'This well-written and intellectually innovative book on the controls on financial crime - money laundering, terror finance and sanctions - sets out its stall 'to contribute to our current collective understanding of the legal and policy choices that need to be made as governments and parliaments attempt to regulate criminals' interactions with the legitimate economy. In essence, this is an exercise in ordering and clarifying our thinking about the objectives, incentives and challenges that manifest themselves across the sprawling, increasingly complicated domain of financial crime regulation.' It achieves this with admirable clarity, identifying the misalignment of objectives - the exclusion of criminal actors from the legitimate economy and their surveillance - and helping readers think through how to align these better with fewer unintended negative consequences. These tensions in objectives and their relationship with what public and private actors do will be around for some years yet, and I have no doubt that Doing Business with Criminals will remain a classic for years to come.'

'Doing Business with Criminals shines a light on the central contradictions of the global anti-money laundering system. For those that doubt its effectiveness and seek to refocus its mission, Moiseienko's work is an indispensable guide.' Tom Keatinge, Director, Centre for Finance & Security at RUSI
