If you like crime dramas and movies with international intrigue, then you probably have a basic understanding of money laundering. It's how dictators, drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and other crooks avoid getting caught by transforming their ill-gotten gains into assets that appear to be legitimate.
They do it by moving the dirty money through a maze of dummy corporations and offshore bank accounts that conceal their identity and the source of the funds.
And most of it would never happen without the help -- witting or unwitting -- of lawyers, accountants and incorporators; the people who actually create these anonymous shell companies and help move the money. In fact, the U.S. has become one of the most popular places in the world to do it.

Shocked. /s
I am watching this on 60 Minutes right now. It sure puts the lawyers (except for the one) in a really bad light when it comes to money laundering.

Will 60 minutes ever have the guts to do a series on the money flowing through the Clinton Foundatin? probably not.
Didn’t finish my thought. Sorry! Theyre going after those who video taped pp? How is this any different?
Unlikely, but if they were to try, I suspect that the entire 60 Minutes production crew would experience an unfortunate deadly accident.
Meanwhile these scumbags get off scot free.
Example the clinton foundation
Not surprised. Two big banks (aka shareholders) paid billion dollar fines for laundering drug money but nary a corporate CEO, director, manager, etc. were hauled into criminal court (can you say Obama donor) by the corrupt DOJ represented by the ethics and morals bottom feeders Holder and Lynch.
For smaller amounts (a few million) the preferred method is to buy New York/L.A./Miami real estate ,,, we have a policy of not questioning cash used to buy real estate.
Now that is one hell of a Legal System we got!
