Read it:
The United States built the world's machinery against organized crime. It is also where criminal fortunes were made inside lawful institutions and parked with the fewest questions. From a Kansas bank emptied by its own chief executive to utilities that admitted paying for favor in two statehouses, a contractor who bribed Navy officers, a drug company that pleaded guilty twice and an exchange founder pardoned after four months, this book follows the money from 1946 to 2026 and asks why the reckoning fell so unevenly. Covers Larry Householder and FirstEnergy, Michael Madigan and Commonwealth Edison, Leonard Glenn Francis and Glenn Defense Marine Asia, Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, Ross Ulbricht and Silk Road, Changpeng Zhao and Binance, and TD Bank and Da Ying Sze.
