Summary "Financial Crime and Corruption" by Samuel Vaknin is a comprehensive examination of global financial misconduct, including corruption, embezzlement, and money laundering, written in the early 21st century. The text serves as an analytical and educational account aimed at understanding the mechanisms and implications of corrupt practices in both political and economic contexts. It delves into various case studies and theories regarding financial crime, illustrating the pervasive nature of these issues across different countries and systems. The opening of the book discusses the concept of slush funds, providing historical examples that showcase their misuse in both government and corporate environments. It highlights incidents like the FBI's Operation Swordfish and the corrupt practices of several politicians and organizations, emphasizing the detrimental effects of slush funds on public trust and governance. By setting the stage with concrete examples and precedents, Vaknin provides readers with a foundational understanding of how financial misconduct unfolds and proliferates within institutional frameworks, foreshadowing the broader discussions that will follow throughout the work.
