In this episode, we speak with Graham Barrow, financial crime investigator and co-host of The Dark Money Files podcast, about the global fight against dirty money and the unexpected path that led him there.
Graham shares how a chance training contract catapulted him into the world of financial crime, taking him from crash courses in compliance to high-risk assignments in Mexico and Istanbul, where cartel cash and terrorism risks were all too real.
We explore how his investigative writing helped uncover multi-billion-dollar scandals and how he uses storytelling, humour, and human impact to bring financial crime to life.
With practical insights on scams, fraud prevention, and the dark underbelly of the global financial system, this episode is a must-listen for anyone working in compliance, or simply wondering where the money goes when no one’s watching.
