Chris Mathers spent most of his adult life working undercover
for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, US Drug Enforcement
Administration and the US Customs Service. Posing as a gangster,
a drug trafficker and finally as a money launderer, Mathers has
done it all, and his book, CRIME SCHOOL: Money Laundering, tells
it all.
Chris Mathers retired after a 20-year career with the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police. At the time of his retirement, he was
the senior undercover operator at the RCMP Proceeds of Crime
Section where he established and operated a number of
“storefront” money laundering businesses in Canada and the US,
targeting Colombian, Russian and Asian organized crime groups.
Chris personally infiltrated criminal organizations in North
America, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe.
In 1995, Chris joined the Forensic division of the international
accounting firm, KPMG. In 1999, he was appointed to the position
of President of KPMG Corporate Intelligence Inc. where he was
responsible for international due diligence, asset recovery
operations and the investigation and prevention of organized
crime and money laundering.
In 2004, Chris established his own firm, chrismathers inc. where
he provides crime and risk consulting services to selected
domestic and international clients, specializing in fraud, money
laundering, terrorism and organized crime issues.
In 2005, Chris concluded an offshore asset tracing assignment on
behalf of the Independent Inquiry Committee into the United
Nations Oil-For-Food Programme in Iraq.
As a speaker, Chris’ controversial style describes the secret
underworld of gangsters and terrorists, explaining the terms and
identifying the characters, in a candid, no-punches-pulled style
that is consistent with this extraordinary man.
Chris is a popular media commentator and speaker and has served
as a consultant on several feature films and documentaries
relating to organized crime, espionage and money laundering. He
has appeared on television and radio interviews on CNN, PBS,
MSNBC, all of the Canadian national news networks as well as
media outlets in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and the
Caribbean.
