Sinopse

Absurd Legal Cases explores the strange side of law, showcasing instances where reality seems stranger than fiction. It delves into cases featuring preposterous claims and the creative use—or misuse—of legal loopholes, revealing how these unusual scenarios stress-test the judicial system. The book highlights the often-unseen theater of the courtroom, demonstrating how legal interpretations and societal contexts shape litigation, even in the most bizarre battles.

 
The book examines how legal precedents are established and societal shifts influence legal interpretations. For example, cases involving tort law often reveal unexpected applications of legal theory. By presenting court documents, transcripts, and news reports, the book adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, making these unusual cases accessible and engaging.

 
Beginning with an introduction to absurdity in a legal context, the book progresses through lawsuits based on improbable claims, instances of exploited legal loopholes, and cases shaped by politics and social pressures. This approach demonstrates how these cases reflect broader societal values and biases, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in true crime, political science, or the intricacies of the legal system.

    From the 1910 disappearance of New York heiress Dorothy Arnold to the 1977 vanishing of teenager Simone Ridinger, author Brunelle details both famous and lesser-known cases that remain unsolved. Board a luxury liner with Agnes Tufverson as she embarks on a European honeymoon before her mysterious 1933 disappearance over the Atlantic; follow Jean Spangler to a famous 1940s Hollywood nightclub as she arrives for a clandestine meeting in a private booth. 
     
     
     
    Due to a strong belief that good girls didn't disappear, when authorities and family members were presented with missing women in the twentieth century, it was often assumed that they had simply ran away. Most investigations were funded by family members, and when women were found to be the victims of violent crime, they were faulted for placing themselves in dangerous situations. On the rare occasions when authorities investigated cases, they relied on interviews and cash trails in combination with rudimentary forensics such as blood typing and fingerprinting to find missing persons. For those reasons, many of the real stories from this time period have yet to be told. Featuring never-before-seen letters and documents, personal interviews, and genealogical research, alongside captivating storytelling, Brunelle delves deep into the lives of those who disappeared and the circumstances surrounding their cases.

    How the Aussie economy got hooked on the world's dirtiest cash. 
      
    Longlisted for a 2022 Walkley Award and earning the author the 2022 Financial Crime Fighter Award. 
    In today's ruthless world of organised crime, the best criminals aren't foolish enough to steal money out of banks. They wear tailored suits, carry briefcases, and discreetly slip money into banks.  
    Bigwigs, oligarchs and crime syndicates running drugs, trafficking guns and people, arming terrorists and subverting government controls are desperate to put a legitimate face on their wealth. Washing dirty money, moving it around the globe, making it look legitimate is where the action is for both criminals and the authorities chasing them. 
    Australia is awash with dirty money. It flows through our economy, keeps banks running, powers big business, puts coffee on restaurant tables, seeps into clubs, pubs, sport, the art world and anywhere that value is moved. It infiltrates real estate, costs billions in policing, and takes a terrible toll on Australian lives. What law enforcement agencies might lack in legislation and political will they make up for with sheer resourcefulness. When they can't get at the masterminds and bigwigs, they have honed tactics that intercept the flow of illicit cash and aim to drive a wedge between crooks and their ill-gotten wealth. 
    In The Lucky Laundry, financial crime expert Nathan Lynch delves deep inside this hidden world to explain how dark money has infected the lives of ordinary people - and tainted Australian democracy. He opens the curtain on the hidden world of financial intelligence, where crooks and spooks play a cat-and-mouse game inside the world's black money markets. 
    Enter the realm of the agents and undercover operatives who defend our democracy against the corrosive force of billions of dirty dollars.
