In Singapore, the aftermath of a three-billion-dollar money laundering investigation has taken a quietly remarkable turn: the state is now selling off the spoils.

It is a process that transforms the instruments of financial crime into civic revenue, and in doing so, asks us to consider how societies reclaim what was taken from the common good.
