Money Laundering | Pocket Byte #58

The global financial system moves over $100 trillion every single year, but floating beneath the surface of legitimate trade lies a vast, shadow network responsible for up to five percent of global GDP. From ancient merchants burying wealth in imperial China to Al Capone turning Chicago laundromats into a cash-cleaning engine, money laundering has always been the single most vital component of organized crime. Without a way to clean dirty capital, illicit wealth is practically useless. Today, that shadow system has evolved into a borderless, digital playground powered by encrypted networks, luxury real estate, and sophisticated offshore banking hubs.
