But what happened when our economy went digital? How does the global underworld wash its dirty money in the Internet age?Rinsed reveals how organized crooks have joined forces with the world's most sophisticated cybercriminals. The result: a vast virtual money-laundering machine too intelligent for most authorities to crack.
