Robert Mazur is a former government agent who investigated drug-money laundering for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service intelligence division, and the Customs Service. While deep undercover in hot spots such as Florida, Colombia, and Panama, Mazur successfully infiltrated criminal rings and cartels, including Pablo Escobar's, by posing as a wealthy, mob-connected businessman. He helped manage the illicit fortunes of the Medellín and Cali cartels while gathering evidence that would lead to some of the largest money-laundering prosecutions in history.
He speaks to Insider about how the cartels layer their assets, and move money via “smurfs”. He also covers the use of legitimate businesses, such as jewellery chains and mortgage brokerage companies.
Mazur is the author of "The Infiltrator," which became a New York Times bestseller and inspired a 2016 film of the same title, starring Bryan Cranston (as Mazur) and John Leguizamo. Cranston is set to play Mazur again in the sequel currently in development, which is based on Mazur' second memoir, "The Betrayal.” Today, Mazur speaks and consults around the world through his company, KYC Solutions.

"I want a government with conscience. I don't want people high-fiving." When dealing with something like the cartels, and all the suffering that comes from their activities, I think that is absolutely the correct attitude to have.

Reminds me of the scene near the end of "The Big Short", where the retired bitter wall-st banker helps the 2 young guys by letting them use his account to gain access to the highest level of options trading - where they then took every dollar they had & shorted (aka bet on the downfall of) the housing market in 2007. When their predictions came true (meaning they made 100's of millions), they were high-fiving & getting all rowdy/excited - instantly the retired wall-st banker slapped them with the reality that they were celebrating was millions of American's losing their homes & their entire lives, that this wasn't just like taking money from a casino. I agree with Robert & that banker 100%, you can never let your humanity slip away when you're dealing with people's life.

At this point he already knows Morgan Stanley is actively betting against his position, but he doesn't know how big their position is.

Wow, this guy is a soldier to look into the eyes of those criminals and families in court after what he did to them is admirable, it's unimaginable the number of high-stress situations he must have been in with dozens of people constantly off drugs and carrying weapons where any slip-up, fumble, or poor choice of words could easily be misread and lead to dangerous consequences. However, he is very articulate in English so I assume he carried that on through his undercover persona when he spoke to the narcos and launderers in Spanish making it all the more impressive.

I used to work in and around commercial, retail, industrial, and residential real estate. Real Estate is the #1 target for money laundering. One of the first property management companies that I had as a client, one of the Managing Partners, a real estate agent who was also a lawyer, asked me a lot of questions about two of their properties. She noticed that there was a lot of work that was being invoiced, millions, that was not being done. She dropped those properties like they were made of lava.

Imagine you legalised drug usage, produced it at a high quality and taxed it? While doing this, you focus your efforts on education, rehabilitation and addiction treatment. This is especially important for those with afflicted with drug addiction. Addiction is a disease and we need to show these people empathy. Not only would we have a better society but our costly jail's would not be as full, we'd have more tax dollars, addicts could get access to clean drugs and help as well as take the money and power away from the criminals. If it's one thing we know, people will always do drugs. The resources and time spent on the "war on drugs" is a farce and by in large not effective. Law enforcement has lost this war.

The mining company refused to claim it was theirs (for reasons they did not specify), however conveniently changed their tune just before 7 years. because after 7 years it would have become my lecturer's (since he was holding it for analysis until someone claimed it).

As a Canadian I think about laundering legal money to hide it from the government all of the time. The fact that 67% of my income goes to taxes feels corrupt and criminal when I can't even afford a house

@persuasivebarrier2419 3 aylar önce

67%? I call cap. What is your income yearly about?

@jayjayman23 3 aylar önce

As a Canadian myself I have never heard of anyone getting taxed 67% or anywhere near that range on their income. Even if it was possible (it’s not) that would mean that you’re in an incredibly high tax bracket (fact: 33% on anything over $221,708) and you’d probably be able to afford something.

@jombac3 I didn't say on my income I said of my income. 67% of my money goes to taxes. If you are from a lower taxed province this might be hard to understand but even the lowest taxed provinces are paying quite alot.

@persuasivebarrier2419 a bunch of money but besides the point I didn't say I get taxed 67% on my income I said I lose 67% of my income to taxes

If you’re running a jewelry business that’s supposedly pulling in $500,000 a week, won’t someone eventually notice that you’re not buying much or any new jewelry?

Legalise the drug industry. It will make healthy economies on a global scale and will minimise what society deems as illegal. Perhaps enabling a global educational and health care standard that we could aspire to.

The guy from breaking bad, Bryan Cranston, stared in the film of this…. The financial gymnastics and rigamarole involved w/ laundering actual cash into financial transactions, is unbelievably complex and plays out like a continuously morphing ecosystem - legal entities nested under legal entities in nation-currency “X”, that was routed through nation-currency “A” this cycle, but then through nation-currency “B” next cycle, the combination of legal entities, financial institutions, currencies, instruments, movements across borders, etc is an endless web of interlocking parties, in which funds can be routed, passed-through and exchanged - Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are also party to the laundering game

I haven't seen anyone so determined to make his clients profits as Owen. How he allows you express your fears and still calms your fears is something I admire about him. I don't usually comment on videos but I must put the word out there, he's really great.

@AliAbbas17956 3 aylar önce

Thank you. Crypto education is what the world needs the most right now. I don’t think that buy and hold is a valid investment strategy anymore. Not too diluted and to a degree, follows Owen’s trading ideas and signal tips for your portfolio growth and aggressiveness. He is a man who has not only taught me what the cryptocurrency trading world looks like but a secret to uplift my finance. Buying crypto and waiting for the price to shoot up is not the best way to invest in the market but buying and trading is the key. Owen Arthur’s trade signal does the heavy lifting, generating competitive returns for crypto traders and investors in the form of money and peace of mind. Time in the market vs. timing the market. If you keep that mentality as an investor, you will stay calm during the storm! Within some months I was making a lot more money and have continued on that same path with Owen Arthur Edgar.

@michealdonaldray5198 3 aylar önce

As a new investor, it's important to remember that investing and trading require more than just technical analysis skills. Discipline and emotional maturity play a significant role in achieving success. It's wise to keep in mind the adage of "time in the market vs. timing the market," as this mentality can help you weather market volatility. With insights of Owen Arthur and my commitment to learning and growth, I've been increasing my earnings in just a few month
