how to clean dirty money 💰 #finance #animation #uk

How do criminals really clean dirty money? Tom has a huge problem. He's just made £100,000 in illegal cash. If he walks into a bank with a suitcase full of bills, the government will ask where it came from, and Tom goes to prison. So he needs to make dirty money look clean. Tom opens a tiny pizza stand that only accepts cash. Every day, 50 real customers buy a slice. But when no one's looking, he rings up 200 extra sales on the register. Sales that never happened. Then he takes his illegal cash and puts it straight into the cash drawer. To the tax office, there's no crime. Tom just sold a lot of pizza. At the end of the year, he declares £100,000 in profit from pizza sales. The state says, "Great, now you owe us £20,000 in taxes, and Tom pays happily." Why? Because the remaining £80,000 is now officially legal. He can deposit it in the bank. He can buy his sports car. The government doesn't see a criminal. It just sees a very successful pizza maker. That's one way criminals launder dirty money. Subscribe to learn more.
