Typology Match

Read each scenario. Assign the correct laundering typology from the dropdown. A pattern- recognition drill for FIU analysts, tax officials and students.

Dr. Collen Lediga, Ruhr-Universität Bochum.

Table setup · 1–6 players

Best with 4–6 (two competing benches)

1Solo study

Three rounds against the clock; write the justification for the hard six.

2Head-to-head

Alternate calls; a wrong call passes the scenario to your opponent for a steal.

3–4Case cell

One caller, two benches of one, one adjudicator, or drop the adjudicator and use the answer key.

5–6Full table

Full benches. A bench only scores when its challenger has named a plausible runner-up.

Team rules

  • 01One seat, one voice: a decision is only locked when the seat that owns it says so out loud.
  • 02Every locked decision needs a one-sentence justification the seat would defend in a real file.
  • 03Any player may call a 60-second 'case conference' once per round to force a table discussion.
  • 04The facilitator (or the highest-scoring player of the previous round) keeps time and reads the outcome cards.
  • 05Speed never beats reasoning: a fast wrong answer costs two points, a slow correct one costs nothing.

Rotation — Swap benches after each round so both sides face the harder half of the deck.
