Money Laundering1

Susanna: What’s going on in the office next door? I heard that the police shut down their business. 

Clark: You heard right. The cops had long suspected that the business operating out of that office wasn’t legit. 

Susanna: Not legit? 

Clark: Yeah, it was a front for money laundering. The so-called services it offered were a sham2. It was a way for people to send them dirty money and for the business to legitimize those funds. 

Susanna: But who was involved? 

Clark: I’m not sure, but I imagine they’re people who want to evade3 taxes or to circumvent4 certain laws or regulations. I wouldn’t be surprised if their clients were people with underworld connections. 

Susanna: You mean organized crime? 

Clark: Yeah, they’re probably drug lords, smugglers, and racketeers. 

Susanna: Wow and the people who helped them were working next door to us all that time. 

Clark: And we didn’t know a thing about it. How awful. 

Susanna: How exciting!
