''I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.''
-Kurt Vonnegut

ICIJ" Getting our hands on a trove of exclusive documents does not mean that exclusive
stories fall into our laps.
It takes a lot of time – 16 months total in the case of FinCEN Files – and
exhaustive effort to make sense of these documents and tell fair and accurate
news stories that connect global malfeasance to everyday people. This process
includes data cleaning, verification and sophisticated analysis, hunting down
thousands of related records, and shoe-leather reporting to connect the dots
and find the victims of broken systems.
This week, reporter Will Fitzgibbon
takes us on that journey, sharing how just a few words in a
secret bank document set him on a path to investigating a global drug
trafficking ring that landed him in Garland, North Carolina, where he met a
grieving family who suffered the ultimate consequence when dirty money was
allowed to flow freely around the world.
