Drug Cartels, Money Laundering, and HSBC with Chris Blackhurst & Everett Stern

Here's a conversation about international banking, massive drug cartels and billions in laundered money. My first guest is Chris Blackhurst. He's the author of a book called Too Big to Jail: Inside HSBC, the Mexican drug cartels and the biggest banking scandal of the century. And if you think about that, we've already had a couple of big banking scandals, so this is a big one. The book tells the story of how HSBC ignored money laundering laws and processed billions in dirty cash for notorious drug lord and murder El Chapo in the early 2000's and into the 2010's. One of the characters we meet in the book is a guy named Everett Stern, who was an anti money laundering compliance officer at HSBC. Everett saw how intentionally lax HSBC’s methods were for identifying and reporting to the government suspicious activity going on within its banks. He turned whistle-blower and started sharing his story with the CIA. Everett has appeared in the Netflix documentary Dirty Money, and he's written a book about his experience called Dark Money and Private Spies.
