Recently PrivateInvest held a panel evening event with Nathan Lynch. Nathan is described as a financial crime expert, international speaker and author of the “Lucky Laundry: How the Aussie economy got hooked on the world’s dirtiest cash”, published by Harper Collins.

Nathan specialises in the fields of Financial Crime Intelligence, Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Terrorism Financing and Regulatory Risk. Nathan leads a team of experts who provide breaking news, deep analysis and practical guidance to more than 25,000 subscribers in the global financial services sector. He manages Thomson Reuters’ award-winning Regulatory Intelligence team across the Asia-Pacific region, tracking developments in financial services law, AML/CTF and risk management.

Nathan has trained police, government officials and bankers across Asia and the Middle East on the techniques the world’s criminals use to conceal and clean their dirty money. He is certified by the US Department of Justice’s elite CCIPS Cybercrime Laboratory as a “Digital Forensic Incident Response Specialist”. He is a program expert with the Asian Development Bank and the US-based Financial Services Volunteer Corps, which support developing countries in their fight against serious and organised financial crime.

The evening was a fascinating insight into investigative journalism as Nathan peeled back the layers of complex financial crime schemes and made them accessible to a ‘layman’ audience. He took the audience through ingenious techniques the world’s criminals use to amass, conceal and clean their illicit wealth. He covered the most notorious international wash-houses, where proceeds of crime weave their way to the sunny shores of Australia.

Nathan was also featured on Australia’s ABC 4 Corners programme on the Perth Mint on gold doping and money laundering.

The full interview will be released midApril on the PrivateInvest Insights YouTube channel. Not to be missed.
