| Comment | Problem is that money laundering is a *little* more complex than just making up cash customers, because that's incredibly easy to audit. It's a nice story but I'm skeptical because if it was the case then running an american candy store would be like rolling out a big welcome mat to HMRC saying, "audit me and find some drugs cash as a bonus!"
Whereas the point of the tax avoidance setup is that they are openly dodging tax, but arranging it so it's basically impossible to actually pin down someone to send the bill to, and making it more costly than it's worth for local authorities to pursue. It only works for low-value crimes, not proper organised laundering where more investigation would be warranted. |
