Money Laundering - So What? XII

So - we have found the "secret" if we can even call it that to money laundering - the wealthier the nation, the more money laundering is attractive as a criminal enterprise.  If money is laundered through the American or British or Monacan financial system and emerges "clean," then it will be easier to take this money out of the country and use it for legitimate (or illegitimate) purposes.  If "cleaned" money is taken from America, it will more likely be accepted into the world's banking and financial system as legitimate.

     By comparison, if money is "laundered" through a country such as Haiti, it will still be suspect.  One million dollars laundered through Haiti, even if it comes from "clean" businesses such as restaurants, will never be as fully accepted as one million dollars from the U.S.

     This is one of the (many) reasons why money laundering is a problem for wealthy nations.  If money laundering is left unchecked, then soon even wealthy nations will have their currency suspect and their international reputations besmirched.

   We will move onto another topic tomorrow.

As always, have a great and fraud-free day.
