| Abstract | Gangster Planet is a wild ride exploring the ever evolving world of drug trafficking, money laundering and stock swindles. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book not only informs but entertains as it delves into the historical progression of criminal activities. As technology rapidly advances, so too do the methods of those engaged in illegal enterprises. The book reveals how modern criminals adapt their strategies, seamlessly integrating new techniques into their operations. It also uncovers the collaboration between drug traffickers and so-called "professional" white-collar criminals, who play a crucial role in laundering illicit profits through global public corporations. An alternative subtitle could aptly be, The Evolution of Organized Crime into a Global Enterprise. -- from back cover. |
