Advocis Presents: 
A Coffee Talk Webinar
with Matt McGuire

Coffee Talks is a webinar series by Advocis featuring 30 minute talks on subjects of interest for advisors.

Episode four: Who Wants to be a Money Launderer?

In Canada, many people aspire to fruitful careers in money laundering with $50 billion being cleaned through our economy every year. The professional techniques used by launderers have become so impressive, other countries have given them names, like “Snow Washing”, and the “Vancouver Model”. To encourage their efforts, especially in the era of COVID-19, the government assigns nearly no law enforcement or prosecutorial resources to slow them down, and when they do, they take great care not to infringe on their liberty or their ill-gotten gains.

Money launderers are so good at their jobs, you might not have noticed them in your client base. They blend in well. They’re often affluent boomers with professional designations and a superior understanding of the financial system.

Join us on June 9th at 11:00 am EDT for a Coffee Talk with Matt McGuire, Co-Founder and Practice Leader with The AML Shop, as he discusses the crimes launderers commit to generate wealth; the techniques they use to make it look like it’s coming from legitimate sources and; the ways you can prevent, deter and detect them.
