Dirty money piling up in L.A. as coronavirus cripples international money laundering

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-29/coronavirus-slows-money-laundering-to-a-crawl

Dirty money is piling up in Los Angeles. In the last three weeks, federal agents made three seizures that each netted more than $1 million in suspected drug proceeds.

The reason, according to the city’s top drug enforcement official: The coronavirus pandemic has slowed trade-based money laundering systems that drug trafficking groups use to repatriate profits and move Chinese capital into Southern California.
