SUMMARY:Oliver Bullough
DESCRIPTION:Oliver Bullough\nEverybody Loves Our Dollars\nHow Money Laundering Won\nwith Gerry Foley \nThis thrilling and wildly entertaining exposé of the dark financial secrets at the heart of the world economy explains how money-laundering works. In the criminal world\, cash is still king. Barter is pretty good too and crypto currencies flow through paper ledgers. \nWhether you’re a fraudster\, a cartel boss\, a corrupt politician\, a kleptocrat or a terrorist mastermind\, your options to move and hide your money are more secure than they have ever been. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. \nOliver Bullough is a leading investigative journalist who writes regularly for the Guardian\, the New York Times and GQ. His Butler to the World was a Sunday Times bestseller. \nAnne Applebaum says Bullough is ‘one of the few people who not only understands the convoluted world of money-laundering but also is able to explain it in clear and elegant prose.’ \nTickets go on sale 15 August for priority booking and 22 August for general sale
