Basically every corrupt act in the world, drugs, human trafficking,

organ trafficking, terrorism, it all revolves around money.

It all revolves around corruption.

So it's the things that you do to get money that makes money the root of all evil.

Welcome to the show.

I'm Jordan Harbinger.

As always, I'm here with my producer Jason DeFilippo.

Today we're talking with my friend Joshua Fruth.

Now this is a little bit of a random sort of tangent episode,

but you know, at some point I just got to do stuff that calls to me.

And this sort of subject matter always just pokes the little teenage kid in me

and says, Hey, this is something you probably always wanted to know about.

And you have a chance to learn about it.

Josh is a military intelligence officer,

police captain, financial crime expert and the director of anti money laundering

advisory services at a New Jersey based company called matrix international

financial services.

So matrix IFS there he works with many of the world's largest financial institutions,

tech companies, they develop these financial crime detection rules,

which we'll talk a little bit about today and investigates a lot of money laundering,

fraud, corruption, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion.

This is just something I've been curious about and interested in.
