The Despot's Guide To Wealth Management by Nick Sharman

On the International Campaign against Grand Corruption

An analysis of how kleptocrats move, hide, and enjoy illicit fortunes through mainstream financial centers, this work probes the roles of banks, lawyers, and corporate service providers and evaluates the impact of global standards like anti–money laundering rules and beneficial ownership disclosure. Using case studies and empirical evidence, it challenges assumptions about offshore tax havens by showing that onshore jurisdictions often serve as key enablers. It assesses why international efforts against grand corruption deliver mixed results and offers pragmatic reforms to improve transparency, curb gatekeeper complicity, and strengthen asset recovery.
