Global Shell Games: Testing Money Launderers’ and Terrorist Financiers’ Access to Shell Companies

Mon - 01 Oct 12 Written by Cayman Finance

For criminals moving large sums of dirty money internationally, there is no better device than an untraceable shell company. This paper reports the results of an experiment soliciting offers for these prohibited anonymous shell corporations. Our research team impersonated a variety of low- and high-risk customers, including would-be money launderers, corrupt officials, and terrorist financiers when requesting the anonymous companies. Evidence is drawn from more than 7,400 email solicitations to more than 3,700 Corporate Service Providers that make and sell shell companies in 182 countries. The experiment allows us to test whether international rules are actually effective when they mandate that those selling shell companies must collect identity documents from their customers.

E-mail Print PDF

At the depth of the financial crisis, many troubled hedge funds were at a loss as to where to turn for help. In the run-up to the sub-prime meltdown, the hedge fund industry had been growing at a phenomenal pace and the vast majority of its participants had never faced even a hiccup in the market, let alone a full-blown and far-reaching crisis. It turned out that where they were based made a difference.
