How cartel money laundering works… literally walk into a HSBC branch with a duffel bag full of $10 bills. Tell them you’d like to deposit it all and they can keep a cut of the money. HSBC says ok, see you tomorrow with another duffel bag and we will try to make the counter a bit easier for you to pass such big piles of bills over. True story! What is the number of HSBC executives in prison for this blatantly obvious money laundering?… 0
Yeah, every industry and corporation and business and law enforcement agency and government is corrupt. Everyone likes to think the US are the good guys and everyone else is bad. Every human being is flawed and we all have a price, a number...that if you hit it, we will look the other way. I hate cops but if you gave me all that power, a gun, a badge and a license to murder and drug cartels approached me and said, hey just let us put our cocaine in your trunk and deliver it here every week or give us protection or arrest our competitors....and gave me a big pile of money to do it...not many people are going to turn that down. Everyone has a price. This guy in the video most definitely took a lot of money for himself. As much as he knew about money laundering, as confident as he was around really bad guys...no way he did all that for a regular employee check.
It is actually laundered though just because it's deposited into a bank? If the IRS asks 'where was this money earned', there still needs to be an answer and proof. That's where the laundering comes in.
I envy people with this kind of inner drive... Because, let us be real here, he "uncovered" 0.00001% of the total money being laundered every single minute... Dedicated his LIFE and family to it - but ultimately did not make as much a the tiniest "ding" into the global cartel operations.
PS: i forgot to mention that there is NO doubt in my mind that this "hero" has many millions stashed away in untraceable places (his expertise after all...). At least I HOPE SO, because otherwise the "inner drive" I mentioned earlier could easily be translated to "inner stupidity". And ONE thing this man is not...is stupíd. So...I hope he is enjoying life to the fullest......

Spot on. If the USA really cared about the addicts who are living on the pavement of every city, they would for-go their '''right'''' to live on the streets and force them into care. They would use some of all that confiscated cash to care for them. I am not into drugs of any kind; however, I do believe the whole issue, is jealousy of the cartels having all that money, it's not about the concern of the addicts.

@@deidradahl2802 Its not possible to force someone to clean up. Its only possible when the patient wants to get sober, period. The US is trying to force people with drug court but its just another govt racket that became an industry. That should be proof that you cant force a person to sober up.

Really interesting!!! That Dea agent has such a nice voice and a highly admirable moral compass. Imagine what he would be capable of if he was on the cartels side!
How does this guy take down the Medellin cartel and then turnaround and do the same to the Cali cartel!? I got a more thorough reference check for my job at a burger flipper at McDonald’s 😂😂😂😂😂
The Medellin Cartel is no longer active (since mid 90s). Even judges and prosecutors who dealt with the Medellin Cartel, and even the coronel who allegedly s*** Escobar who still live in Colombia, are no longer blurring or covering their faces. His safety is not in jeopardy.
But is it really though for him? He likely made a six figure salary for years plus likely has a very nice retirement package. Likely travels coast to coast with his retirement
This guy holds a high paying, high skill job with the cartel, as a person on government salary? Assuming he can't take a salary from the cartel, why would someone do this risk and work for a relatively low government salary? A guy with a multi million dollar ceo skillset that can be legit, plus a master actor, on government salary. Doesn't line up.
Because he doesn't get to do what he does as a CEO. You aren't working on high-stakes, international undercover operations leading up to legal cases which show up on the front pages of major newspapers as a CEO. That's what he feels his intelligence and skillset is best at. The work of a CEO is completely different. I think it's completely understandable and lines up perfectly, people don't just go for money, they go for the challenge.
@@Blashmack Appreciate the reply. I get it, sort of. I would argue that he needs to know international finance laws and regulations, plus knowledge around getting around the system, plus he needs to act the part. Whatever skill title is put on it, CEO or other, it is seriously high skill he is no slouch. I get the challenge and money isn't a driver. Part of the point of the original post I suppose opens the dialog of what law enforcement goes through which one has to appreciate. Still though, very high risks for I assume a ~100k salary current day salary for a skillset that can get paid is a tough program to recruit agents; I would imagine. All thoughts said with appreciation for law enforcement, but the cartels can replace resources easily and cheaper in comparison to the FBI Agent's salary. Such an uphill battle.
I'll tell you how to money launder and win: become DEA 🤣 I know a couple agents retired after only 10 years into Eastern Oregon. Bought beautiful ranches, trucks, side-by-sides, fricken everything, but with cash it was peculiar 🤣
It’s called credit meathead if they did steal cash they would get caught especially buying toys you really think our government agencies are total morons ? If so cross them and test you theory
Don’t doubt that at all. I knew California CHP, sheriff deputies and Arizona HP and deputies that were all just waiting for the perfect “traffic stop”. Either large amount of cocaine or cash, preferably cash. They would just take it and say “Have a nice day” full well knowing there was so much of both that nobody would ever come looking for it. Traffic Lottery is what they called it. This was 80’s and 90’s so there weren’t cameras everywhere. Yeah, bunch of them retired early.
If there was no demand, there would be no supply. I wonder if 50% of the funds spent on the “war on drugs” was instead spent on educating on the danger of using them if demand would drop 50%, 90% or whatever.
Reality not much has changed. the attempts to obscure Bitcoin transactions and end points by moving things through different wallets, exchanges and in and out of the blockchain is really just the whole money laundering process in microcosm online

The money they spent establishing his credibility would have been a fraction of what they seized as a result. Also, they didn't just blow it. They would have re-purposed or sold off everything after it served its purpose.

I’m not pro cartels or anything but I find that the undercover person has to have a certain degree of moral bankruptcy of their own. I don’t find them to be good people either.
If ppl like shows about stuff kinda like this, obviously The Wire is classic. I’ll assume ppl have seen that and similar classics like The Sopranos and BB and stuff. I’ll give some recommendations. One of the creators of The Wire did a mini series called We Own This City, it even has a cpl of the same actors. It’s good. Snowfall is solid. Mare of Easttown. Mindhunter. Then like I mentioned, We Own This City. There’s 4. They’re not all the same or extremely similar, but I love all the above mentioned classics and I love all of these. Figured I’d post this bc I’d love if ppl would give me recommendations! Hope you enjoy if you haven’t seen any of them.
Could you do a video on how to sell counterfeit spare parts for -80 degrees medical grade deep freezers, I’d find that very interesting and useful given my current situation. Ta.
This guy is the most boring badass in the world. Sure he was taking a risk of being killed if found out but he's so dis interesting who'd look. He seems like being a constant doormat worked for him because his weakness was never perceived as a threat.
the drug $ computer detail was spelled out in detail by the guy who did it all during senate hearings in the 80's but the "war on drugs" didnt do a thing about it. it was explained that the cartels back then didnt just control businesses but entire industries
Spoilers, when you can decriminalise drugs and work on treatment. This allows fewer people to remain addicted. If you can grow and trade cannabis/cocaine legally, then there is less violence. Whilst providing guidelines how to not OD. Sugar and tobacco are not regulated the same way cocaine is. Both of these ‘lesser’ drugs cause major healthy problems. So it comes down to education and managing risk. Like knowing someone who was using cannabis to help their chronic pain and deciding they needed more and more cannabis to the point they stopped from feeling too many effects from the cannabis. People, given enough information can regulate or seek treatment when they know they have gone too far. Surely we all have heard ‘one more drink’ or ‘one more smoke’ then they would stop. But that was like the 100th time they said just one more time. Yet alcohol and tobacco are not regulated enough while other drugs are over regulated. "The war" that ‘robert’ speaks of, is a created war. Definitely in part fabricated. It isn’t a solution to bring more guns to fight a trade disagreement. (I have an outsider’s perspective but also am a disinterested party to the DEA/ATF/FBI inability to see how legalisation will actual combat some of the horrific things that take place. Work on the intervention and legalisation side first)
[14:12] I believe he definitely slipped down the slope of greed, at least once during his career. He was just able to grab the branch at the edge of the cliff before going off the deep end.

One of the creators of The Wire did a mini series called We Own This City, it even has a cpl of the same actors. It’s good.
Snowfall is solid. Mare of Easttown. Mindhunter. Then like I mentioned, We Own This City. There’s 4. They’re not all the same or extremely similar, but I love all the above mentioned classics and I love all of these. Figured I’d post this bc I’d love if ppl would give me recommendations! Hope you enjoy if you haven’t seen any of them.
Could you do a video on how to sell counterfeit spare parts for -80 degrees medical grade deep freezers, I’d find that very interesting and useful given my current situation. Ta.
There's even more he doesn't know given they've been at war with the cartel for almost 2 decades and haven't done anything 😂
✔️ 32:40, unfortunately it’s not that way anymore in our own government. The level of corruption has increased substantially
I know who this is. This is Michael J. Fox.
He sounds sorta like Jason Bateman which is trippy bc of Ozark lol
massive -drug- laundering problem.
What's drug laundering?

This guy is the most boring badass in the world. Sure he was taking a risk of being killed if found out but he's so dis interesting who'd look. He seems like being a constant doormat worked for him because his weakness was never perceived as a threat.
the drug $ computer detail was spelled out in detail by the guy who did it all during senate hearings in the 80's but the "war on drugs" didnt do a thing about it. it was explained that the cartels back then didnt just control businesses but entire industries
Spoilers, when you can decriminalise drugs and work on treatment. This allows fewer people to remain addicted.
If you can grow and trade cannabis/cocaine legally, then there is less violence. Whilst providing guidelines how to not OD. Sugar and tobacco are not regulated the same way cocaine is. Both of these ‘lesser’ drugs cause major healthy problems. So it comes down to education and managing risk.
Like knowing someone who was using cannabis to help their chronic pain and deciding they needed more and more cannabis to the point they stopped from feeling too many effects from the cannabis. People, given enough information can regulate or seek treatment when they know they have gone too far.
Surely we all have heard ‘one more drink’ or ‘one more smoke’ then they would stop. But that was like the 100th time they said just one more time. Yet alcohol and tobacco are not regulated enough while other drugs are over regulated.
"The war" that ‘robert’ speaks of, is a created war. Definitely in part fabricated. It isn’t a solution to bring more guns to fight a trade disagreement. (I have an outsider’s perspective but also am a disinterested party to the DEA/ATF/FBI inability to see how legalisation will actual combat some of the horrific things that take place. Work on the intervention and legalisation side first)
haha he sounds like Bryan Cranston too
[14:12] I believe he definitely slipped down the slope of greed, at least once during his career. He was just able to grab the branch at the edge of the cliff before going off the deep end.
