I can’t say I was ever lost, but I was bewildered once for
three days.
Daniel Boone, pioneer
Our life is frittered away by detail.…Simplify, simplify.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
As we approach some of the more complicated of the money
laundering schemes, it’s good to remind ourselves of some
reassuring facts:
1. No matter what scheme the criminal employs, he or
she will be forced to live by certain rules that are
beyond his or her ability to change.
2. Once the launderer opts for a scheme involving a
bank or business, records of transactions are auto-
matically generated. This is evidence we can use, if
only we can nd it.
