It explores the evolution of illicit methods, from traditional front companies to modern techniques exploiting technology, digital wallets, and virtual currencies. Furthermore, the content sheds light on the sheer scale of these threats, noting that global laundered funds are estimated between $800 billion and $2 trillion annually.
