In this inaugural episode of "Seize & Desist" host Aidan Larkin (Co-Founder & CEO of Asset Reality) presents a compelling perspective on the challenges and significance of asset recovery. This field might fly under the radar of mainstream discussions, yet it has an enormous impact on societal funding for essential services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure. With less than 1% of the estimated trillions in illicit financial flows being recovered around the world, there is a pressing need to examine why such a crucial sector is failing and what can be done to enhance its effectiveness.Asset Recovery is not just about arresting criminals and publishing sensational headlines, it is the intricate process of returning stolen wealth to victims and the public purse. Aidan Larkin skillfully deconstructs the complexities of the industry, stressing the alarming fact that crime does pay — and pays well for criminals, due to the vast amounts of unrecovered assets. The episode delves into potential reasons behind the inefficient recovery rates, from a lack of understanding and the fear of appearing ignorant to an overemphasis on the initial seizure rather than the subsequent economic restitution.Timestamps01:00 | The global asset recovery sector is failing03:00 | Less than 1% of global illicit financial flows are recovered05:00 | Asset recovery affects victims and communities09:00 |  Asset recovery in the context of digital and crypto assets11:00 | Aidan Larkin’s background and unique perspective on asset recovery13:00 | FATF's new focus on asset recoveryAbout The Host/Guest:Aidan Larkin is a prominent figure in the global asset recovery sector, boasting over 16 years of experience in the field. With a professional background as a criminal tax investigator, he has a diverse history of working on the investigative side and managing seized assets.
