- msie 7y agoMost of the stuff by global news is written by Sam Cooper. If you read his pieces he reports on a lot of hear-say, letting the reader's imagination fill in the pieces. Also he likes to inflate the effect of money laundering such that it is the source of all the problems: high real estate prices and the opioid drug epidemic - which is highly simplistic. In a way he is giving what the people want. If you read the government report on money laundering, they don't really go into detail about how they came up with that 5 billion dollar figure. And then they estimate the effect of money laundering could affect RE prices from 5-20%. So, a lot of guessing. A billion here, a billion there...who cares, right? All the reporters just report on these numbers as facts.
