    Hernandez may not appear as a typical white-collar criminal, given that he was a head of state.

    Wow, this author is clearly not familiar with white collar criminals in Latin America.

    victims of the violence linked to those financial flows. Among them were the families of US citizens killed on 7 October

    Damn, this is a fucked up intro, Guardian.

    The victims of the genocide in Gaza are Palestinians, who were murdered with bombs paid for with US tax dollars. No laundering was done for the funding of the Israeli terrorists who slaughter Palestinian children

    There’s a (now defunct) website called Hindenburg Investments that specialized in Short Selling companies they research, dig up criminal misconduct on, and then report to the SEC/FBI/etc.

    The last report they released was on PACS, a company that was caught swindling Medicaid to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

    After Trump won the election, I took a gamble on “Scams and Frauds” investing and picked up 1000 shares in this heavily depressed company. Trumps’ admin effectively dropped the investigation and charges on the firm, causing its stock price to triple.

    Just something for the savvy investor to look out for in the future.

    I’m not surprised, but I can’t say much has changed. Maybe a better than average year, but it’s not like they’re held accountable for much anyway.
