sense of ill will is required.

Money laundering is the process of transforming the proceeds of crime into ostensibly legitimate
money or other assets.
The most common criminals who launder money are drug traffickers, embezzlers, corrupt politicians
and public officials, mobsters, terrorists and con artists.
Drug traffickers need money laundering because they deal almost exclusively in cash.
The basic money laundering process has three steps: placement, layering and integration.
Placement is the step when the launderer inserts the dirty money into a legitimate financial institution.
Layering involves sending the money through various financial transactions to change its form and
make it difficult to follow.
Integration is the stage when the money re-enters the mainstream economy in legitimate-looking form
and it appears to come from a legal transaction.
There is a finite number of organizations and the number is constantly changing.
The most popular money laundering techniques are: black market Colombian peso exchange,
structuring deposits, overseas banks, underground/alternative banking, shell companies and investing
in legitimate businesses.
Smurfing is the breaking up of large amounts of money into smaller, less-suspicious amounts.
The most popular currency for money laundering is the U.S. dollar.
The effect of successful money laundering is the encouragement of criminals to continue their illicit
schemes because they get to spend their profit with no repercussions.
The economic effects of money laundering are devastating to developing countries because they lack
sufficient regulation for their newly privatized financial sectors.
Terrorisms connection with money laundering developed because the financers and terrorist
organizations wanted to maintain anonymity.
To fight money laundering the FATF issued the 49 Recommendations for banks.
The penalties are incarceration, fines, probation, civil litigation, and much more.
