Chapter 1190 Money Laundering
In the Caribbean, St. John's Free Trade Zone in "Antigua and Barbuda", this is a beautiful place that attracts many tourists every year.
At this time, a tourist named Qiu Xiaochi appeared on the golden mountains surrounding St. John's, and observed with a telescope a non-descript office building not far away.
Qiu Xiaochi, a member of the intelligence team Ghost, gave himself such a code name because of his similar appearance to Wu Xingguo.
In 1994, Antigua and Guatemala in Central America (not a melon above) passed the "Free Trade and Processing Zone Law" and established a FSRC department. When the network was not yet developed, it was issued and issued by this department. Administers operating licenses for online casinos.
At that time, this move did not attract attention, but from today's point of view, it can be said to be far-sighted.
In the same year, a software development company called Microgaming was established. This company focuses on the development of Internet gaming software and has become a software supplier for many leading casinos and gaming websites.
In 1997, Australians were the first to open casinos online. At that time, there were only a dozen online gambling sites, most of which were in the Caribbean, with an annual business volume of no more than US$100 million. Four years later, such sites have grown to more than 1,400, with a turnover of $3.2 billion.
A common feature of many of the most successful companies from the late 1990s to early 2000s was the advancement of land-based technology, including Interops, Party Poker and PokerStars.
Party Gaming, the parent company of Party Poker, became one of the first gaming operators to be listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2005.
Although Antigua and Guatemala were the first to discover the value of an online casino license, it was Antigua and Barbuda (abbreviated as Amba) that got the benefits. In just a few years, online gambling has completely swept the country of Amba. A Caribbean paradise of silvery beaches and golden mountains, Amba is also known as the incredible capital of online gambling.
Explicit sports gambling, online lotteries, elaborately simulated online casinos complete with cocktail waitresses and jam bands. Within minutes, deposit money on a credit card and play a range of live-action casino games including blackjack, roulette, poker, craps, and bet on virtually any sport.
What Qiu Xiaochi is observing is Asia Gaming, a company operating online casino business. This is a small company. It was established less than three years ago. The hacker group Freedom Fighters under the Advanced Defense Group has already downloaded According to its database, the statistics show that the turnover is as much as 1.5 billion US dollars, but after analysis, the income of the website is less than 60 million US dollars.
The comparison of this figure is obviously unreasonable. Online websites are different from offline physical casinos. The comparison between turnover and income will not be too disparate. It is not face-to-face gambling in a small environment, there is a very large room for manipulation, Program control, live broadcast signal delay, etc., there are countless technical means to manipulate the player's winning rate.
Even if the website operates in good faith, it will set a profit rate. Under the premise of ensuring the profit, the game will be as fair as possible. There are lucky and unlucky players. There will be a certain probability of players winning money , As for who wins and loses, it depends on everyone's own luck.
There is an essential difference between this kind of website and that kind of fraudulent website. The fraudulent website will give players a little sweetness first, and when the player falls into the trap and the amount of recharge on the website reaches a certain level, they will find one or another reason to make the player unable to Withdraw cash, and there will be traps buried in the reason. Some stupid players will fall into the pit twice and recharge a lot of money.
The last time Nanyi heard Lan Guidong mention it, saying that the Philippines issued online gambling licenses, and many people have already gone there to operate fraudulent websites. He also took aim at dirty websites full of advertisements. After a quick glance, I did see advertisements for several gambling websites. I pinged the domain name, and the IP address of the server was indeed from Southeast Asia.
The abnormal data of Asian online casinos, as well as the prefix of Asia in the name, have revealed that it is not a gambling website in the conventional sense. In addition, this line is followed all the way from China, and it is basically certain that Asian online casinos are secretly still there. There is another main business "money laundering".
Gambling websites have not been developed for a long time, but they have formed a money laundering model with intertwined light and dark rules. Some websites openly provide such services to people who have money laundering needs, and they can sit down and talk slowly about how to operate and how to charge.
Some websites "do not provide" this kind of service, but the money into the website account loses a certain percentage, and the player can ask the website to transfer the remaining money into the designated account.
The website does not say clearly, let special players realize it by themselves. The advantage of this is that they are obviously involved in money laundering activities, but they will not be caught. Everything the website does is legal in the country where it is registered. It can be said that it has good service and reputation, and no one can produce evidence to accuse it of money laundering.
The reason why Qiu Xiaochi was sent to Anba to investigate the situation of Asian online casinos is inseparable from several rumors in the business circles of the capital.
Some people say that Huang Guomei lost 600 to 700 million in Omen, while others say that the amount is not uniform, but they are all quite a lot. Hearing this rumor, Nan Yi asked Lan Guidong and got a reply: Huang Guomei did go to Omen often, but the money he lost was not that exaggerated, it was just kept within the scope of entertainment.
Some people say that Huang Guomei lost more than 4 billion yuan in the futures in 2005, including bank loans and funds from powerful people. Some people also say that Huang Guomei often plays on gambling websites.
Some people say that Xiao Huang has a "money laundering and arbitrage center" that has laundered tens of billions of yuan in large-scale money laundering and arbitrage over the years. This was confirmed by Nanyi from Luo Qianqian. In 2006, when the relevant departments investigated Huang Guomei's brothers , It was found that nearly 400 million funds were transferred overseas by Huang Guomei, and there is no clear conclusion so far about how the money was transferred out and whether money laundering was involved in it.
A key factor is that a large number of complicated accounts between nearly a hundred tool companies under Huang Guomei concealed this money laundering path, so it is very difficult to investigate and deal with Huang Guomei's money laundering charges.
Nan Yi once asked Luo Qianqian whether she subjectively believed that Huang Guomei was laundering money, and Luo Qianqian answered "yes".
After that, Nanyi inquired secretly. In 2006, Huang Guomei was taken away by the public security organ for investigation. Many issues had not yet had time to be interrogated. Guangyu Electric Co., Ltd. carried out targeted responses. The interest groups behind Huang Guomei were like rattlesnakes. Stealth makes the investigation of the public security department fall into a very passive situation.
In the end, the public security agency had no choice but to take a long line to catch big fish and released Huang Guomei, but the investigation has not been terminated.
Caught and released, it means that the investigation encountered resistance, Nanyi can think of the resistance with his toes, and the investigation will continue after he is released, which shows that Huang Guomei has been found to have a problem, but the evidence is not enough to bite him to death.
Later, Nanyi opened a file for Huang Guomei.
It's not out of personal interests. Baishui's investment in Guangyu Electric Appliances is a normal investment behavior. Luo Shenshen saw that it was profitable, and his original intention was not to pay dividends, and he didn't care about Huang Guomei's operation that harmed the interests of shareholders.
PY Securities is a normal business relationship. A long time ago, PY Securities has carried out business related to the listing of enterprises. When Guangyu Electric was listed, PY Securities participated in its stock underwriting business and kept part of the shares in its hands.
To put it simply, whether it is Whitewater Investment or PY Securities, their establishment of contact with Guangyu Electric Appliances is not intentional, but an accident in the normal course of business development.
Nanyi's focus on Huang Guomei is not purely because of profit, this can only be said to be an accessory, but because of a certain degree of advantage, stabbing Huang Guomei's interest groups is beneficial to the country, and Nanyi's own friendly relatives and friends Also beneficial.
For example, most of Huang Guomei's loans come from Guoming Bank. Although Fan Guangfu has retired, all the people on his line are still in the system. Some of them need others to show their style and give them chairs.
...
In Hong Kong, a chartered plane is flying to Bangkok with family members of the international business department of the Hong Kong branch of Southern Bank.
This is the first time that Nanguo Bank organizes a trip for the family members of employees. The previous travel benefits were initiated by the employees, and the family members were only covered. This time it is different, only the family members, and the employees do not go to work as usual.
It was Saturday, and just after the charter flight took off for a while, Nanyi's flight landed.
I drove to the orphanage of Po Leung Kuk, walked to a lawn, and watched Nan Ruoqiong and the children playing with the eagle and catching chickens there.
After a while, the top card Xie Wanhua came to him.
"Nan Sheng."
Nan Yi turned his face and stared at the face of the head card for a while, "It has added a lot of wrinkles."
"Nan Sheng, I'm fifty-five this year."
Nan Yi smiled lightly and said: "Oh, the old lady is getting old, but it's okay, she just added some wrinkles, her hair is still shiny, and her figure is not out of shape."
"I do exercise."
The head card bit his lip lightly, showing the posture of a little woman, stirring the time flow back in an instant.
"Hiss, the capillary stands up." Nan Yi rubbed his arm, and said with a smile, "No wonder your husband is like a skinny monkey, you have sucked up all his emotional yang."
"Nansheng"
"Okay, don't make fun of your husband." Nan Yi's face became serious, "It's fifty-five, it's time to enjoy life thoroughly, and I want to retire."
The head card smiled, "I have been retired for twenty-two years."
"Then back a second time."
The two chatted about retirement for a while before they got down to business.
"Is it only Huang Wenlong?"
The head card replied: "There may be more than one. There are many abnormalities in the data of the public business department."
"This is your dereliction of duty. Miao Zhihua has already greeted me, but you didn't notice." Nan Yi said with a frown.
"It's my fault." The head card looked ashamed.
Nan Yi waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't blame you all. The bank's anti-money laundering department has to take the main responsibility, shovel the family, pull my people into the water, and let my bank take the blame..."
After cursing for a while, Nanyi said again: "Have you shaken people?"
"Mexicoville Bank Cleanup Portal Squad."
"Protect Huang Wenlong, he has fallen into the sight of the wealth investigation team, he cannot die, let him go to Stanley alive."
The top card showed a look of embarrassment, "Nan Sheng, it's a bit difficult. The counter has a gun in his hand, and Huang Wenlong is the counter's own person. When he is close to him, he may be killed by the counter at any time. We are beyond our reach."
[Dashu is the term used by people in the industry for money laundering. It is mainly concentrated in Guangdong and Fujian (language family), and other regions have their own local characteristics (dialects). ]
Nanyi rubbed his temples, "Do your best, before he tells who the owner of the money from our bank is, it's best not to die, let me get into trouble, what can I do if I don't settle accounts with them."
"Understood." The head card nodded, "What about the others?"
"Hurry up and get them out before the tour group goes to Mae Sot."
Mae Sot, a small town on the border of Thailand, across the river is Myawaddy in northern Myanmar, a place of chaos that is now well-known, where the anti-government armed forces have 30 to 50 people who dare to call themselves generals, so "warlords" Melee.
Meso is not peaceful, it is on the drug transportation route, Myawaddy’s stray bullets often cross the river, and sometimes Miaawaddy’s defeated soldiers retreat into the jungle of Meso, it is very convenient to write "Xiang Lai" A certain tour group was attacked by Myawaddy anti-government forces, and N people were unfortunately killed" news.
"yes."
"The IT department also screened me, especially the one in charge of the firewall." Nanyi handed a USB flash drive with a special interface to the head card, "Insert it into the No. 3 server in the computer room, it will run automatically, if the indicator light on it is red , it means that someone has moved through the firewall.”
Nanyi took out another card, "You send an email to the mailbox above, and someone will come to take over the maintenance of the server."
After the top card left, Nan Ruoqiong, who finished the game with the children, came to Nanyi.
"Dad, there is one I like very much and want to adopt."
"Boys and girls."
"girl."
"Think about it? Children are not pets, and they need to be devoted to affection, and it's not a matter of a day or two."
Nan Ruoqiong hugged Nanyi's arm and said coquettishly, "Father, you brought me up, don't you believe me?"
"I haven't taken you for a few days. You have been stocking up all the time. Fortunately, it didn't grow crooked." Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruoqiong's hair, "Fan Yun."
"What?" Nan Ruoqiong asked confusedly.
"Fan Yun's generation."
"Oh, I haven't decided whether to let her take my father's last name."
"You can think about it slowly. The surname Nan is only used verbally. It is a legal name. You ask the child what he likes, the most beautiful in the East, Ximen Huakui, Ouyang Piaoxue, Princess Xuanyuan, the first Nuwa, the third Daji, These are all good, you can give her a reference."
"Hee hee, with such a name, you will definitely be beaten at school."
"Have a good name, and it's worth a beating." Nanyi said, and took Nan Ruoqiong out, "Yanxin invested in a potato planting and production project in Jingxi City, inland. When the time comes, you help stand down."
"Do you pay for the endorsement?"
"Projects of a poverty alleviation nature, I will give you two baskets of yam eggs."
"One more basket, I want three baskets."
"You are quite greedy, lest you increase the price, I will give you two more baskets so that you can eat as much as you want."
"whee."
The two came all the way to Nan Ruoqiong's car. Nan Ruoqiong took out a tablet and opened a form for Nan Yi to see.
"Father, these are high-amount long-term life insurance policies purchased by mainland companies at Fang's Insurance. They are single-payment, instant-pay insurance, and the surrender rate is very high."
[Submit payment: pay all premiums at one time. ]
Nanyi took the tablet and swiped it a few times, "Do you know their intentions?"
Nan Ruoqiong pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "It's just a matter of counting, turning public affairs into private interests or evading personal taxes. Dad, we are just carrying out insurance business normally, and surrendering insurance is voluntary. If they want to surrender the insurance, we have no choice."
"Okay, I'm not going to hold you accountable." Nan Yi pointed at the tablet, "Give me the list of these companies, and ask Xie Pingan to go to other insurance companies to inquire about the insurance and refund of companies registered in Beijing." Insured situation."
"good."
"Also, let Xie Ping'an discuss with other companies to increase the surrender fee for the group insurance of mainland companies. If they can't be cured, they will get more benefits."
[Individual group insurance: The insured uses a check to purchase the insurance policy in the name of the unit and group, and distributes a huge amount of funds to the names of employees. ]
"Dad, other companies may not agree. This business is one of the important businesses of several small companies."
"Let's talk about disagreement."
"Oh." Nan Ruoqiong hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, you have become a good person, and you are so jealous of evil."
Nan Yi laughed and scolded: "Little girl, when did I break it?"
"Always been the bad guy."
"Be careful what you say, or I'll have a lawyer sue you for defamation."
