Review: Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World

Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World by Tom Burgis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A fast paced book and a look at the world of money laundering, corruption, billionaires and oligarchs. The author has done a good job researching the events, mainly in Russia, Kazakhstan, USA and UK. Asia does not feature here except for some references.

The title of the book caught my attention. The blurb was even more promising. But sadly the book did not live up to its promise. It was hard to keep track of the stories and even harder to keep track of the characters flitting in and out. It was a downer for me.
