Anti-Money Laundering
Criminals launder money to hide criminal activity - everything from drug trafficking to tax evasion -
that generates the money. It is the means that criminals use to legitimize the money.
Although the exact amount of money laundered yearly is still not known, experts estimate that money laundering
schemes are in the billions of dollars - possibly as high as $100 billion.
Money launderers operate through layers of activities designed to hinder the detection, investigation and
prosecution of their activities. This is often accomplished by structuring transactions, establishing businesses
specifically for the purposes of manipulating accounts, or simply coercing individuals into ignoring
reporting regulations.
Additionally, launderers may physically smuggle money out of the country to evade tracking.
