Books by John Madinger

Explores the covert and clandestine world of informants, revealing how to find them and make the most out of them, avoiding the pitfalls of dealing with them. This book examines various aspects of informant development and management, from the motivation of the informant to the legal problems that accompany the use of informants in criminal cases.

The basics of finding illegal proceeds, tracing it, linking it to the criminal, and then seizing it are at the core of this book. This third edition has been updated to reflect recent important court decisions, changes in federal law relating to money laundering, and trends in crime and terrorism financing. A chapter on money laundering in connection with major frauds uses the Bernie Madoff and Allen Stanford cases, among others, as examples. It also covers terrorism financing, financial intelligence, and the filing of Suspicious Activity Reports by financial institutions. Over 150 figures, photos, charts and graphs make this new edition essential reading for financial investigators.
