You're always going to look a little specious walking into any sort of business transaction with a bank of cash.

The way they're approaching the banks is they don't care whether the banks are going to flag the amount of money.

They don't care.

They're regularly depositing much more than $10,000.

And basically, they know that the bank is flagging this, and they know that the bank could at some point shut down the account.

But in their experience, the bank doesn't do that very fast.

So banks, you know, if they file a bunch of reports for an account, usually they'll shut it down after maybe like three suspicious activity reports or something like that.

That could take them months to do that.

It takes a while to file suspicious activity reports.

These money launderers are using fake passports.

They're opening new accounts.

They're recruiting people from the street.

So they're just operating with complete disregard for the U.S.

anti-money laundering system.

They just know that by the time it does anything, they'll have already moved millions of dollars through an account.

No, I don't think they do.

And I think right now we're having a big push by the Trump administration.

We had this push previously in other administrations to try to reform this system to some degree.

But it's hard.

It's hard to design a system that stops money laundering as it happens.
