Bugsy’s Shadow
A world fit for money laundering
This is the untold history of how prominent civil servants in the UK tailored US-devised anti-money laundering (AML) policies in ways that suited the needs of Britain’s financial services industry. In the aftermath of these initial compromises in 1987, criminal money managers in both the US and the UK were able to continue to operate in an environment that easily allowed them to hide and use dirty money. The researchers analysed six months of pre…
Cosolvent-Promoted O-Benzylation with Silver(I) Oxide
A cosolvent-promoted O-benzylation strategy with Ag2O was developed. The cosolvent consisting of CH2Cl2 and n-hexane can not only improve the reaction solubility for carbohydrates but also increase the benzylation efficiency. The formation of byproducts is greatly inhibited in the developed method. This method is simple, mild, and highly effective, and numerous 1'-benzylated sucrose derivatives were prepared including a photoreactive (trifluorome…
Organized Evil and the Atlantic Alliance
Moral panics are conventionally associated with the interpretations of youthful action imposed by powerful state or media forces. However, the concept is also useful in understanding more generally how social problems are constructed and presented. In this paper, we consider how a vague term such as ' organized crime ' has emerged as a vehicle for exclusionary rhetorics in both the United States and Britain. While the origins of the organized cri…
The history of native Americans and the misdirected study of organised crime
Conventional chronologies of the history of organised crime in America tend to focus on the arrival of large numbers of Italian immigrants in the 1890s as the catalyst for organised crime. However, analysis of the history of interactions between colonists and aboriginal peoples in North America suggests a much earlier incipience of organised criminal activity marked by the arrival of different groups of immigrants, namely, Dutch, French and Briti…
Organized Crime and American Power
Woodiwiss argues that organized criminal activity has never been a serious threat to established economic and political power structures in the USA but more often a fluid, variable, and open-ended phenomenon that has complemented those structures
