    What FATF will find in FinCrime Britain

    With the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) preparing toassess the UK again, Lindsey and Rachel examine whether the recent flurry of announcements and reforms amount to meaningful progress or political window-dressing. They explore persistent weaknesses in financial intelligence, beneficial ownership transparency, professional supervision, payment firms, MLRO oversight and whistleblower protection, and taking a look at  whether regulators are doing enough to identify illicit finance and hold its enablers to account.

    Trade Secret, enablers of the illicit trade in polar bears

    In this episode, founding editors Rachel Wolcott and Lindsey Rogerson sit down with Adam Cruise, a South African investigative journalist whose work exposes realities of wildlife trade and conservation policy. Adam shares insights from the acclaimed documentary Trade Secret, which uncovers how legal wildlife trade often fuels illegal trafficking, with devastating consequences for species like polar bears, lions, and rhinos. The conversation explores the complex web of international agreements, including CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), and the troubling role of euphemistic language such as “sustainable utilization” and “conservation hunting.” Adam reveals how these policies, supported by influential NGOs, blur the lines between protection and exploitation, creating loopholes that organized crime syndicates exploit. Listeners will also learn about the financial crime dimension—how wildlife trafficking intersects with money laundering and poly-criminal networks—and what red flags compliance professionals should watch for. From shocking scenes in Canadian and Norwegian warehouses to the global demand for exotic pets, this episode challenges assumptions about conservation.
