Gangsters and Banksters

It appears the banksters have been "cleaning" the gangsters' illegal drug-trade money.

The Los Angeles Times article, "International banks have aided Mexican drug gangs," describes the money laundering operations of Mexican drug gangs.  To "clean" their ill-gotten money, the drug gangsters were aided by the banksters (also known as international bankers).  A key bank identified as a "cleaner" for illegal-drug money was Wachovia.


United States Attorney Jeffrey H. Sloman described Wachovia's money-laundering  behavior in the following way:


       "Wachovia's blatant disregard for our [U.S.] banking laws gave 
        international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their 
        operations."
