    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.

    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.

They would use some of all that confiscated cash to care for them.

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 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.

      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 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.

  • @dragade101
    @dragade101 5 месяцев назад

    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)
