The Bank Secrecy Act should be deployed ASAP: Under the BSA, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of govt fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, and other financial crimes.
“The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
L/E needs to use the Bank Secrecy Act to examine the drug swindlers' bank accounts:
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate collusion and conspiracy. Swindled govt monies may subsidize credit card fraud, real estate fraud and fraudulent vehicle purchases.
<><> To cover their tracks, the swindlers govt might fake and forge invoices---falsifying money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes---not drug proceeds.
<><> The swindlers' scheme might include forged/phony statements of payments from federal and state sources that actually covered the transfer of drug proceeds.
<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC other accounts, to operate criminal drug activities. The fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intrabank transfers from drug-related accounts into personal accounts.
<><> A huge tipoff is bank withdrawals supporting luxurious lifestyle---luxury real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel and gifts from luxury outlets for S/O's.
============================================
NEED TO SEE DRUG SWINDLERS' (1) check copies, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records. L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
NEED TO KNOW DRUG SWINDLERS' M/O: Suspicious activities might include (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
Taxpayers should DEMAND the Bank Secrecy Act be deployed to investigate this fraud...... pronto.

NY POST-- Mexican cartels dispatch agents deep inside US - spread into non-border states
CHICAGO (AP) — Excerpt--Mexican drug cartels whose operatives once rarely ventured beyond the US border are dispatching some of their most trusted agents to live and work deep inside the United States — an emboldened presence that experts believe is meant to tighten their grip on the world's most lucrative narcotics market and maximize profits. If left unchecked, authorities say, the cartels' move into the American interior could render the syndicates harder than ever to dislodge and pave the way for them to expand into other criminal enterprises such as prostitution, kidnapping-and-extortion rackets and money laundering.
Some cartels even have Mexican operatives fill out job applications before being dispatched to the US, Riley added.
In Mexico, the cartels are known for a staggering number of killings — more than 50,000, according to one tally. Beheadings are sometimes a signature. So far, cartels don't appear to be directly responsible for large numbers of slayings in the United States, though the Texas Department of Public Safety reported 22 killings and five kidnappings in Texas at the hands of Mexican cartels from 2010 through mid- 2011. Still, police worry that increased cartel activity could fuel heightened violence.--SNIP--
In Chicago, the police commander who oversees narcotics investigations, James O'Grady, said street-gang disputes over turf account for most of the city's uptick in murders last year, when slayings topped 500 for the first time since 2008.
Although the cartels aren't dictating the territorial wars, they are the source of drugs. Riley's assessment is stark: He argues that the cartels should be seen as an underlying cause of Chicago's disturbingly high murder rate. "They are the puppeteers," he said. "Maybe the shooter didn't know and maybe the victim didn't know that. But if you follow it down the line, the cartels are ultimately responsible."
