TBML Academy for Beginners

You’ll learn what TBML is, why TBML detection fails, where the blind spots are, and how criminals exploit the gap between theory and practice. This isn’t about memorizing definitions—it’s about thinking critically and questioning the assumptions that allow trillions to flow undetected every year.​

Working on: Synthetic Money Laundering Scenarios Generator

This tool generates realistic, synthetic financial crime cases for training AML investigators, across all spectrum of money laundering schemes and not only trade‑based money laundering (TBML).

Each scenario is delivered in a structured format (business model, laundering architecture, control failures, data signals, what monitoring missed, implementation hints) so it can be dropped straight into training, model design, or for other needs.

My Book

Reviews:

A stimulating, critical examination of TBML and how it is combatted (or not). The authors cogently argue that the true danger of TBML is not its invisibility, but our belief that rigorous compliance frameworks equal control, when in fact, the illusion of control allows illicit finance to flourish. – Michael Levi, Cardiff University, UK

TBML is arguably the largest and most consequential money laundering methodology today, yet simultaneously the least understood, recognized, and enforced. This timely and valuable book provides fresh insights. I applaud its focus on how both policymakers and practitioners often prioritize symbolic responses over meaningful and substantive countermeasures. – John Cassara, former U.S. Treasury Special Agent (retired); Author of Trade-Based Money Laundering: The Next Frontier in International Money Laundering Enforcement
