Money Laundering
International Whistleblower Representation
Money laundering refers to the activities and financial transactions that are undertaken with the intent to hide the true source of the money. In many cases, the money involved is earned from an illegal enterprise and the goal is to give that money, often referred to as "dirty" money, the appearance of coming from a legitimate source (i.e. "clean").
Two of the most common methods used to launder money involve:
- Moving the money out of the United States and then bringing it back in a clean form, often disguised as loan proceeds
- Channeling or co-mingling the money through a variety of business activities to give the appearance that the money was earned from a legal source
Money laundering has the potential to adversely impact the global economy.
