Blood Money Media

Blood Money Media investigates the blood-cost of illicit-finance.

We  follow the money — from shell companies to sanctioned regimes, from stolen state assets to terror-finance networks. Through short  documentary films, source-driven reporting, and visual storytelling, we  expose how illicit finance fuels global instability, crime, and geopolitical chaos.

Founded by Ian Talley, an award-winning former Wall Street Journal reporter, Blood Money Media brings two decades of experience covering  economic statecraft, transnational crime, and financial secrecy from  Kabul to Caracas, Hanoi to Washington. His work has been cited by U.S.  lawmakers, global think tanks, and featured across outlets including  CNN, BBC, C-SPAN, Fox News, and The Wall Street Journal.

Our mission is to make visible the dark money networks of power, profit, and  abuse that shape the modern world — and to equip the public,  policymakers, and watchdogs with the facts to hold them accountable.

• Short investigative documentaries
• Deep-dive reporting and source documents
• Interviews and audio investigations (coming soon)
• Exclusive content for supporters and founding members
   

Blood  Money Media is 100% independent. No advertising. No institutional gatekeepers. Just investigative journalism funded directly by people who believe in transparency and accountability.

If you’re a policymaker, journalist, donor, or citizen who wants to  understand the universe of dark money and the blood-cost it exacts —  you’re in the right place.
