George Cottrell, a former aide to Nigel Farage who served time in a US prison for wire fraud, launched his book, "How to Launder Money," at a party in London. The book, co-authored with Lawrence Burke Files, is subtitled "A Guide for Law Enforcement, Prosecutors and Policymakers" and aims to expose the inner workings of money laundering. The launch was attended by prominent Reform UK figures, including Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Nick Candy, and Laila Cunningham, as well as GB News presenter Martin Daubney. Published by Biteback, owned by Lord Ashcroft, the book claims to offer an "inside story" on money laundering, arguing that current anti-money laundering laws are ineffective and burden legitimate businesses. Cottrell and Burke Files assert the book is intended to help law enforcement understand the methods used by criminals.
