The Money’s Gotta Be Someplace (with Debra LaPrevotte)
For 20 years, Debra LaPrevotte worked for the FBI, specializing in international kleptocracy investigations. After retiring from the Bureau, she took a job with The Sentry, the organization funded by George Clooney, where she continues her work investigating kleptocratic crimes, particularly in Africa. She is the co-host and subject of a new podcast, “A Nation for Thieves,” put out by Lion’s Gate. She talks to Greg Olear about her FBI experiences, which countries are the most corrupt, how real estate and art are used to launder money, the problem with Delaware, and the time she seized a Maybach only to find it was out of gas. Plus: a Twitter anthem. Follow Andrew: https://twitter.com/andrewsweiss Buy his book: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250760753/accidentalczar Sponsored by BetterHelp.
