The basics of finding illegal proceeds, tracing it, linking it to the criminal, and then seizing it are at the core of this book. This third edition has been updated to reflect recent important court decisions, changes in federal law relating to money laundering, and trends in crime and terrorism financing. A chapter on money laundering in connection with major frauds uses the Bernie Madoff and Allen Stanford cases, among others, as examples. It also covers terrorism financing, financial intelligence, and the filing of Suspicious Activity Reports by financial institutions. Over 150 figures, photos, charts and graphs make this new edition essential reading for financial investigators.
