it isn't

___________

Some of it is legal but hundreds of organized crime run operations have been operating overseas for years with no trouble even though many of their customers have accounts that are far above the legally established limit, some of them for instance have $150,000 in their account for online betting. Online betting and casinos, especially overseas, are an easier way for money laundering to take place without public knowledge. Some offshore betting sites handle around a million a day and there are hundreds of them just in Central America. Players often bet huge sums on games. Employees are not allowed to take tape recorders, CDs, DVDs, Flash drives, cameras etc to work because of the danger of exposure and an international scandal for American businessmen, sports teams, and politicians involved with the mob.But what politician is going to turn down millions of dollars in LOBBYING MONEY, bribes, not an American politician!
