Chapter 476: A Powerful Channel

After coming out of Da Nei, Yan Kai, a tall middle-aged man, has been following Lin Xiao.

Obviously, during this period of time, until the end of the case in Charter City, the tall middle-aged man Yan Kaihui had been following Lin Xiao and waiting for his dispatch at any time, which was also ordered by the No. 1 chief.

"Actually, Chief No. 1 asked you to follow me, which is a bit overkill." Lin Xiao looked at Yan Kai, who was expressionless, and said to himself, "He gave me an order or something, as long as it was stamped with a seal, wouldn't it be enough?" You're the number one master in Ouchi.,Suddenly left Ouchi.,Chief's place.,It's always a little uncomfortable, right? ”

Yan Kai's identity is a mystery, but his strength is still very profound.

When Lin Xiao looked at the past, he found that Yan Kai's current strength was not worse than those martial arts masters at all, and there was a trace of a more mysterious aura on his body, which was a bit weird.

Of course, from the perspective of Lin Xiao's cultivator, Yan Kai is only relatively powerful, and he is naturally extremely powerful in the world, but for Lin Xiao's unpredictable means, it still can't be mentioned on the table.

"He's afraid you'll mess around." Yan Kai replied coldly.

"Hey, am I the one who messed around?" Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically.

Yan Kai didn't answer, obviously unwilling to argue with Lin Xiao on this issue, his task was very simple, that is, when Lin Xiao needed it, he would assist him in mobilizing the personnel of the armed police force, and together he would clear up the problems of the charter city, and he would not ask about other things.

Old Man Xiao was sitting in the car on the side, he closed his eyes, and suddenly asked Lin Xiao, "Speaking of money laundering, I have always been curious, how can they do this?" Don't even have any clues about financial regulation? ”

"This is not a very strange thing, the main reason is that the times are developing too fast, and the rise of some new technologies has become a new channel for money laundering." Lin Xiao replied.

In fact, not long ago, Lin Xiao also deliberately learned about money laundering, and listed many ways of money laundering in all aspects, but it still could not cover the infinite mysteries and mechanisms of money laundering in the current world.

Economic globalization and the unlimited penetration of the Internet in various industries have made the operation of money laundering pervasive and easy, and few groups who are good at playing money laundering methods operate in a rigid manner.

In the vast majority of cases, money laundering is a comprehensive technical activity and is rarely set in stone.

Under the modern legal system, which emphasizes evidence, it is necessary to grasp the handle of the target of money laundering, and in many cases, the administrative cost of a single case is much higher than the amount of money involved.

At the same time, it has to be emphasized that since the birth of the modern financial industry, it is definitely not a criminal group, a triad organization or a corrupt official in the world that has really taken the technology of money laundering to the extreme.

Sometimes, the spokesmen of the interests of the entire ideological group, the entire community, the entire country, the national alliance, etc., will consciously or unconsciously join the modern money laundering team, as the so-called there is no permanent enemy or friend, only eternal interests, this sentence is the most accurate.

"For example, for the past, there were more money laundering games in China, which were casinos and collections." Lin Xiao said to Old Man Xiao, "Many officials like to go to Macau to gamble and spend thousands of dollars, some people will think that these people are too stupid, where is the money in the casino so easy to make?" In fact, most of these people go to launder money or give bribes, and casinos are just a channel to legalize income. And collectibles, the price of this thing is too big, and some people often claim that a collectible that costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy, in what Sotheby's or Christie's auctioned tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of sky-high prices, is there really that kind of wronged boss waiting to be slaughtered? Of course, no, these people are also legalizing some illegal income for the purpose of money laundering. ”

Old Man Xiao listened, nodded, and felt that what Lin Xiao said was right, for a few years, the domestic collectibles market was bullish, but what about ordinary people who really made a lot of money, there were not a few, where did all this money go? The answer, of course, is self-evident.

Behind the hot collectibles market, there are still invisible black hands, who artificially create an inflated collectibles market price, and then disguise their ultimate goal of laundering money, and successfully realize the flight of funds.

"There is another type of online casino that is more popular now." Lin Xiao also said, "It is very convenient to use online casinos to launder money, because in many countries, online casinos are legal. ”

Money laundering in online casinos is a new form of online gambling, which has been around for less than two decades, but it is expanding rapidly. Today, more than 50 countries have given online gambling legal status.

Online gambling is definitely a fast train for money laundering, the amount of money is large, the flow is fast, it is international, and the gambling points are mostly in remote areas, these characteristics make online gambling very easy to become a money laundering tool, and it is difficult to catch evidence.

Every year, criminals use thousands of gambling sites around the world to successfully launder between $600 billion and $1.5 trillion.

"The development momentum of domestic online gambling is also very rapid, and in just two or three years, it has spread to most provinces in China." Lin Xiao said, "At present, there are two main ways to launder money through gambling websites, one is to use illegally obtained funds to open accounts anonymously on legal gambling websites for gambling, so as to achieve the purpose of confusing black money with white money." In the case of gambling, a money launderer wants to legalize a million dollars in black money, and he bets on two teams in the same game in two online casinos, one million dollars each. Then, regardless of the outcome, the money launderer will lose a million dollars on one side and recover two million dollars on the other, so that a million dollars of black money will eventually be dressed up as legal. The second is to open an account on these gambling websites, and then remit funds from different sources into this account, which is a natural temporary shelter for black money. Since many gambling sites are very loose in managing the source of customer remittances, once the time is ripe, the money launderer cancels the account on the gambling site and asks the gambling site to return the balance of the account to them in the form of a check or bank draft, thus completing the process of laundering the black money. Of course, there are some gambling sites that collude with money launderers, and some gambling sites are even designed to launder money. ”

Old Man Xiao and Yan Kai both listened attentively, obviously they didn't pay much attention to these things usually.

Yan Kai didn't say it, he was the head of the inner guard, and his mind was not in this regard, although Old Man Xiao was presiding. Period. The work of the committee should be well-informed, but at his level, there are few specific operational matters related to the problem, so he is also a little unfamiliar with some methods of money laundering.

Lin Xiao popularized the common sense of money laundering for the two of them, but he didn't say anything about the issue of Charter City.

After all, Lin Xiao asked the members of the Standing Committee to pay attention to secrecy, and it was even more difficult for him to publicize this aspect first, and everything had to wait until the dust settled over there, and it was not too late to study and summarize it carefully.

As for the method of money laundering in the charter city, it is simple to put it bluntly, the source is an online game company set up in the charter city.

Online games are a way to launder more money, and the method is naturally very simple, that is, find a few people first, then copy a game, make an official website, and then start operating the game.

By charging for the game, you can launder your money.

As long as you have money in your hands, it is not a problem to wash as much as you want, because there is basically a consensus in the industry about the game, which is a relatively money-burning thing, and high-level players are Huaxia coin warriors.

In fact, there are several Internet companies in Huaxia that specialize in this matter, which is almost an open secret.

Take online mall money laundering as an example, open an online store, use this unclean money to purchase, and then sell this batch of goods at a certain discounted price, after the sale, withdraw cash to complete the money laundering process.

In order to speed up money laundering, criminals generally choose virtual currency, recharge cards and other virtual digital products for fast transactions, and it is said that the upstream supplier of a 3DS game seller on the online mall is related to the underground bank.

Of course, online shopping malls open stores and launder money or something, it is a relatively simple and crude way, in fact, there are many online tools that can help money laundering.

All in all, since the rise of the Internet, money laundering has become very easy, there is only a handle that you can't catch, and there is no method that money launderers can't think of.

It is often the regulators who have discovered a method of money laundering, and they have already created more advanced methods of money laundering.

This can really be called "the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high".

The most troublesome point is that sometimes they know that people are laundering money through some channel, but the regulator still doesn't dare to speak, turn a blind eye, and intentionally indulge, this is because the power behind them is too strong to offend.

Broadly speaking, many ways of money laundering are related to the Internet, and it is difficult to describe them for a while.

Fundamentally speaking, it is better to block than to loosen, and the problems of the system have led to the creation of a large number of rent-seeking spaces, which in turn have generated a lot of gray income, some people don't care, and some people want to wash their hands.

In addition, the government's inaction or inaction is not timely and incomplete, but also from the side of the rampant money laundering, on the other hand, the government wants to make a difference, it is really not easy, and only find out together, find out together, more things, but there is some powerless.

"After all, the water in here is too deep, and we can only catch those big fish to kill them, it is impossible to cover everything, this is unrealistic, and we can't do it." When Lin Xiao talked about this matter, he couldn't help but have a headache.

As a new generation of discipline inspection and supervision cadres, Lin Xiao is of course full of vitality, but when he encounters this kind of thing, he also feels a little powerless, which is not something that can be solved by cultivators.
