    RECEIPT #BOB-HO

    APR 11, 2025

    Story still evolving.

    PREDICTION BY

    Bob Hoffman
    According to the World Federation of Advertisers, in 2025 ad fraud may become the second largest source of criminal income in the world after drug trafficking

    FOLLOW-UP

    The 2025 test window has closed. No authoritative global ranking of criminal income (UNODC, Interpol) confirms or refutes the World Federation of Advertisers' claim that ad fraud became the second-largest source of criminal income after drug trafficking. Treat as an unverifiable advocacy stat: widely repeated, never formally measured.
