Social Reuse of Seized Assets

When tax officials and law enforcement do manage to recover assets and money from criminals, what happens next? How are those seizures used to benefit taxpayers and society? We think there are lots of missed opportunities here and the Taxcast goes to West Yorkshire in the North of England to see social reuse of seized assets in action. It's pretty heartening. Plus: President Donald Trump has pardoned convicted money launderer Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire founder of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. We speak to Scott Greytak of Transparency International US about what this means for the financial integrity of the US financial system and the ramifications for the rest of the world. A transcript of the show is available here: Produced and hosted by Naomi Fowler and Leo Schick. Featuring: Scott Greytak of Transparency International US Dr. Amber Phillips , University of Bristol, Senior Criminology lecturer Tracy Brabin , Mayor of West Yorkshire Alison Lowe , Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Tasha Dyson , Fusion Housing Derek Jones, All Saints Landmark Centre Tony Macaluso , Chapel FM Art Centre Nigel Crowther, senior financial investigator, West Yorkshire Police Alysha, Dance United Further reading: Trump's crypto pardon delivers immediate payback : From Crime to Community: The Social Reuse of Confiscated Assets in Italy, Spain and Romania Website with all our podcasts:
