Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Garbage doesn't disappear. It changes hands - and every hand it passes through is a chance for someone to fake a weight, forge a permit, or bury a crime under paperwork nobody's checking.

Welcome to green collar crime: the multi-billion-dollar underworld where "environmental compliance" is sometimes just a nice phrase for a paper trail built to fool an inspector. This isn't pollution as an accident. It's pollution as a business model - and organized crime figured that out decades before most regulators did.

Green Collar Crime for Beginners takes you from the neighborhood recycling scam all the way to the global stage: phantom recycling facilities, rigged public contracts, laundered timber and gold, illegal fishing fleets, carbon-credit fraud, sand mafias, shipbreaking, and wildlife trafficking dressed up as legitimate trade. Twenty-two chapters, every one built on a real, sourced case file - names, dates, numbers, no composites.

No jargon. No 400-page compliance manual. Just the mechanism: how the scam works, how it gets caught, and how to spot it before you're standing next to it.

Inside every chapter: a real Case File, a Street Rule you'll actually remember, Frank's Take - no lecture, no moralizing - a Pop Quiz, a Slang File translating the racket's own vocabulary, and a Green Collar Challenge where you play inspector before you get the answer. Plus a 42-question Final Exam and a full glossary at the back.

For true crime readers, compliance people who are tired of pretending the paperwork is the point, and anyone who's ever wondered where their trash - or their gold, or their tuna, or their carbon offset - actually goes.
