The U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) identified that many terrorists would get away with funding their illicit activities by using businesses known as “hawalas” to launder money.

A “hawala”— which is an Arabic term defined in English as transfer (or trust)— is a method of transferring money through informal agents from international networks, and many Muslim immigrants settled in western countries use the “hawala” method to transfer funds to family members.

GAI, citing a U.S. Treasury report, found that more than $7 billion flows into Pakistan alone through hawalas every year.

Because of the informal, simple nature of the transaction, the “hawala” method has also been popular among criminals and terrorists to launder money from the U.S. to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia without a paper trail.

I often wonder if the money Soros is spending is somehow coming from tax dollars. That we are somehow paying to mess up our own country.

not surprised. so many people just about gaming systems and getting whatever they can for free or easy and sell trade etc.

Plenty of citizens do it too, even the ones in expensive cars with expensive clothes paying groceries with ebt.

It used to bother me a lot more,but now I laugh when i see it, because God knows all and will deal with each person accordingling in due time.

no real profit to gain the world but lose your soul
