About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

There's an old saying: 'a rising tide lifts all boats'. It's normally couched in positive terms; that overall economic improvement will benefit everyone. In the case of hi-tech money laundering, however, it offers a dark vision of the future. The better these launderers become at their work, the more crime of all types will be enabled. It's time to understand where the water is rising, before it washes over us all.

Money laundering has been around for centuries. For as long as people have been willing to steal money, there's been an industry ready to wash it. But recent tech innovations have created vastly complex new systems for laundering that threaten to overwhelm authorities, destabilise economies and disrupt societies.

Rinsed is a relevatory investigation into the new army of innovative criminals using tech to launder money, and the consequences for all of us.

'Rinsed is a triumph. If you want to understand how the chaotic world around us really works, read this book!’ MILES JOHNSON, AUTHOR OF CHASING SHADOWS

'A riveting look at not only the nuts and bolts of cons and crimes but the techniques detectives use to stalk cyber criminals' FINANCIAL TIMES

Critic Reviews

An eye-popping global safari through the twilight zone of modern organised crime. Grippingly told and meticulously researched, at different times both hilarious and horrifying, Rinsed is a triumph (Miles Johnson)
This is a gripping and surprising true-crime drama without - so far - a happy ending (Professor Sir David Omand)
A gripping book that pits fiendishly clever crime bosses and their stomach-churning schemes, against ingenious detectives who painstakingly unravel a whole new frontier of crime . . . Rinsed is as twisty, colourful and terrifyingly eye-opening as the people White investigates. You'll never look at wealth, technology and crime in the same way (Cara McGoogan)
A globe-trotting investigation into the dark world of high-tech money laundering . . . A gripping look at the battle between cops and criminals on the new frontier of financial crime (Bradley Hope)
Rinsed is a story about powerful, amoral systems and how they can be used or misused. It’s also a warning of what might happen should nations turn their hands to all-out cyber war. (Jonathan Ford)
An essential guide to modern finance and crime. Geoff White has the gifts of a novelist and an historian too. I read the book in one day. Read it!

Great book. Really insightful and told in a really engaging storytelling style. There are so many aspects to the way the world is interconnected and evolving with financial gain at the centre of it. This book provides the insight into how that impacts us.

This is a great read (or listen). Geoff White takes an inside look at technology-enabled organised crime, money laundering and the world of cryptocurrency. A thoroughly researched book that clearly explains some complex and sometimes dark topics. Rinsed is well paced and the audio presentation is engaging. Highly recommended.

A great read and highly recommended.

Its clearly a good story, and I want to read this book but they need a different narrator. Nothing wrong with having a lisp, its natural. Sadly, its not what you want in a narrator. It kept taking my attention away from the content. Just had to return the book half way, it bothered me too much

A good author who shouldn't be a narrator
