    Money laundering in a casino is so easy and virtually impossible to detect.

    Well except for those people that exchange for a bunch of chips and then come back with 10% less.

    I read the article thanks.
    Ok. So then what's so easy and virtually impossible to detect after the implementation of FINTRAC reporting in December 2017?

    Or why did the suspicious cash transactions drop by over 95% if it's still being done?

    British Columbia is almost as hypocritical and corrupt as Quebec.

    I'm saying it's not easy. They made it easy because they weren't actually doing anything to stop it.

    Settle down you fucking penis-obsessed dipshit, I wasn't disagreeing with the article.

    Had a client from HK who had purchased a brand new Urus cash and was then 'financing' it to a 3rd party at $5K a month, 0% interest for 5 years. When the client did not want any security or signed guarantee, it was relatively obvious as to what was happening. Haha. Win-win of course for both of them in many ways I guess.

    What kind of comprehensive questions is a casino going to ask someone who comes in with $10k cash to assure them it's clean money?

    Please give me some ID to scan, we are reporting this to a government agency”. When the scandal broke the downtown casino started doing this and business went down drastically. I assume once it was out of the headlines they stopped

    There's a short and simple list of questions. Don't you guys work casinos for charity?

    I have not had to do that, but I know plenty who have.
    On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I've walked into a casino with that much cash, but it will have been Vegas, not that shitty one in Kelowna. I hate that one in Kelowna.
    They take everybody money.
    They don't give it back

    Canadian casinos are useless as entertainment destinations. If they crack down on money laundering they will truly have no value to our society.

    I agree. I don't know why I don't have fun in them compared to Vegas, but I sure don't.

    But seriously, though. Was reading > me because I thought the OP's article repeatedly mentioned that laundering in casinos was still a really big issue in Canada specifically, BC?
    Maybe skimming > me?

    Canadian casinos are more depressing than fun.

    American casinos are still depressing, but they make up for it by actually being a good time.

    I enjoy casinos. I really liked Vegas's. Poker there was waaaaay more fun because you can find $2 tables that don't have n00bs.

    Canadians, as a people, are really stupid. They don't see the irony here.

    The article is about how the money laundering has moved to auto sales.

    "In December, the province imposed new rules on casinos requiring them to complete source-of-funds declarations for deposits of C$10,000 or more in cash. They were also prohibited from accepting cash from customers involved in two consecutive cash transactions until it was determined the source wasn’t suspicious or illegal.Those appear to be having a dramatic effect.
    On average, roughly $5 million a month in suspicious cash was being flagged at B.C. casinos. “The money was walking in the front door,” Eby said. “People with shopping bags full of $20 bills would walk it up to the cage.”

    In February, following the new measures, suspicous cash transactions dropped to $200,000, Eby said."
