When it comes to the field of "money laundering", the most famous case is the money laundering case of US President Richard Nixon.
In the 1970s, the media exposed the "Watergate Incident", and as the situation developed, people unexpectedly found that the campaign team of US President Nixon transferred all the illegal political donations obtained from bribes to Mexico, and then transferred the funds back to the United States as overseas investments through a company in Miami.
This time, the bribe payment became legal income.
With the economic globalization and the internationalization of financial services, joining hands to combat money laundering groups and eliminate money laundering activities has become a consensus among various countries, but international money laundering groups are not dry food, more and more financial professionals have joined, and money laundering methods have become more and more hidden and diverse.
Around the end of 2016, a money launderer named "Wolf Girl" suddenly gained fame on Wall Street.
Because, no matter the size of the bank, even if it is a well-known bank such as Citi, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan, there must always be a few "not very well-behaved" big customers, so that they have to put down their bodies and try their best to provide good customer service.
In this process, if you want to find a clear and clear way to get money, you must find someone like a "wolf girl" to cooperate.
This abrupt rise of the "wolf girl", characterized by boldness, any "work" dare to take, do things in a variety of ways, it is obvious that she has a very professional financial team behind the support.
No one knows the true identity of the "Wolf Girl", only that she is from Russia and contacts customers through an encrypted network, which makes all parties involved in the transaction feel very relieved.
However, the paper always can't contain the fire, and the reputation of the "wolf girl" is getting louder and louder, which naturally attracts the attention of the police.
As mentioned before, she was extremely careful in her actions, and even the police who were pursuing her could not do anything for a while.
However, no one expected that this high-profile money laundering case would slide in a strange direction...
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, society experienced a period of turmoil, at which time Russian gangsters unexpectedly flourished.
Fighting nations, needless to say, fists and force are the best passports, and gangster forces are rapidly expanding into Eastern Europe, North America and Southeast Asia, while a large number of "black gold" returns to Russia, triggering a huge amount of money laundering business.
According to estimates by the Central Bank of Russia, between 2000 and 2005, at least 10 of Russia's top 25 largest banks may have been associated with triad organizations, and those small banks and financial institutions could not be counted at all.
Money laundering allows banks to obtain high profits, and the laundered money allows the gangs to expand their strength, and the two sides join hands to promote each other and benefit each other.
It was also in this context that Russia launched a massive anti-money laundering operation.
Given that this "Wall Street wolf girl", the legend is Russian, then, the Russian police, who have a wealth of experience in fighting, have adopted a completely different angle to break the situation.
According to years of experience, these people engaged in money laundering activities will have some commonalities, such as a love of showing off wealth, which the Russian police attribute to "psychological disorders".
As a result, the police gradually adjusted their direction and focused on the "big gold chain and small gold watch" of the rich crowd, unexpectedly, actually found a breakthrough.
Attracted the attention of the Russian police was a female university student studying at the Faculty of Economics of the Plekhanov University of Economics: Anastasia tsirenschikova.
Anastasia was born in 1994, a senior in the School of Economics, at first glance, she is no different from the average female college student, young, beautiful, only like to show off rich photos, from clothes, bags, luxury cars, mansions, top apartments, high-end food, almost everything, it seems to be able to afford the look of the whole world, which seems very abnormal.
Therefore, the police followed this clue to investigate, the process we will not repeat, the investigation found that the then 22-year-old senior girl, is the "Wall Street wolf girl."
The result was a surprise, and the most surprising thing was that the money laundering queen from Russia, plus her team, there were only five people!
Anastasia studied at the Plekhanov University of Economics, Russia's top economics school, and she is also a highly qualified student in the Department of Economics.
Through a classmate, Anastasia met Mikhail Gomma, a loan officer at the Moscow Credit Bank, and the three of them formed the backbone of the money laundering team.
Anastasia and her classmates are practical in their knowledge, the loan officer Gemma is also a professional counterpart, and she has also found two import and export merchants from the customers she has previously contacted.
Because of their business relationship, the two businessmen have bank accounts in many countries, facilitating the transfer of funds.
The illegal income, through these accounts, after some tossing and turning, becomes legal and eventually passes to the designated bank account in Panama, the tax haven.
From this lean and capable team, it is entirely clear why money laundering crimes are always prohibited.
First, the action is extremely flexible.
With the participation of a master like Anastasia, five people can do things, even if two of them are still college students.
Second, money laundering is really incense!
When the money laundering queen from Russia was arrested, more than $5 million in deposits were found in the private accounts of her and her accomplices.
These more than 5 million are almost all money laundering commissions, according to the 2.5% commission that can be drawn per business, in just two years, they have at least more than 200 million US dollars of "black gold"!
No one does the loss-making business, and the beheading business is done.
Capital is most afraid of no profit or profit is too low, 50% of the profit will be desperate to take risks, 100% of the profit will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, 300% of the profit will dare to risk hanging.
Not to mention money laundering, which is almost a buy and sell of money in situ?
In order to be able to make money in situ, even if it explodes in situ, some people are willing to do it!
But in this world, there is no ill-gotten wealth that can escape the restoration of the Skynet, please see who the heavens have spared!
