💸 Money Laundering: The Hidden Flow of Global Cash 🌍
Money laundering isn’t just a crime — it’s a massive, complex network that fuels everything from tax evasion to organized crime. But how does this hidden cash flow actually work?
1️⃣ Layering Funds: Money is moved across multiple accounts, countries, and assets to make it harder to trace. This can involve anything from fake companies to offshore bank accounts.
2️⃣ Integration into Legitimate Economy: Once funds are "cleaned," they’re invested in legal assets like real estate, stocks, or luxury goods, making them appear legitimate.
🕵️ Why it matters: Money laundering can destabilize economies, increase corruption, and inflate property markets — impacting everyone, even if indirectly. Global estimates suggest up to $2 trillion flows through these hidden channels each year!
