DEA agents use e-mail messages to plumb money laundering 'money pit'

The shadowy corners of cyberspace, which many believe provide cover for cyberlaunderers, have begun to be illuminated in criminal cases under the U.S. money laundering law. An affidavit, which was the underpinning of a request for a search warrant, by a Drug Enforcement Administration agent says the U.S. seized messages from the e-mail account of a money transmitter after learning that the account was used to receive instructions from suspected money launderers.

A resulting indictment, in Miami, alleges that drug proceeds were
laundered with the speed and anonymity that cyberlaunderers and other
net-savvy criminals have begun to appreciate. In this case, U.S.
investigators may have been up to the task of detecting it.

The case is the result of Operation Money Pit, a 17-month DEA
undercover "sting" investigation that targeted three South Florida money
transmitters. The indictment, unsealed on November 9, charges Gloria
Exchange Corp., United Express, Inc., and 15 affiliated persons with
laundering $2.2 million in purported drug proceeds provided by
undercover DEA agents (Title 18, USC Sec. 1956(h)). The defendants
include Orlando, Enrique and Mauricio Puche, the owners of Gloria
Exchange, and Ana Arbelaez, president of United Express.

Operation Money Pit

The affidavit by DEA agent William Hodge says the DEA launched an
investigation of the two companies and Americana de Servicios after an
alleged drug trafficker said he used the transmitters to launder drug
proceeds. The U.S. says undercover agents brought "boxes upon boxes"
of small denomination bills to Gloria Exchange and United Express and
exchanged them for $100 bills or wire transferred the funds to undercover
bank accounts in foreign countries. It alleges the transmitters assisted the
laundering scheme by failing to file or by filing fraudulent Currency
Transaction Reports, IRS Forms 4789.

Hodge says between July 1999 and October 2000 undercover agents
exchanged about $1.5 million in purported drug proceeds at United
Express and that agents were directed by Arbelaez to an employee of
Americana de Servicios who provided deposit slips to deposit funds in
Americana's accounts. Americana de Servicios was not charged in the
indictment. Undercover agents say they laundered $700,000 in purported
drug proceeds through Gloria Exchange in the six months ending October
2000.

Internet communications

After confidential source told the DEA that money launderers were
communicating with Gloria Exchange by e-mail messages, DEA agents
obtained court approval to conduct a search of Bellsouth.net in Atlanta.
The search resulted in the seizure of an undisclosed number of messages
to the Gloria Exchange e-mail account. The DEA says it is continuing to
analyze the messages, which contain numerous spreadsheets and
financial instructions confirming wire transfers from Gloria to Jet Peru,
Casa Dimex, of Mexico, and other money exchange houses in Latin
America.

The affidavit says launderers "are utilizing the Internet to communicate
with one another because it has become common knowledge that law
enforcement agencies are capable of intercepting facsimile and telephone
communications."

Sub-agents

Operation Money Pit also targeted the money transmitters' sub-agents,
which included travel agencies, grocery stores and other businesses that
accept cash on behalf of the transmitter in exchange for half the fee that
the transmitters' customer pays. The U.S. says money transmitters
sometimes avoid the filing of CTRs by splitting single cash deposits
among various sub-agents or use names of customers provided by
sub-agents to complete fraudulent CTRs.

The U.S. executed 83 search warrants at Gloria Exchange sub-agents the
day the indictment was announced. The warrants sought a wide-range of
documents, including daily activity reports, wire transfer payment logs,
Currency Transaction Reports and Suspicious Activity Reports, and
copies of forms of identification that the transmitters gathered. Money
transmitters are not required to file suspicious activity reports under
existing Bank Secrecy Act regulations (31 CFR Part 103). They have not
had a form to report such transactions since October 1995 when the
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network revised the CTR and eliminated a
box to tick if the transaction was suspicious. Only banks and other
"depository institutions" are required to file SARs.

Anti-laundering training

A "Voluntary Survey of Licensed Money Transmitters" in October 2000
by Orlando Puche could prove damaging to the Gloria employees and
sub-agents netted by the sting. It says all Gloria employees are given
"money laundering training which includes currency transaction
reporting- requirements" and that Gloria provides its sub-agents with
training manuals on CTR requirements.

The indictment seeks the forfeiture of $2.4 million, which represents the
amounts laundered and the commissions and fees paid by the undercover
agents (Case No. 00-0933 CR-Highsmith, S. Dis. Fla.).

In the old days, speculators were protected by the twin devils of fear and greed - the gambler's emotions. Computers do not know fear or greed, they do not have any common sense, either. Anyone trading off a screen soon loses touch with reality and common sense. The article appeared in Scandals in Justice which regularly publishes online articles attacking the British legal system.

Locking the Stable Door After the Horse has Bolted

Whenever a scandal like the Barings debacle is uncovered there is a demand that legislators and regulators should ensure that nothing similar occurs again. All too often such action is merely a case of locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Could frauds on a massive scale be foreseen? Regulators are hardly likely to answer yes because that would undermine their excuses for their failures.

However, immediately after the news of the Barings affair broke, Allan Fotheringham writing in the leading Canadian news and current affairs magazine Maclean's made the following points.

Author Linda Davies has proven a point made years ago by Marshall McLuhan, who said that artists can warn us of future disasters. Three years ago, Davies wrote the novel, Nest of Vipers, about a computer whiz-kid who decides to exploit the system and make tons of money while being employed as a mole by the Bank of England. She wrote what 28-year-old Nick Leeson accomplished in Singapore last week. Leeson has been able to upset world economies more than J. P. Morgan, the Vanderbilts, or the Rothschilds ever could.
