We're delighted to welcome back author Geoff White who will be talking to us about his latest book. From billion-dollar cyber heists to global financial crime rings and crypto-gangsters, Geoff has covered it all.
Geoff's next book Rinsed which will be released on 13 June 2024 will reveal technology’s impact on the world of money laundering. It springs from his work on the hit podcast and book The Lazarus Heist, which explored North Korea’s computer hacking campaign. Rinsed reveals how organized crooks have joined forces with the world’s most sophisticated cybercriminals. The result: a vast virtual money-laundering machine too intelligent for most authorities to crack. Through a series of jaw-dropping cases and interviews with insiders at all levels of the system, Geoff White shows how thieves are uniting to successfully get away with the most atrocious crimes on an unprecedented scale. The book follows money from the outrageous luxury of Dubai hotels to sleepy backwaters of coastal Ireland, from the backstreets of Nigeria to the secretive zones of North Korea, to investigate this new cyber supercartel. Through first-hand accounts from the victims of their devastating crimes, White uncovers the extraordinary true story of hi-tech laundering – and exposes its terrible human cost.
