Stopping Human Crime requires financial crime fighters, like you. Your professional expertise may be another’s ticket to freedom.

As “World Day Against Trafficking in Persons” approaches, we are left to ask, “Why?”

• Why does trafficking still exist?
• Why is there such a demand for selling humans?
• Why have we not halted this epidemic?
• Why are we in this fight?

The Question

The question we focus on now is: Why are we in this fight?

We are here because of you. We want to ignite a fire within you to use your innate gifts to infiltrate a dark and growing network—with your light. Your skills. Your hunger to make a difference.

When a person thinks about human trafficking—s#x trafficking, labor trafficking, and domestic servitude, it can be Daunting—with a capital D. Some feel they cannot make a difference acting alone. That is not the case. A humanitarian’s ethics naturally attract like energy. There is power and safety in numbers. We at The Knoble dive into the numbers, data, and trends to deter human trafficking, financial scams, child exploitation, and elder abuse. The focus of our mission is human crimes. Financial crimes impact human beings. The sale of humans is unacceptable on our watch.

The “Knoble” intentionally has a “K” in front—it’s not silent. It symbolizes the knights equipped for the fight. Knights can be stealth-like and quietly confident but do not stay silent. They have a planned, laser-focused mission to engage, expand and execute the effort.

Where You Come In

You are uniquely positioned to consciously collaborate with professionals who want to do something but aren’t quite sure how. That is where The Knoble Network comes in. We are strong and growing because of you and your knowledge-sharing and industry expertise. Studying the data can, and does, lead to deterrence when shared with the right people—the Knoble ones.

Bring on your analysis, insights, questions, and answers. Exchange information at one of our roundtables, which leaves members wanting more valuable information to take back to their colleagues and share. Why? Because behind some of those trends, frequent purchases, movements of money, and too-good-to-be-true opportunities—are hidden crimes. Those crimes may involve humans, including children. And we can do something to stop it. That is noble.

Behind the numbers

The analysis of money movement and the curiosity behind trends doesn’t just help your bank, financial institution, or law enforcement team—what you notice and share with a trusted network can change the tide and disrupt severe and inhuman crimes.

To provide a full-on list of what the study, deterrence, and reporting of financial crimes can interrupt and prevent, we wouldn’t have enough space here to list them all. However, we can give you a real-world overview of the resources you are saving by increasing your detection and reporting know-how.

Your willingness to step into the arena is invaluable to police officers, homeland security, FBI, and BCA human trafficking task forces in law enforcement alone. It saves all of these departments valuable time. Time is money. Included within the list of professionals whose caseloads can lighten because of your dedication are the investigators, dark web researchers, emergency responders, search and rescue workers, hotline operators, healthcare workers, social workers, psychotherapists, healers, mentors, child advocates, mediators, judges, and—yes—funeral directors.

Why? Because the prevention that results from detection can save lives. This is by no means a complete list. It is meant to paint a picture.

From our lens, the top reason for being in the game of fighting human crime is to interrupt the most traumatic experience a person can endure. Even though some escape “the life,” they had something valuable stolen from them—that was never freely given. They were tricked into trust—the ultimate form of manipulation. These crimes result in life-long traumas to the person, family, community, and lineage.

Disruption is powerful. We simply need more of it. This fight has no room for competition—just ethically sound collaboration. Your keen insight and willingness to engage might be someone else’s ticket to freedom.
