With the SWIFT wire and many more offshore banks cooperating with more parts of the US government, in some cases maybe half, all the transactions can be traced.

So the bribe from Bob's construction company through five different intermediaries to the Jean Lafite offshore bank, where it sits for x years. Then when the money exits the bank, it gets traced through y intermediaries to Bill the slightly bent politician.

This would pretty well hide the money transfers in the 1980s, but today, the path is more transparent. With better computer programs and access to far more data, working the connections is much easier.

Today, one would have to do money laundering (with fees of 10-15%) on both sides of the transaction.

And, money launders tend to be on the FinCen radar all the time.

Why is Bob the Builder dealing with known money launderer ?

Or, why was Bob the Builder dealing with a known money launderer in 2002 ?
