We take listeners on a journey through the eyes of anti-corruption veterans who were on the frontline of many key events that have defined our world today, with perspectives on reform and key historical events you won't hear anywhere else.In Series 1 we sit down with leading white collar crime lawyer Jack Blum who tells us about his life's work during a period of huge geopolitical change and transformed global tax and financial systems. From the BCCI scandal, to Panamanian dictator Noriega's cocaine trafficking, to Lockheed Aircraft's overseas bribes - Jack was there.In Series 2: Richard Allen's passion was alternative music and he set up in the music business with his own record label, managing and touring with bands like Porcupine Tree. But a tax loophole took all of that away from him and he unexpectedly became a campaigner, taking on tax dodgers and the British authorities from his garden shed.
