Financial crime detection is broken
$3.1 trillion in illegal transactions were made in 2023. More than $800 billion was connected to drug trafficking, $350 billion to human trafficking, and $11.5 billion to terrorism. Another $500 billion was lost to fraud.
1% of these crimes are brought to justice.
That feels like an error of focus. Not an error of ability.
$350 billion
More than a third of a trillion dollars is generated each year by human trafficking.
50 million
There are more than 50 million people trapped in modern slavery.
1%
Only 1% of financial crimes are brought to justice.
