Working Undercover for Drug Cartels, Surviving Prison & the $4 Trillion Money Laundering Crisis | with Keith Bulfin

What does it take to survive on both sides of the law? 🌎🔥We're back with Keith Bulfin — the former investment banker from Melbourne who was persuaded to work undercover for the DEA, spent three years in a maximum security prison to build cover, and then found himself running a covert bank for the world's most dangerous drug cartels in Mexico City. In this second conversation, we go deeper. Prison violence. Cartel surveillance. A warehouse meeting where Keith didn't know if he'd walk out alive. And why following the money may be the only way to dismantle organised crime.🕵️ Keith Bulfin spent over two decades operating at the intersection of intelligence, covert finance, and organised crime — working with the DEA, intelligence agencies, and government bodies across multiple continents. He now uses that network to help corporations and institutions recover stolen funds and dismantle financial crime — one piece of the jigsaw at a time.We cover:🔒 What 23.5 hours a day locked in a cell does to your mind — and how Keith coped with claustrophobia🏴‍☠️ Being stabbed, beaten, and why standing your ground in prison is non-negotiable🇲🇽 Walking into a Mexico City cartel meeting not knowing if you'll be executed💰 Running a covert bank — and why the cartels know everything about you before you arrive🇩🇪 A Berlin spy operation involving a diplomatic bag, Iranian money, and a shocking twist🧩 The Jigsaw Method — why intelligence agencies only need 25% of the picture, and Keith only needs one piece💸 $4.4 trillion washed through the global banking system — and why digital currency is making it worse🔍 How Keith uses criminal networks to recover stolen funds that law enforcement can't touch🌐 Why attacking the balance sheet is the only real way to bring down a cartel🎧🔥❤️‍🔥LISTEN VIA LINK IN BIO & ❤️‍🔥🔥🎧 https://linktr.ee/pitchingpassion🎁 Listeners get 10% off using the code thekollective10 at audreyschocolates.co.uk 🛍️🔥 Fireside Chat 🔥💫 Something that gives you joy: Swimming every day.🧘 A mantra you live by: Be strong.🎬 Favourite book/film: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.🧒 Words to your younger self: Be strong.🌟 Something you want more of: Enjoy life.❤️‍🔥 Loved this episode? ✨ Like, Share, and Subscribe to support bold, fearless conversations.WANT MORE OR TO SUPPORT? 👉 Become a patron and get exclusive access & behind-the-scenes perks: www.patreon.com/TheKollective828 💎☕ Want to make a one off donation to support the show 🙏 : https://buymeacoffee.com/pitchingpassionMentions: Keith Bulfin · DEA · Drug Enforcement Administration · Mexican cartels · Colombia · Bahrain · Berlin · German intelligence · Iran · Dubai · Bitcoin · Money laundering · United Nations · US Department of Justice · FBI · JP Morgan Chase · Bank of America · The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
