Robert Mazur has earned global acclaim as one of the world’s leading experts about the financial escapades of the underworld. His life is the subject of two books, an internationally released film, and soon, a second internationally released film. For 5 years, in the eyes of organized crime leaders, he was a sophisticated mob- connected money launderer that helped manage their illicit fortunes. His clients, some of the most famous and deadly drug cartel bosses, offered a $1/2 million price tag for his head when arrests were made around the world and he was revealed 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 life acting as a conduit between Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Drug Cartel and corrupt senior international bank executives that cleaned billions in blood-stained money. The Infiltrator was the basis for the internationally released major motion picture by the same name, starring Bryan Cranston and other globally known cast members.
Robert has transformed his underworld experience and current day involvement in the financial crime field into remarkable lessons for today’s business sector. His presentations, all of which are uniquely designed for each client, have received tremendous acclaim from an extraordinarily wide range of major business and public sector members. He has been highly recommended by Industry 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, artificial intelligence producers, cyber security companies, financial service providers, law enforcement agencies, charitable organizations & fraud prevention associations.
In 2022, his second book, The Betrayal, was released in North America and several European countries. It chronicles a second multi-year undercover assignment as a money launderer he carried out after the events in his earlier book. The Betrayal, which is also being developed as a motion picture that will star Bryan Cranston, focuses not only on his infiltration of money launderers, corrupt bankers, drug kingpins in Colombia’s Cali Cartel, and the Panamanian underworld, but also addresses his near death at the hands of a law enforcement colleague, a mole for the underworld within DEA, who secretly compromised his undercover identity.
After completing his government service, Robert managed a global investigative and consulting firm that addressed current day criminal activity in virtually every corner of the world on behalf of clients that included numerous international banks and law firms. He is now the President of KYC Solutions, Inc., a firm that provides speaking, expert witness, and consulting services to companies worldwide.
Robert Mazur delivers several different types of compelling presentations. In his standard Keynote, he explains his amazing life in the underworld as a money launderer for Colombian cartels, as well as the techniques used by the most sophisticated money launderers in the world then, and today.
