BaFin to Deepen Deutsche Bank Money Laundering Investigation (Feb 2019)
www.financemagnates.com

...Deutsche Bank released a statement on Friday saying that BaFin, the German financial regulator, has extended the remit of an independent auditor examining the lender's role in the Danske Bank money laundering scandal.

The case stems from an ongoing investigation into the Danish bank's Estonian division.

After a whistle-blower sounded the alarm about the activity of certain customers, most of whom were from Russia and the former Soviet Union, in late 2018, it became apparent that Danske Bank's Tallinn-based operations were doing business with some less than scrupulous individuals.

It is alleged that the bank laundered around $225 billion from 2007 to 2014. If that is the case, it would potentially be the largest instance of money laundering ever uncovered.

Deutsche Bank falls into the mix as it acted as Danske Bank's main correspondent bank. According to the Financial Times, the German bank was responsible for facilitating $180 billion in suspicious transactions....

Trump and the bank once sued each other after he failed to repay a $300 million loan. And the author and reporter Luke Harding has described a "shuffle of money" between the bank's dealings with figures in Russia and its business with Trump. ...

I worked at a money laundering operation while in college. I had no idea until about 10 years later when the FBI came looking to talk to me. In hindsight, the signs were there.

The controversy is about corporate anonymity, not money laundering directly. Delaware's economy was built on corporate anonymity, thanks to Joe Biden. I'd wager more money laundering occurs in Delaware than anywhere else in the US.

And why should corporations have anonymity at all? So many of the Panama Papers international money hiding and laundering used "companies" based in Delaware, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada. I think Wyoming is actually the biggest one now replacing Delaware.
