America’s Big Hero

The impact of wiping out the Salamanga family is bigger than Sean imagined.

Those guys in Jersey City who hated Sean had given up.

They had reasons to hate Sean, many of them had people who were suddenly killed by Sean, and some of them were the boss, the new boss... Well, the new boss may not hate Sean, but he has to express it.

The most important thing is that Sean asked each of them to pay $100,000 to settle the matter of betraying him before.

That was $100,000, and no one, including the newcomers, was willing to pay it.

But now the situation is stronger than people, so someone contacted Xiao En the next day to send money.

So, on October 14th, Saul was hurriedly called by Sean again. As soon as he entered the door, he was taken aback. There were rolls of dollars piled up on the bed in the room. He had never seen so much money. , For a while, Sol watched in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

This speaks volumes for the real possibility that I could become a billionaire if everyone gave me a dollar.

"Saul, I need your help now. The damn American financial review measures are too strict, but any deposits of more than 10,000 US dollars will be reported to the IRS (Yingda was judged as money laundering and arrested for this matter. )."

"I want to start a company. I'm afraid of the IRS. So, turn it into legal money and put it in my pocket." Sean pointed to the mountain of dollar bills on the bed, and then pointed to his pocket .

"Cash?" Saul shook his head in surprise, "Sean, I'm a lawyer, lawyer, lawyer, I'm not those vampires on Wall Street, I can't do this."

"You're a slick Jimmy, you have a lot of tricks, think of a way for me, I don't want to find a Wall Streeter, I don't want to give my handle to anyone so easily." Sean spread his hands, "Besides, you are a lawyer, No one knows the law better than you, and knows how to take advantage of legal loopholes. I have always felt that lawyers are the most criminal group, and none of them."

"Damn it, let me think about it, let me think about it." Saul walked around the room a few times, threw himself into the pile of money, and breathed in the scent of money, "To launder money, you must first understand what is money. Launder money!"

"The first money launderers were your fellow Polish Jews, the great criminal genius Mr. Meyer Lansky, founder of the American Mafia, founder of the Disciplinary Committee, Genovese, New York The first boss of the crime family, Italian Charlie Luciano's closest partner, helped him build a gambling empire from Saratoga to Miami, and even Las Vegas, and he also has a very large influence in Cuba , and even rigged the election of the Cuban president, who famously said, 'We are stronger than American steel'."

"Mr. Lansky passed away three years ago. The movie Once Upon a Time in America released in February this year was based on him. He started the earliest money-laundering activities in the 1930s, and later entered Wall Street to engage in financial crimes. He is a A true genius, in the mid-1970s, Fobole expressed despair and gave up monitoring him. Until his death, Fobole had nothing to do with him."

"Since then, there has been the term money laundering. Simply put, money laundering refers to the act or activity of concealing and disguising criminal proceeds and their illegal proceeds. According to Mr. Lansky's successful experience, we summarize money laundering into three aspects: Steps: disposal, segregation and consolidation."

"Disposition: Commingling criminal proceeds or stolen money with other legitimate proceeds."

"Segregation: It is to conceal the source and true ownership relationship of criminal funds, and to conceal their illegal characteristics."

"Incorporation: It is the transfer of laundered criminal proceeds or funds to the accounts of legitimate organizations or individuals with no apparent connection to criminal organizations or individuals, thereby completing the entire money laundering process."

"There are currently five major categories of money laundering methods. The first is currency smuggling. Cash is sent abroad through smuggling channels, such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Bahamas, and Switzerland. These countries do not have such strict financial review measures as the United States. They don't care where your money comes from, they will deposit it for you directly, and then transfer it to the country through some means, and the IRS rarely checks such things across borders."

Sean shook his head, it was too rough. He remitted a large amount of money to himself from overseas for no reason. Anyone who is not a fool will know that there is a problem here.

"Second, currency exchange. Money launderers use the foreign exchange black market to exchange the stolen money obtained from crimes into currencies of other countries. The other party will deposit the money into your designated account overseas. As for the original money, how the other party handles it is another matter. It is possible that this kind of activity is also carried out in other countries."

Sean also shook his head, no different from the first one.

Saul shrugged and continued: "Third, buy real estate, securities, and insurance, and then use the form of return on investment or surrender of insurance to make the stolen money obtained from crime a legal cloak. Well, this is not suitable for your requirements."

"Fourth, market intermediaries such as consulting companies, financial companies, and law firms are used to launder money. Since these companies are not specifically engaged in the sale and purchase of goods, and financial accounts are mostly in the form of fees for providing consulting and entrusting agents, so It’s easy to transfer funds.”

"Don't look at me like that, yes, it's what you think, such as those 'lobbying firms', 'consulting firms', and 'revolving door firms' active in Washington or the capitals of the districts, many of which provide legal services to government officials and some congressmen. income, it’s not illegal, of course, it’s not for you, you don’t have any convincing lobbying power.”

"Why didn't I, I convinced a lot of people yesterday!" Sean said with a smirk, "They all accepted my suggestion readily and didn't express any dissatisfaction. I can really set up a consultation company, is a good idea."

"Really, pointing a gun at someone's head, I don't fucking think it's lobbying, you're a threat, a red-blooded crime." Sol rolled his eyes.

Sean shrugged his shoulders, "It's not a threat if no one tells you something, right, and it's really practical, isn't it!"

Sean is not satisfied with the four methods, and Saul can only say the last and the most stupid method, setting up a business, "You will have more and more black money in the future, so I suggest you start some companies."

"How should I say it?" Sean is really not familiar with this, even in his previous life, he had never bothered about washing money.
