Robert Mazur's 2024 biography

About Robert Mazur

Robert Mazur has earned global acclaim as one of the world’s leading experts about the financial escapades of the underworld. There is no one with more first-hand knowledge about how the underworld launders nearly $2 trillion in criminal proceeds annually. For years, in the eyes of organized crime leaders, he was a sophisticated mob-connected money launderer that helped manage their illicit fortunes. His clients, some of the most famous and deadly drug cartel bosses, offered a $1/2 million price tag for his head when arrests were made around the world and he was revealed to be a highlytrained U.S. federal undercover agent.

Robert is the New York Times bestselling author of The Infiltrator, a memoir about the first half of his undercover life acting as a conduit between Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Drug Cartel and corrupt senior international bank executives that cleaned billions in blood-stained money. Escobar’s corrupt lawyers and dirty bankers taught Mazur more about real-life money laundering than governments will ever know. The Infiltrator, is available in 10 languages and in more than 50 countries. It was the basis for the internationally released major motion picture by the same name, starring Bryan Cranston, Diane Kruger, and other globally known cast members.

Robert has transformed his underworld experience and current day involvement in the financial crime field into remarkable lessons for today’s business sector. His presentations, all of which are uniquely designed for each client, have received tremendous acclaim from an extraordinarily wide range of the business and public sector. He has been highly recommended by Industry leaders at financial institutions, fund management firms, cyber security companies, law firms, professional associations, financial service providers, compliance trainers, educational institutions, law enforcement agencies, auditing firms, regulatory agencies, charitable organizations, CPE certification agencies, fraud prevention companies, fraud prevention associations, transaction monitoring firms, artificial intelligence producers.

Mr. Mazur shares unique insights with organizations around the globe about identifying & understanding methods of money laundering, establishing sound anti-money laundering policies & procedures, mitigating financial crime risk, security protocols, identifying current day money laundering threats, understanding the inner workings of organized crime, and team building. He also shares secrets with senior executives about how to establish rapport and enhance communication in their business and personal lives, secrets he learned while being trained in long-term undercover techniques that enabled him to successfully engage with some of the world’s most notorious organized crime figures. For Mr. Mazur, those techniques meant the difference between life and death. For senior executives, these back-channel insights can be the difference between achieving maximum success, or failing.

In the Spring of 2022, Robert’s second book, The Betrayal, was released in North America and Europe in several languages. It chronicles a second 2-year undercover assignment he carried out after the events in his earlier book, The Infiltrator. His new book, which is also being developed as a motion picture that will star Bryan Cranston, focuses not only on his infiltration of money launderers, corrupt bankers, drug kingpins in Colombia’s Cali Cartel, and the Panamanian underworld, but also addresses his near death at the hands of a law enforcement colleague, a mole for the underworld within DEA, who secretly compromised his undercover identity.

During his 27-year career as a federal agent in 3 U.S. agencies, Mr. Mazur received numerous awards, including being recognized by national professional associations as the nation’s top criminal investigator of the year, and subsequently as the nation’s top financial investigator of the year. After completing his government service, Robert managed a global investigative and consulting firm that addressed current day criminal activity in virtually every corner of the world on behalf of clients that included numerous international banks and law firms. He is now the President of KYC Solutions, Inc., a firm that provides speaking, expert witness, and consulting services to companies worldwide.

Mr. Mazur is certified in both U.S. and Canadian courts as an expert in money laundering. His articles concerning laundering, drug trafficking, and corruption have been published by many major media outlets, including the NY Times.

Whether addressing the enhanced money laundering related risk emanating from China, the laundering of criminal fortunes throughout Africa, the laundering of massive amounts of illicit funds for terrorists and Russian organized crime through Baltic nations, the leading money laundering role played by the gold refining industry in the Middle East, the emerging laundering threat posed by cryptocurrency, or addressing the fundamentals of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, Robert Mazur has the experience to enlighten and inform audiences about these and many other current day threats.

Robert continues to contribute to drug trafficking and money laundering related programming. He has been a contributor to programing that has aired on PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Univision, BBC, and other major networks.

“THE INFILTRATOR” – Why nearlry $2 Trillion is Laundered Every Year

Robert Mazur reveals why 98% of the nearly $2 trillion in illicit funds laundered each year moves undetected into the world economy. He shares insights from a platform built on his New York Times bestselling book, The Infiltrator, which is the basis for the internationally released film of the same name, starring Bryan Cranston, and his most recent book, The Betrayal.

With a combination of insight gained from years of operating undercover as a sophisticated money launderer and endless time spent investigating and studying the most significant current cases, Mr. Mazur arms his audiences with critical knowledge. Among other things:
