    The Laundry Man: Ken Rijock | Designated

    Sometimes it takes a money launderer to catch a money launderer. During the 1980’s, Ken Rijock was starting his career as a lawyer in Miami. But he soon found himself acting as a middleman between Colombian drug cartels and their expanding US network, helping launder illicit funds gathered through flooding cocaine onto America’s streets. By his account, he ended up “cleaning” about $200 million in drug cash. Eventually, Ken was caught, sentenced and served time in prison. However, upon his release, Ken was approached by government agents and made an offer to help their mission becoming an undercover informant. Designated host Yaya Jata Fanusie recently spoke with Ken about his life’s journey and his experiences during the two distinctly opposite phases of his time as The Laundry Man. Working alongside drug dealers during his high-flying, money laundering days.. and the next phase of his life as the anti-money laundering financial crime fighter. Helping law enforcement detect who was trying to launder money and those who were committing the same crimes that Ken knew so well.

    The Financial Intelligence Enforcer: John A. Cassara | Designated

    The textbooks tell us financial intelligence is the process of gathering and analyzing financial activities in an effort to uncover threats or criminal dealings. But financial intelligence is more than just studying bank accounts and online transactions. To make an impact, financial intelligence requires bold, creative action in the real world. Perhaps no one is more suited to offer perspective on financial intelligence than John Cassara. John is a 26-year veteran of the US government’s efforts to take down financial criminals. During his time as a CIA Case Officer and a Treasury Special Agent at both the Secret Service and U.S. Customs Service, John conducted investigations into money laundering, smuggling, terrorist financing, and weapons trafficking throughout Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. He even went undercover as an arms dealer during a two-year detail to the US Customs Service. John recently spoke with Designated host Yaya Jata Fanusie and detailed how he parlayed his field experience as a collector of human intelligence in the CIA into the world of illicit finance investigations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Designated’s Proud Sponsors: K2 Integrity is a global leader in risk management, compliance, investigations, and monitoring, combining the expertise of industry pioneers with interdisciplinary teams and advanced technology to protect our clients’ operations, reputation, and financial security.

    Defending the Whistleblower: Phil Brewster | Designated

    Have you ever met a corporate whistleblower? Most of us haven’t. They do make the subjects of great movies, though. There's intrigue, suspense, and high stakes. And usually a happy ending. But what exactly happens in real life when someone high up in a company, privy to corporate secrets, witnesses illicit dealings in their midst? How does that process play out? And at what cost.. Personally and professionally? Designated host Yaya Jata Finuse recently spoke with Phil Brewster, an attorney whose specialty is helping clients who have decided to become whistleblowers. They discussed the real-life impacts of these high-stress investigations, which most often involve the personal stakes for the whistleblowers that Hollywood can’t fully convey.

    C4ADS- Center for Advanced Defense Studies- is a nonprofit that works to uncover illicit networks that threaten global peace and security through deep-dive investigations and intelligence analysis on data that may be publicly available, but hard to find.

    Designated - Sanctions Warfare in the Next Administration: Juan Zarate

    As with the transition of power for every Presidential administration, agendas are rethought, and priorities realigned. And although America’s global economic and political power is buttressed by the integrity of its markets and sound rule of law, we must still be mindful of evolving methods of economic warfare and continued threats to our national security and economic standing. So what exactly should the incoming Trump administration be focused on and prioritizing? Juan Zarate was the US counterterrorism czar under President George W. Bush, the first Assistant Secretary at the Treasury Department to oversee Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes, and also authored Treasury’s War: The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare. Juan joined Designated host Yaya Jata Fanusie to share his expertise on the risks our adversaries and these massive threats pose to our economic, social, and political lives and how the Trump administration would be best served in addressing them.

    Designated: Special Agent on “The Silk Road” with Jared Der-Yeghiayan

    Beginning in 2011, the Silk Road was the place to go online for any number of illegal drugs and contraband or other illicit items. And as long as a buyer had some of this new digital currency called Bitcoin to spend, they could find whatever they wanted for purchase. This illicit activity on the Silk Road really put crypto on the map…. especially for law enforcement. But by 2013, the Silk Road was shut down as part of an intense federal investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies. Key to the disruption of the Silk Road was an undercover special agent with the Department of Homeland Security. Jared Der-Yeghiayan’s story is not well-known or publicized. But he spoke with Designated host Yaya Jata Fanusie and explained what happened behind the scenes of the Silk Road and how he and a team of his fellow agents were able to gather evidence and conduct a raid that brought down the creator of the site, Ross Ulbricht, who is now serving two life sentences in a federal penitentiary.
