45. Reverend, the fixers would want to be paid for their efforts...
and to do that you would want an 'off the books' operation to do it. The Isle of Man, Guernsey Islands, Netherlands Antillies etc are all well known money-laundries with banking/corporate privacy laws. Very untraceable.

Isle of Man is mentioned by Madsen and Five Star, I believe. One technique is called a 'Dutch Sandwich' where the clean money goes to a clean bank office somewhere, the dirty money goes to the branch of the clean bank. So far so good. The dirty money is given as a deposit at the branch office and the now 'clean' money is loaned out by wire transfer. As long as the banks don't disclose sources, company names, etc., no one gets caught.

US and world check clearing capability out of NY CHIPS see CHIPS Clearing House Interbank Payments System http://www.imolin.org/imolin/finhaeng.html
would detect 'funny business', unless the CHIPS were down, no pun intended !
