The magnitude of the problem is overwhelming and when coupled with the effort involved to work those cases, many agencies choose to let them pass. They don?'t understand the problem, let alone how to analyze these cases and prosecute the individuals who perpetrated the crime. Agencies have been slow to make progress, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Money laundering is a global, trillion-dollar crime that extends into all areas of commerce. The reality is that money laundering isn?'t just a standalone crime, it is also a symptom of additional crimes which generate illicit proceeds. Whether due to lone wolf criminals, as the result of transnational organized crime, or international corruption, money laundering can be challenging to prove as both a factual matter and as part of a criminal prosecution.

Cell phones are a way of life in modern society. While these devices are used daily for normal communication purposes, they are used for criminal purposes. They are stolen, used to plan crimes, research crimes, and take images of unlawful activities then discarded. Law Enforcement?'s ability to recover/obtain these discarded phones can be crucial to a variety of investigations.

A quick review of any common list-serve reveals a lexicon of hundreds, if not thousands of unique terms and words.

There is a rapid evolution in the technologies people use to communicate and share material with each other, in the companies providing the sharing platforms, and in how people choose to communicate with each other. People are increasingly choosing to communicate using text, images, and videos rather than traditional electronic voice communications. And, they increasingly choose to use platforms that make this communication openly available for others to view.
