This is a very insightful and engaging story based upon the truth of the largest drug money laundering operations to take place that involves even North America. Drug money that was washed in gold, or at least gold plated lead. Jewelry stores were used as fronts to move cash that would only get wired to their final destinations later. A collaboration between the Argentians, Colombians, and even Armenians. This is a must read to see even how the banking system gets involved in washing cash whether they are aware of it or not.
