    There is a business near where I live that for the first few years I that I lived here was changing hands and opening up as something different every few months. Then about a decade ago it opened up as a tiny mexican grill. While I never see more than a few cars in the parking lot, even at the busiest times of day, it has somehow stayed open that whole time. After that first year I remember making a joke about how it was probably a money laundering front. Been ten years now.

    There was a restaurant that opened in my neighbourhood for only about two weeks and they then went away. Just like that.

    If you squint or kinda let your eyes go out of focus, her head looks abnormally large…Like a bobble head………….I think I’ve been on YouTube too long, I’m starting to hallucinate…this quarantine is literally driving me insane 🤪……but it’s little by little, so by the time I notice, it’ll be too late. Hah. Ha ha.😟

    Once breaking bad was mentioned, I did not doubt that they would be spot on

    Strangely you end with: “Money Laundering is never as easy as Hollywood makes it out to be.” But before that you claimed that every clip was very realistic… do they get it right or don’t they?

    actually, judging by her comments, tv tends to get money laundering quite right. i mean compare this video to the one about hacking…

    I’m not the first to list it on the comments, but EVERYBODY know mattress outlets are fronts. I’ve never seen somebody actually taking a mattress out of one

    I know of an amusement arcade in one of the most expensive areas in London. It has been there for at least 30 years, and nobody is ever inside. I once went in to ask for some change, seeing as they’re an arcade, but they didn’t have any. Probably the most obvious front I’ve ever seen.

    I wish she covered Bad Blood on Netflix which is based on the real Rizzuto crime family in Montreal and controlled many industries (construction, snow plowing, the port and many more) in Montreal for many, many years in order to launder their money. They even went as far as having police and politicians on payroll to avoid investigations into their businesses.
