NY Times bestselling author Robert Mazur has earned global acclaim as one of the world’s leading experts on the financial escapades of the underworld. His life is the subject of two books and an internationally released film. For five years, in the eyes of organized crime leaders and senior management at the notorious Bank of Credit & Commerce International (BCCI), he was a sophisticated, mob-connected money launderer helping manage their illicit fortunes. Some of his clients, among the world’s most infamous drug cartel leaders, even offered a $500,000 price for his head when arrests were made worldwide, revealing him to be a highly trained U.S. federal undercover agent.
Robert is the New York Times bestselling author of The Infiltrator, a memoir about the first half of his undercover career acting as a conduit between Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Drug Cartel and corrupt senior international bank executives who laundered billions in blood-stained money. The Infiltrator was adapted into an internationally released major motion picture starring Bryan Cranston and other globally recognized cast members.
Robert has transformed his underworld experience and current-day expertise in financial crime into actionable lessons for today’s business sector. His presentations, each uniquely tailored for the client, have received tremendous acclaim across a wide range of major business and public sector audiences. He has been highly recommended by leaders at financial institutions, law firms, compliance trainers, auditing firms, CPE certification agencies, transaction monitoring firms, fund management firms, professional associations, educational institutions, regulatory agencies, fraud prevention companies, AI developers, cybersecurity firms, financial service providers, law enforcement agencies, and charitable organizations.
In 2022, his second book, The Betrayal, was released in North America and several European countries. It chronicles a second multi-year undercover assignment he carried out after the events of his first book. The Betrayal, which is also being developed into a motion picture starring Bryan Cranston, explores his infiltration of money launderers, corrupt bankers, drug kingpins in Colombia’s Cali Cartel, and the Panamanian underworld, and details a near-fatal betrayal by a law enforcement colleague who secretly compromised his undercover identity.
After completing his government service, Robert managed a global investigative and consulting firm addressing criminal activity worldwide on behalf of numerous international banks and law firms. He is now President of KYC Solutions, Inc., providing speaking, expert witness, and consulting services to companies around the world.
