The Money Launderers
By
Bob Blunden
During the Vietnam war hawalla dealers bought American Gls' pay cheques at a discount, which were then encashed at par by their associates in New York. Gold bought with the cash was smuggled back to Vietnam to be sold in the black market at exorbitant prices.
Credit card data stolen by dishonest store assistants are sent to Hong Kong, Where duplicate cards are forged. Italian mafia buy these to sell them to Russian thugs who buy high quality goods that end up on the shelves of Moscow departmental stories. Many claim that the term money laundering owes is origins to Al Capone and Bugsy Moran, Who used coin-operated laundromats to disguise earnings from gambling, prostitution, racketeering and bootlegging.
