Then, this system of gold as a currency replaced bank notes. And now, we have seen the rise of digital currencies, virtual currencies, and of course, cryptocurrencies. To understand the difference between digital, virtual, and cryptocurrency, you’ll first need to know what they are. (Explained in detail in the video) What are digital currencies? Digital currency is simple. Instead of paying in cash or coins for any transaction, you transfer the money to the other person’s bank account. This process makes the entire money transactions procedure very efficient, quick, and convenient. What are virtual currencies? Digital currencies comprise notes and coins issued by banks. Whenever you send money to another person, the bank facilitates this transaction and is the third party involved. Banks do not issue virtual currencies, but rather people create them. (Explained in detail in the video) If you send virtual currency to someone else or receive it, no third party is involved in the transaction. Cryptocurrency is an example of a virtual currency. (Explained in detail in the video) What are cryptocurrencies? Cryptocurrencies are virtual currencies created by people on a decentralized blockchain network. You can send and receive cryptocurrencies without the bank getting any information about your transactions. (Explained in detail in the video) Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, etc., are all examples of cryptocurrencies. Comparing all three First, there was normal money in the form of banknotes and coins. Then, we did transactions by exchanging notes and coins. (Explained in detail in the video) Then came digital currencies, where people could make money transactions digitally. But the issue that people found with this was that the system depended on banks. So hence, virtual currencies came up. (Explained in detail in the video) With virtual currencies, people can send money to whoever they want without the bank overseeing the transactions. Cryptocurrencies are an example of virtual currency built on blockchain technology.

Money Laundering Examples and Prevention [Video]

#moneylaundering #dirtymoney #wallstreetmojo #taxhavens #financialcrime In this video, we will cover Money Laundering: Examples and Prevention. We have covered the introduction and stages of money laundering in our previous video. Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:22 – Some examples of money laundering 02:07 – How to prevent money laundering? 02:29 – No. 1 – Making it a crime in the first place 02:49 – No. 2 – Build sound legal frameworks 03:21 – No. 3 – Integrating different governmental departments 03:49 – No. 4 – Countries cooperating 04:20 – Conclusion (Explained in detail in the video) Some examples of money laundering Pablo Escobar used to earn tons of money through his drug cartel in Mexico. He laundered his money by starting a taxi company on paper and making his drug money seem like it was coming from the taxi business. (Explained in detail in the video) There have been various reports of drug and arms dealers opening businesses or shell companies in tax haven countries like the Cayman Islands to launder their money. The criminals then set up fast food chains and all sorts of companies that have high cash flow. (Explained in detail in the video) They would then send all this money back to the bank accounts set up in the tax haven countries in the name of the shell companies. How to prevent money laundering? Making it a crime in the first place Countries, where money laundering isn’t yet a crime should first pass laws to declare it as a crime. (Explained in detail in the video) Build sound legal frameworks One can do this by strengthening the existing legal system by bringing stricter rules and policies that people and companies must follow. Integrating different governmental departments The friction and non-cooperation between several governmental departments sometimes make it difficult to crack down on money laundering. (Explained in detail in the video) What the governments should do here is to increase the cooperation between such departments and make them work in tandem. Countries cooperating The criminals have now become smart. They don’t launder their money in a single country now. (Explained in detail in the video) They make sure to have multiple countries involved and benefit from the lack of smooth communication among countries. That’s why all countries have to come together and form a network where they can share information and help prevent money laundering from happening and causing damage. (Explained in detail in the video) So, In this video we covered Money Laundering: Examples and Prevention. We have covered introduction and stages of money laundering in our previous video.

Days sales in inventory is also called days to sell inventory, inventory days, days sales of inventory, and inventory days.

Criminals like Pablo Escobar and ElChapo earn their money through crimes and get their money put into the system through money laundering. So, money laundering is getting dirty money cleaned and put into the system, making it seem like clean money. Dirty money Dirty money is something acquired through illegal means. People who get dirty money cannot show it to the authorities, or they will catch them. Cleaning of dirty money To get dirty money in the bank accounts, they must make it seem clean or legally acquired. Hence, the dirty money gets cleaned. Clean money There are many ways through which one can clean such dirty money. Once cleaned, the money is clean and can be put back into the system without tracing its origins. (Explained in detail in the video) Why is money laundering is bad? Encourages criminals to keep going Once criminals know that their dirty money can be cleaned and put back into the system as clean money, they realize there are no consequences to what they do. Hence, they continue their crimes. Harms the society These criminal activities are only harming society and putting loads of money into the pockets of the criminals. Harms the economy Any harm to society will directly harm the economy. Money laundering covers tax frauds, embezzlements, theft, and other illegal economic activities. (Explained in detail in the video) Stages of money laundering Placement The dirty money is first transferred into a bank account, mostly abroad, in those banks with very strict privacy policies. Layering The money is then divided into chunks and sent into accounts in various countries to make it hard to track by authorities. Integration The money must be brought back into the system and shown as legal. This is done by setting up a business with high cash flow on paper, and the money can be made legal through such tactics. (Explained in detail in the video) So, in this video we covered introduction and stages of money laundering. We hope you have learned much from this video.
