We've been trying to get someone to pay attention to the syndicate in our area, if average citizens can see the 'front operations' surely we can get some legel action taken. NOT, the situation is so bad in our area nobody will standup to them. Everybody is afraid of losing the money for the city, but these bozo's don't see the money isn't making it into the city. It's floating in a number of hands and is untouchable by any small NPO. And these guys are what I affectionately call the 'Green Mafia.'
It might take a happenstance like illegal money laundering offshore to open their eyes.
There could also be illegal converting and money laundering in casinos---where the perps sign up for high roller comp programs. That leaves a clear trail for the IRS since the casinos record every transaction.
