It was an honor to present the keynote address in Boise at the opening of the 2024 conference of conservation professionals. 250 members of the Western Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) and the Conservation Business Managers Association (CBMA) comprised one of the most engaging and welcoming audiences I have had the privilege to speak with about life inside murderous Colombian drug cartels.

One might wonder what valuable takeaways my 5 years within the underworld delivered to this audience. Aside from giving them a true sense of what life and death entails within the cartels that cause more than 107,00 drug overdose deaths a year in America, I shared insights about the critical techniques a long-term undercover agent must master and employ to maximize their ability to establish rapport and communicate with murders that normally do not want to share their deepest thoughts. Those techniques are not just valuable to a long-term covert agent.

JORDAN HARBINER'S NEW INTERVIEW OF THE INFILTRATOR (Episode 8 - The Final)![]()
![]()
During Episode 8 of the Jordan Harbinger interview, the final episode of this series, I explain why I decided to stop working deep undercover. We also discuss the treats made against my life back in the day, and now. Ultimately, we explore the bottom line about why international banks throughout the world and countless financial service providers cross the line and launder illicit funds. In the end, it’s all about banking the more than $2 trillion a year in capital seeking secrecy from governments. Those funds evolve from every walk of crime. Whether it is drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal arms dealing, tax evasion, the pilfering of treasuries, white collar crime, or some other ugly event, the fortunes of rouges corrupt many and create the battle lines that professionals in anti-money laundering fight every day. Thank you all for the sacrifices you all make in the private and public sectors to "FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT".

During the interview, I mistakenly referred to the late-night social club where the discussion about laundering through the Federal Reserve occurred as “Renee’s”. My bad. It was actually “Regine’s”, a 25-club empire spanning from Rio de Janeiro to Kuala Lumpur that was built by nightlife powerhouse Regine Zylberberg. I frequented the Miami, NYC, Paris, and London locations of her clubs during my undercover life. At those hot spots, I ran into movie stars, sports greats, famous musicians, and high-profile wise-guys. It was a magnet for the rich and famous.![]()
