Description
Kleptocracies, organized crime, and criminal enterprises all depend on an array of support services they receive from a sprawling industry of lawyers, accountants, bankers, managers, and front men and women of all sorts. These "enablers" may run the businesses, wash the money, or simply provide a veneer of respectability.
In this panel we bring together three veteran reporters who have dug into the criminal services industry, from massive money laundering operations and offshore assets to Donald Trump's real estate holdings.

Not a week goes by without another startling revelation about Donald Trump. We are pleased to present two of the leading investigative journalists digging into the strange world of Trump, Inc. -- his companies, money, family, and associates. The New York Times' Russ Buettner shared a Pulitzer Prize this year for revealing Trump's dismal record of business failures, including vastly overstating his worth. David Cay Johnston, also a Pulitzer winner, is author of bestselling books The Making of Donald Trump and It’s Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration is Doing to America. Curious about the Trump phenomenon? Here's where you can get your questions answered.
