Money: From the Ruling Class to Playboys and Money Launderers | VICE Marathon

How does money work? Like, really work? And how does it shape everything around us, from nefarious means like London bankers profiting from slavery long after it was abolished in America, to modern-day money launderers using Snapchat and Instagram to clean cash. Then there's Danny Lambo. Self-made. From modest beginnings in Croydon, south of London, Danny left school at 16 to tour the world in a boyband, before somehow becoming a playboy hotel owner allegedly worth over 45 million pounds. This is what money does to people and the world. Originally published from 2020 to 2023 and collected here for the first time for your marathon viewing pleasure.
