Paul Massaro, Casey Michel and Nate Sibley discuss what happens when kleptocrats go passport shopping for so-called “Golden Visas,” how US universities launder criminal reputations, Hong Kong’s lurch to autocracy, and the Central American leader turning his country into a crypto-haven powered by volcanoes.

Ep. 11: Kleptocrats and the Art of Reputation Laundering

Making a Killing explores how corruption is reshaping global politics, and fueling some of the most deadly security threats facing the world today - from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, to terrorist networks, nuclear proliferation, drug trafficking and other organized crime. 

Making a Killing is a podcast project from the Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative, hosted by Nate Sibley.
