Who would dare to say that “crime doesn’t pay?” Money laundering by organized crime networks clearly disproves that old adage. Money laundering is the ability of drug dealers, corrupt public officials, and criminals to hide their illegal profits and make that money available to be used in the legal market. When blowing the whistle on money laundering activity, a whistleblower must be prepared to face violent retaliation, as nothing is as strongly protected as the money laundering apparatus of a criminal network. Regardless of how the illegal money is obtained, the ultimate goal of the criminal is to be able to use the illegal money gained by using it to buy products and services in the legal market.
The ways that criminals hide illegal proceeds are very complex and often ingenious. Money laundering generally involves a series of multiple transactions used to disguise the source of financial assets. This is to allow the criminals to access the money without compromising themselves. One essential aspect of money laundering is that the illegal funds are mixed with legitimate funds. So to be
successful as a money launderer, one must have ability to mix the illegal money with extensive assets from the legal market. Modern financial systems, which facilitate legitimate commerce, also permit criminals to transfer millions of dollars instantly.
