Searching for Wayward Dollars: Money Laundering or Tax Evasion — Which Dollars are We Really After?

Abstract

The theme of this year's conference on economic crime was hidden wealth in general — not necessarily dressed up as money laundering. Therefore the question becomes how is wealth ‘hidden’ rather than laundered — how can we best identify these funds — and are we politically willing to go after them and at what ‘costs’ to society in terms of dollars, but more importantly in terms of privacy and confidentiality considerations?
