“The Laundry Man is the remarkable story of an ordinary man caught up in an extraordinary life” — so says Amazon.com’s description of Ken Rijock’s new book, to which (according to an interview with the author in the London Times) Johnny Depp has just acquired the film rights. Rijock acted as a money launderer for Colombian and U.S. drug dealers in the 1980s . . . even while he was involved in a love affair with a beautiful police officer. That’s a complication! Eventually Rijock was caught and agreed go undercover for the DEA; now he works with banks and governments to track the new generation of money launderers. “It’s a great feeling to catch criminals at their own game, to be a force for good,” Rijock said in a recent interview. “But I guess a part of me will always be the laundry man.”
