If there was no way to call the police, it meant that there was no way to get the money back. This kind of silent loss had happened to people before.
After all, they were all dirty things. It was inevitable that they would cheat on each other. Compared to going to Hong Kong and Macau to find a familiar black intermediary and spend some money to solve this risk, it was riskier to use online gambling websites to do things.
Traditional people didn't trust gambling websites at all. It was like some old people couldn't accept online banking.
Even some people over seventy years old didn't dare to use automatic self-service banking machines to deposit money because they were familiar with face-to-face cash transactions at the counter.
It was difficult to change after getting used to something for a long time. This suspect was used to going to the casino face to face to solve problems, so there was no way to trust the things on the gambling website. He was worried about what if.
At this point, Xu Yun could judge that he was a cautious guy.
"According to some of the information we have now, he doesn't seem to have laundered money through online gambling." Qin Wan 'er shook her head, "He may not have done research in that area."
"It's not that he didn't do research." Xu Yun smiled and shook his head, "It's that he didn't trust him."
Qin Wan 'er frowned, "Don't Hong Kong and Macau know about this? Why don't they have stricter supervision about money laundering?"
"In fact, according to the current situation of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing in Hong Kong and Macau, the Hong Kong and Macau Financial Intelligence Office will publish the statistical results of suspicious transaction reports every year." Xu Yun, "Every year, there are close to one or two thousand suspicious transactions reported in the gambling industry in Hong Kong and Macau, and there will be a large increase every year."
"For the developed casino industry in Hong Kong and Macau, this kind of report is nothing, right?" Qin Wan 'er said.
Xu Yun nodded, "Yes, it is indeed nothing. Compared to the gambling customer flow in Hong Kong and Macau, this kind of report is simply a drop in the bucket."
"Since there are reports, why would people take the risk?" Qin Wan 'er was puzzled, "I thought that there was no one monitoring Hong Kong and Macau."
"Of course there is monitoring. It depends on finding a 'reliable' gambling intermediary, which is the black intermediary I mentioned." Xu Yun, "The suspect you are investigating must have a reliable intermediary. He doesn't need to worry about being cheated, and all his information can be guaranteed."
A legitimate gambling broker was an independent operator who had a contractual relationship with the casino. They would use various rewards to attract customers who would gamble in their VIP lounge.
Usually, they would choose customers with high asset values instead of ordinary citizens. They rely on commissions or fees to maintain their business.
The loophole in the activities of gambling intermediaries allowed some people to use third parties to transfer large amounts of money to other places and casinos. Customers usually relied on gambling brokers to transfer funds for them, which made it difficult to identify the source of funds and the identity of the customer.
If gambling intermediaries colluded with customers to launder money, or even criminals used them to merge illegal funds with legal funds, it would make it more difficult to identify the source of funds and the identity of customers.
This kind of person who colluded with customers to launder money was the black intermediary mentioned by Xu Yun.
Gambling brokers would also transfer money on behalf of their clients, but the financial institutions or casinos responsible for sending and receiving money did not know the identity of the gambling broker's clients.
Based on the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulatory requirements in Hong Kong and Macau, gambling intermediaries and their agents had to conduct customer due diligence for their clients. At this time, it depended on whether the relationship between the money launderer and the intermediary was "close" enough.
In fact, as long as the intermediary was honest enough, it would not be easy for the money launderer to do it.
Whether a customer wanted to launder money, the intermediary could actually make a relatively easy judgment. The customer who wanted to launder money would definitely refuse to reveal his identity. He would definitely use a representative or a third party to buy chips with cash, and if he lost a few rounds, he would ask the intermediary to redeem the cash and refuse to reveal the source of the funds.
Moreover, if the value of the chips the customer bought was not commensurate with his profession, he was basically a money launderer. If the customer asked the middleman to write a check for an amount lower than the reporting threshold, there was basically no way to escape. He was 100% a money launderer.
"You just said that the suspect has children overseas, so it is safer for him to use casinos in Hong Kong and Macau than gambling websites." Xu Yun said, "He can use illegal intermediaries and the entertainment center's VIP lounge to transfer funds between countries."
Qin Wan 'er did not understand these things, "What do you mean?"
"You also know that because of the foreign exchange control, you can't casually transfer large amounts of money from our country to other countries. But with the help of black intermediaries, the suspect can transfer the funds to the casinos he is familiar with, and the casinos in the casinos will notify the remitters of some underground money houses in the countries where his children are. The remitters will then arrange the necessary funds to be paid to his children overseas. "
Qin Wan 'er suddenly understood, "It sounds complicated, but it seems to be a very simple thing."
Xu Yun nodded, "In fact, it is a very simple principle, but it sounds complicated to people who have not been exposed to this field."
"How do you know so much?" Qin Wan 'er was stunned, "Your Sky Entertainment Group doesn't launder money, right?"
"Sky Entertainment Group's money is clean enough, you can rest assured about this." Xu Yun smiled bitterly, "And you think I know a lot, but in fact, I only know the surface. Maybe there are many things that are more complicated than we think."
Qin Wan 'er took a crab and handed it to Xu Yun, "You already know a lot. If you know a little more, then you really are a genius."
"Maybe the little I know is not useful to launder money. But it might be useful to help you solve this case, "Xu Yun said.
"You are so busy. How can I let a big CEO of Sky Entertainment Group do such a small thing for me?" Qin Wan 'er shook her head, "I can't afford the commission."
"Didn't you say that you want me to bring Sister Frost and Chou Yeon to eat spicy crab?" Xu Yun smiled slightly.
Qin Wan 'er nodded, "I didn't say this casually. I really do have this idea. I am very sincere. I am not tricking you."
"Then, do you want to go to Hong Kong and Macau to try the authentic food stall style spicy crab under the bridge that I mentioned?" Xu Yun asked.
Qin Wan 'er was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Xu Yun with surprise. She already understood what Xu Yun was thinking.
"Actually, we can go to Hong Kong and Macau to try the 'authentic' Bridgebottom Spicy Crab and then come back to have another meal. We can compare and see if Shen Jiang's Bridgebottom Spicy Crab is' authentic '." Xu Yun smiled and looked at Qin Wan' er seriously.
