The scale of this article seems to not be 'crisis' worthy.
Criminal organizations, governments or oligarchs laundering 50 million dollars is nothing new or noteworthy.
- lostgame 7y agoI'd agree - it's not crisis-worthy, but it is at least technically interesting, which makes it alright to be here, IMHO. I've seen a lot of posts on the front page the last few days that seem to be losing technical relevance, or, straight-up just don't even pique my curiosity. I should find another aggregator and try to submit some quality technical stuff the next couple days. :) No point in complaining about something you can help fix.
- wiglaf1979 7y agoYep. If you do want to hear some 'crisis' worthy numbers in a similar vein as this article I highly recommend giving "Moneyland" a chance. That's where the money laundering gets bumped up into the professional level. I am glad I listen to the audiobook but man is it disheartening to hear how bad it is globally. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/01/719001286/moneyland-reveals-how-oligarchs-kleptocrats-and-crooks-stash-fortunes https://www.npr.org/2019/05/01/719001286/moneyland-reveals-h...
- Ellen_Monp 7y agoIs it just 50 million or could there be more that hasn't been reported? Is the money used to bribe officials, pay for espionage efforts worth $10b? Is a crisis based on the base value or the overall cost that comes from it?
