Crime School: Money Laundering by Chris Mathers

This book is a Canadian Mounty's discussion of how and why criminals launder money. Mathers peppers the text with witty quotations about ethics and crime which give the reader pause and amusement like this one. "If all mankind were suddenly to practice honesty, many thousands of people would be sure to starve" according to G. C. Lichtensberg who lived from 1742-99. The book is a real heads-up about how criminals and terrorists have insinuated themselves throughout the culture. What an eye-opener! This book is a quick read told well and filled with stories of a law enforcement officer whose job was to penetrate the world and minds of money launders by posing as one under cover.
