Banking Bad
Research Team Leader: JP Reppeto
Faculty PI: Dr. Michael Findley

Banking Bad researches money laundering, terrorism financing, and corruption by conducting field experiments on banks and corporate service providers globally. In the past, team members have approached banks and CSPs to collect data on compliance with global anti-money laundering recommendations, often while under aliases. Students have also contributed written material to an accompanying book for the experiment.
