to charge more.'
Indeed, AML laws have laid the foundations for massive and sophisticated criminal enterprise support services that help criminals evade detection.
How to Launder Money: A guide for law enforcement, prosecutors and policymakers offers a peek behind the veil to see the bent levers of finance and how they are pulled. It also examines how many who have pulled them, including one of the authors, have ended up behind bars. While acknowledging the challenges faced by law enforcement in a borderless world, it also provides concrete recommendations on how to reduce the crime associated with money laundering.
The criminals already know how to launder money; this is, in part, their inside story. This book is for the rest of us, who want to know how the laws that are supposed to protect us from crime are in reality doing more damage than ever before.

Starry Field - A Memoir of Lost...

Margaret Juhae Lee

As a young girl growing up in Houston, Margaret Juhae Lee never heard about her grandfather, Lee Chul Ha. His history was lost in early twentieth-century Korea, and guarded by Margaret's grandmother, who Chul Ha left widowed in 1936 with two young sons. To his surviving family, Lee Chul Ha was a criminal, and his granddaughter was determined to figure out why. 
 
 
 
Starry Field chronicles Chul Ha's untold story. Combining investigative journalism, oral history, and archival research, Margaret reveals the truth about the grandfather she never knew. What she found is that Lee Chul Ha was not a source of shame; he was a student revolutionary imprisoned in 1929 for protesting the Japanese government's colonization of Korea. He was a hero—and eventually honored as a Patriot of South Korea almost 60 years after his death. It is through the series of three interviews with her grandmother that Margaret finally finds a sense of recognition she's been missing. A story of healing old wounds and the reputation of an extraordinary young man, Starry Field bridges the tales of two women. 
 
 
 
Starry Field weaves together the stories of Margaret's family against the backdrop of Korea's tumultuous modern history, with a powerful question at its heart. Can we ever separate ourselves from our family's past—and if the answer is yes, should we?

Thomas Jefferson - A Biography...

Joseph Green

THOMAS JEFFERSON 
Thomas Jefferson was there in the thick of it all, right when the Revolution was brewing and after. While not all of his ideas and beliefs were perfect, he had a beautiful dream of democracy that proposed a break from tyranny, freedom, and strengthened the power of the common man. 
The purpose of this book is to outline and describe the life and times of Thomas Jefferson, one of our most famous founding fathers. Not only does it discuss his prelude to the presidency and his time in office, but it digs deeper than that. It also focuses on his experience with the law, how that led him to the political world, and how his presidency and life afterwards helped create for him a legacy of fighting for freedom. It also details his quiet life after the presidency and how he still kept up his pursuit of knowledge even though he had removed himself from public life.

Muggsy - My Life from a Kid in...

Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, Jake Uitti

Growing up, Muggsy Bogues was always told he should do something else, anything besides basketball. He never acknowledged his many doubters except to prove them spectacularly wrong. Twenty years after receiving his first basketball as a toddler, he stood proud—at five-foot-three—as the starting point guard for the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. From the East Baltimore playground courts where he earned his nickname by muggin' opponents for possession of the ball to Dunbar High School where he excelled alongside future NBA players, Bogues set the tone in his early years for the great heights he'd reach professionally. In this new autobiography, Bogues delves deep into his life and career, reflecting on legendary battles with Michael Jordan, John Stockton, and other generational stars of ’80s and ’90s hoops. He shares far-ranging anecdotes from playoff runs in Charlotte, filming Space Jam, and even watching a young Steph Curry grow up. Conversational and clear-sighted, this is a story of uncompromising vision and fleet-footed determination during a golden era for the NBA.
