Inside Pokémon's Criminal Underworld...

Inside Pokémon’s Criminal Underworld Pokémon cards have become far more than a children’s hobby. Today, they’re bought and sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds, stored as investments, and traded in a global collectibles market worth billions. But wherever money flows, crime usually follows. In this documentary, we investigate the hidden criminal underworld surrounding the Pokémon Trading Card Game—from counterfeit cards and pack weighing to resealed products, organised theft, fraud, and documented money laundering cases. More importantly, we uncover how each of these crimes evolved, why they continue today, and what they reveal about the transformation of Pokémon from a children’s card game into a global financial asset. If you collect, invest, grade, or simply love Pokémon, this is a side of the hobby you need to understand.
