Canada, 1920 to 2026. A country the world thinks of as polite has been, for a century, one of the most convenient places to make criminal money usable. Here are the distillers who supplied a dry America, tobacco companies that pleaded guilty over smuggling across the St. Lawrence, a Montreal café where a police camera watched cash being divided, a government casino that took twenty-dollar bills by the bagful, an underground bank whose prosecution collapsed, a crypto exchange whose vaults were empty, and the federal police intelligence director convicted of offering secrets to its targets. It asks why so few paid. Covers Vito Rizzuto and the Montreal Mafia, Maurice Boucher and the Hells Angels, Cameron Ortis and Phantom Secure, Gerald Cotten and QuadrigaCX, and Paul King Jin and Silver International.
