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.

Can you get a tax deduction for paying a prostitute?In 2004 and 2005, a tax lawyer named deducted more than $100,000 he had paid to prostitutes for services rendered. He categorized this as a medical expense per § 213 of the tax code. He described it as “sex therapy”Now, § 213(a) does allow a deduction for medical/dental expenses. But the Treasury Regulations say you can’t get a deduction for illegal medical treatments. Since prostitution was illegal in the taxpayer’s state of New York, the Tax Court disallowed the deductionThe taxpayer also tried to deduct several thousand dollars for pornographic materials, but the Tax Court said that didn’t count as a medical expense either. The materials weren’t prescribed by a doctor, and were thus a personal expense. And the tax code doesn’t give many deductions for personal expensesSo, if you want to deduct the cost of sex therapy:• It needs to be legal in your state• It needs to be prescribed by a doctor— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
