Description:

In this episode, I interview Odhiambo Otieno to examine Nairobi’s clandestine wash‑wash economy, exposing gold scams, fake invoices, offshore accounts, and cryptocurrency transactions that enable billions of dollars to move from the shadows into luxury cars, mansions, and legitimate businesses. Odhiambo explains the placement, layering, and integration methods that cartels use to launder dirty money and discusses the human cost and the allure that draws many people into the trap. He describes how deep the wash‑wash network reaches in Kenya and questions whether anyone can truly escape once they’re inside, painting a picture of a hidden empire where fraud meets power and easy money comes at the highest price.
