Robert Mazur is the New York Times best-selling author of "The Infiltrator," a memoir about his undercover life, much of which was spent acting as a conduit between ruthless drug barons and corrupt legitimate appearing senior executives that cleaned billions in blood- stained money through otherwise respectable international banks and businesses. For years, in the eyes of organized crime leaders he was a highly successful, mob-connected money launderer who helped manage their illicit fortunes. His clients, some of the most famous and deadly drug cartel bosses, issued a $500,000 contract on his life when arrests were made around the world and he was revealed to be a highly trained U.S. federal undercover agent. After completing a highly decorated 27-year career as a federal agent in three U.S. agencies, Mazur is now the president of KYC Solutions Inc., a firm that provides speaking, expert witness and consulting services to companies worldwide.
