💸 **The Shadow Network: Tracing the Hidden Flows of Dirty Money** 🌍  

Illicit money flows are the dark undercurrent of the global economy, funding corruption, crime, and inequality. But how does this vast hidden network operate?  

📜 **False Paper Trails:**  
Criminals and tax evaders create fake invoices, manipulate trade data, and forge documentation to disguise the origin of their funds.  

🏝️ **Tax Havens:**  
Offshore jurisdictions offer secrecy and minimal regulation, making them perfect for hiding wealth and avoiding taxes.  

💻 **Cyber Shadows:**  
Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology provide a fast, decentralized way to move money across borders, leaving fewer traces.  

💡 **Why it matters:**  
The shadow network fuels instability, widens inequality, and costs governments billions in lost tax revenue annually. Experts estimate up to **$2 trillion** flows through these hidden channels each year.
