The Laundry

Definitions are always evolving, but how will the next decade redefine the role of the Money Laundering Reporting Officer?

This week, The Laundry comes to you live from the PIMFA Financial Crime Conference 2026.

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Aaron Guilder, MLRO at Rathbones, Evgenia Giannoulopoulou, MLRO at Rothschild & Co, and Richard Bernstein, Compliance Director & MLRO at JM Finn, to ask: What is the future for MLROs?

The panel discuss: The ever-evolving challenges facing today's MLROs, how the scope of the role is shifting in a digital-first landscape, and the timeless (and new) skills required to perform the role effectively.

On March 18th, Norway’s leading AML and compliance teams —Strise and Signicat—are coming together at SALT, Oslo for: The Laundry Live: Fincrime at Boiling Point!

What will the AML team of the future look like? We’ll explore how AI is rewriting the rulebook and how we can gear up to stay one step ahead in an ever-shifting global financial landscape.

Agenda for the Evening:

Keynote with Thomas Seltzer: AI development is moving at breakneck speed. Finding it hard to keep up? We’re taking a deep dive: Is this a benevolent "Giga-brain" for the good of society, or a destructive "Death Star"?

Live Recording of The Laundry Podcast: We’ve invited some of the sharpest, most outspoken voices to join an expert panel on how the industry is handling mounting global pressure. Panellists include: Eirik Furuseth, Gøran Skaalmo, Kristin Nordland Brattli, and Thomas Osinga,

We’ll also be serving pizza and drinks throughout the night.

Plus, get an exclusive first look at the next generation of AML tools from Strise and Signicat. What will the future workspace look like? And what role will intelligent agents play in our daily workflows?

Admission is free, but because we’re hosting this at SALT, space is limited.

We would love to see you there!

Strise is developing next-generation technology to help financial crime teams stay one step ahead of criminals. The reason is simple: bad actors are using the technology already out there with great success.

In this re-spin (originally published in May 2024), we break down the complex relationship between money laundering and organised crime—and how technology acts as the "rocket booster" driving it all.

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand is joined by investigative journalist and author, Geoff White, to discuss his book, Rinsed: From Cartels to Crypto – How the Tech Industry Washes Money for the World’s Deadliest Crooks.

They discuss: Geoff's work in finding stories of criminals exploiting tech's weaknesses, what stories of massive financial crime tell us about the state of technology, and what the future looks like as the two become more entwined.

Everyone is talking about Moltbook, the social network exclusively for AI agents built using OpenClaw.

But they aren't just chatting —they’re executing tasks, making decisions, and potentially plotting.

If these agents are running their own social networks, could they be prompted to orchestrate global fraud, money laundering, and sanctions evasion?

Our expert hosts, Marit Rødevand and Robin Lycka, sit down to ask: does an AI Agent social network spell financial crime disaster?

The pair discuss: why Moltbook and OpenClaw should have your attention, the potential uses for financial criminals and compliance professionals, and Robin's attempts to build a shady shark network that’s up to no good!

To mark Valentine's Day and the season of romance, we're re-spinning an incredibly important episode.

More than £106m was lost to romance fraud in the UK in 2025, a 9% increase on the year before. Deepfake technology is also making these scams far more sophisticated than before.

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Anna Rowe, Co-Founder of LoveSaid, and Simon Miller, Director of Policy and Communications at Stop Scams UK, to ask: Can fincrime professionals fight romance fraud?

The panel discuss: the biggest challenges in tackling romance fraud, the solutions needed from the compliance industry, and the importance of post-fraud support for victims.
