Our money laundering supports freedom, while theirs supports tyranny etc.

I love the whole “unexplained wealth” concept the UK developed, curiously enough after Abramovich had been running around buying Chelsea etc. If you are friend to MI6 this week you are allowed to do anything, but if you get on their wrong side you will be Berezhovskied.

Most AML courses Ive done have emphisized that the people behind high level money laundering can be too dangerous to take down

You even see this with suspicious deaths of lawyers and accountants in this area?

This is how they deliberately miss the point. They are not taken down not because they are dangerous but because they align with us, and will buy tat from our buddies in Mayfair and Knightsbridge at inflated prices with some of the proceeds.

British high society is completely rotten by this stuff. They are still amazed that Al Fayed was’t nearly as grimy as many had assumed.

There's a British TV series called "The Night Manager" that seems to show how MI6 really works and what its priorities are.
