Reversing what was undisputable knowledge
Branded as false-factual information
A game of sovereigns
Masters of deceit
Weapons of art
Tables turn on the overpowering

The Shape of Deceit: Behavioral Consistency and Fragility in Money Laundering Patterns
Conventional anti-money laundering (AML) systems predominantly focus on identifying anomalous entities or transactions, flagging them for manual investigation based on statistical deviation or suspicious behavior. This paradigm, however, misconstrues the true nature of money laundering, which is rarely anomalous but often deliberate, repeated, and concealed within consistent behavioral routines. In this paper, we challenge the entity-centric approach and propose a network-theoretic perspective …
