"We believe this man's business account was being used by a global network of organised crime operators to launder tens of millions of pounds of stolen funds through the UK and then out into bank accounts around the world," said Det Insp Craig Mullish, from the City of London Police's money laundering unit.

Says Mullish: "I win them over by teaching them a modicum of contempt for computers."

At N.Y.U., for example, Professor Henry Mullish attracts about 150 "highly motivated" graduate students and fellow teachers for his five-day course on computer science.

Since many nonscientific fields in which they work call for statistical analysis, Mullish attempts to teach them the rudiments of computer programming while dispelling their "innate distrust" of the machines.
