Chapter 006

Not being able to call the police means that there is no way to get the money back. This kind of thing has happened to no one.

After all, they are not clean things, and there is no way to avoid cheating. Compared with going to Hong Kong and Macao to find a familiar black intermediary and spending some money to solve this risk, the risk of using gambling websites on the Internet is greater.

People with traditional ideas cannot trust gambling websites at all, just like some elderly people cannot accept online banking.

Even some people over 70 dare not use self-service banking machines to deposit money because they are familiar with face-to-face cash transactions over the counter.

It is difficult to change something after being accustomed to it for a long time. This suspect is used to going to the casino face to face to solve problems, so he cannot trust the things on the gambling website. He is worried about what might happen.

At this point, Xu Yun could tell that he was a cautious guy.

"Based on some of the information we have now, it seems that he has not laundered money through online gambling." Qin Waner shook her head: "Maybe he has not done any research in that area."

"It's not that there is no research." Xu Yun smiled and shook his head: "It's that there is no trust."

Qin Wan'er frowned: "Don't Hong Kong and Macao know about this? Why don't they conduct stricter supervision on money laundering?"

"In fact, in view of the current situation of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing in Hong Kong and Macao, the Hong Kong and Macao Financial Intelligence Office publishes the statistical results of suspicious transaction reports every year." Xu Yundao: "Every year, there are close to one or two thousand reports of suspicious transactions in the gaming industry in Hong Kong and Macao, and every year there are

A huge increase.”

"For the casino industry as developed as Hong Kong and Macau, this report is nothing at all, right?" Qin Waner said.

Xu Yun nodded: "Yes, it is indeed nothing. Compared with the traffic of gamblers from Hong Kong and Macao, this report is just a drop in the bucket."

"Since there is a report, why would anyone take the risk?" Qin Waner said puzzledly: "I thought there was no one in Hong Kong and Macao to supervise it."

"Of course there is supervision, it depends on the 'reliable' gambling intermediary, which is the kind of black intermediary I am talking about." Xu Yun said: "The suspect you are investigating must have a reliable intermediary. He

You don’t need to worry about fraud, all your information will be safe and protected.”

A serious gaming promoter is an independent operator who has a contract with the casino. They will use various incentives to attract customers who gamble in their VIP rooms.

Generally they will choose customers with high asset value rather than ordinary citizens. They rely on commissions or various fees to maintain their business.

Loopholes in the activities of gaming promoters allow some people to use third parties to transfer large amounts of money to other places and casinos. Customers generally rely on gaming promoters to allocate funds for them, which makes it difficult to identify the source of the funds and the identity of the customer.

If gaming junkets collude with customers to carry out money laundering activities, or even criminals use them to integrate illegal funds with legal funds, this will make it more difficult to identify the source of funds and the identity of customers.

This kind of person who colludes with customers to carry out black money laundering activities is what Xu Yun calls a black intermediary.

Promoters may also send money on behalf of their clients, but the identities of the junket clients are not known to the financial institutions or casinos responsible for sending and receiving the payments.

Based on the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing supervision requirements of Hong Kong and Macao, gaming intermediaries and their agents must conduct customer due diligence on their clients. At this time, it depends on whether the relationship between the money launderer and the intermediary is "close" enough.

In fact, as long as the intermediary is honest enough, it will not be easy for money launderers to start.

Intermediaries can actually make a relatively easy judgment on whether a customer wants to launder money. Customers who want to launder money will definitely refuse to reveal their identity, and will definitely use a representative or a third party to buy chips in cash and play with them.

In the case of small losses, the intermediary was asked to redeem the cash and refused to disclose the source of funds for buying chips.

Moreover, if the value of the chips purchased by the customer is not commensurate with his or her profession, he or she is basically a money launderer. If the customer requires the intermediary to issue a check for an amount lower than the reporting threshold, then there is basically no way he can escape, and he is 100% a money launderer.

"You just said that the suspect has children overseas, so it is safer for him to use casinos in Hong Kong and Macao than gambling websites." Xu Yundao: "He can use black intermediaries and casino VIP rooms to transfer money between countries.

funds."

Qin Wan'er actually didn't understand these things: "What do you mean?"

"You also know that due to foreign exchange controls, large-amount remittances cannot be made from our country to other countries. But with the help of a black intermediary, the suspect can transfer the funds to the VIP room of a casino he is familiar with, and the suspect can transfer the funds to other countries.

The VIP room notifies some underground bank remitter in the country where his children are located, and the remitter will then arrange for the necessary funds to be paid to his children abroad."

Qin Wan'er suddenly realized: "It sounds complicated, but it seems to be a very simple thing."

Xu Yun nodded: "In fact, it is a very simple truth, but people who have not been exposed to this aspect will find it quite complicated."

"How do you know so much?" Qin Waner was stunned for a moment: "Your Tianyu Group didn't launder money, did it?"

"The money of Tianyu Group is clean enough, so you can rest assured." Xu Yun smiled bitterly: "And you think I know a lot, but in fact I only know a little bit about it. Maybe there are many things inside than we imagined.

It’s even more complicated.”

Qin Wan'er took a crab and handed it to Xu Yun: "You already know a lot. If you know a little more, then you will really become a spirit."

"Perhaps what I know is not useful for money laundering. However, it might be useful to help you solve this case," Xu Yundao said.

"You are so busy, how dare I ask a big president of your Tianyu Group to do such a small thing for me." Qin Waner shook her head: "I can't afford the commission."

"Didn't you say that you wanted me to bring Sister Qingshuang and Qiu Yan to eat spicy crab together?" Xu Yun smiled slightly.

Qin Wan'er said kindly: "I didn't just say this casually. I really have this idea. I am sincere and I will never deceive you."

"Then do you want to go to Hong Kong and Macao and try the spicy crab under the bridge that I mentioned in the authentic food stall style?" Xu Yun asked.

Qin Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Xu Yun in surprise. She already understood what Xu Yun was thinking.

"Actually, we can go to Hong Kong and Macao to try the 'authentic' spicy crab under the bridge, and then have another meal when we come back to compare and see if Shenjiang is 'authentic' enough." Xu Yun smiled slightly and looked at Qin Waner.

Seriously.
