I started this project because the documents were public and everybody was reading them. One file at a time, one name at a time. I wanted to do more than read them. I wanted to follow the money — across every wire, every shell, every bank — and find out where it all led. A shell upon a shell inside a shell.

Thousands of pages of wire transfer records, bank statements, CHIPS and SWIFT logs, canceled checks, and SAR narratives — all released by the Department of Justice and various court proceedings. The raw material for a forensic audit was sitting on government servers. So I built one.

Over the course of this project, I processed 10 distinct payment types across 14 financial institutions. The publication ledger holds 10,964 unique transactions totaling $2.146 billion (Unverified). That figure breaks down into four tiers: $1.61 billion in wire transfers, CHIPS, and SWIFT transactions; $343 million in bank statement entries; $7.6 million in checks and cash instruments; and $185 million in contextual document references.

The first three tiers alone total $1.96 billion. That's 104.4% of the aggregate values reported in the banks' own SARs. The data doesn't just corroborate the suspicious activity reports. It slightly exceeds them.
