Hello, I'm Alexander Rogge with Trace. We're launching this new podcast,

bribe, swindle, or steel as a place to learn more about corruption, fraud, money laundering,

and sanctions. We're going to cover the whole seedy world of financial crime. It's also called white collar crime,

but that's usually by the perps themselves because apparently that sounds a bit less grubby.

We've got interviews lined up with luminaries in the field, including investigative reporters, business people, and prosecutors,

and we'll try to get to the bottom of how financial crime works.

There's some fascinating research being done around what motivates people to commit these crimes,

how they try to cover their tracks, and what could be done to stop the looting.

We'll examine a new angle on financial crime every week, so please subscribe on iTunes to be notified of new episodes of bribe, swindle, or steel.
