I'm not going to get into this with you here because this was a conversation that RR and I had during way off time and marcos said...no fighting so I'll decline your offer to bait me into trading insults but if you want to take this discussion off this board and onto the Vancouver BC Drug Money Laundering Thread then please copy and paste this response over to it. Thanks THE CANADIAN CONNECTION In September 1989, it was revealed that Canadian banks have been laundering drug money on an enormous scale. Notorious in this regard is the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) which has laundered $100 million in drug money through its Miami and Caribbean branches. The money was sent to the BNS' Bahamas and Cayman Islands branches from Miami and then wired to its New York office where the funds could be withdrawn by the original depositors. In 1981 and 1983, U.S. authorities subpoenaed records of the Bahamas and Cayman Islands BNS branches in connection with two investigations of drug trafficking. The bank gave up the documents only after being fined $1.8 million for delaying their release. BNS asked no questions about large cash deposits, ignored normal banking practices, and hid its depositor's identities by keeping minimal records. Also, BNS employees in the Caribbean were given thousands of dollars in "tips" by their clients for their "understanding." Similarly, $726,000 in drug profits has been deposited in the Royal Bank of Canada. In 1989 the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) identified the Swiss Bank Corporation (Canada) as "a repository of $14 million in drug money."Sales of narcotics generate approximately $10 billion a year in Canada and most of this is washed through Canadian banks and other legitimate businesses. While money laundering is a crime in Canada, just as it is in the U.S., bank reporting requirements in Canada are voluntary. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are included in the DEA's list of the 18 most prominent money laundering centres in the world. security.tao.ca I'll say it again....drug money from aliens built BC into "The Best Place on Earth"I'm planning a seminar in Surrey designed to teach the tens of thousands of criminals here how to launder their drug money into gold and silver instead of overpriced bubblicious homes. Advice....you should hate everyone you disagree with and try to get them banned
