The criminals are jumping the shark by overtly using public sell through websites like Amazon, ebay and now even walmart.com to launder money. They used to use web sites nobody every heard of before. The sites were public in nature but had no visiblity to the public. IF you went to these sites all the prices would be 100x-10000x the normal cost. The goal was to allow an anonymous way to have someone with a lot of money to launder to do so in a way that could be explained away as legit. They would sell a real product and deliver it. The "buyer" would send in money. This would generate fake sales for the seller who needed the inflated numbers to make up for the fact that sacks of illegal cash needed to be accounted for and taxes paid on lest jail time be risked for tax evasion.
First it was only these private web stores and then Amazon and Ebay and now they are using walmart.com as well. As you can see from the link, hurry and buy your $15 automotive tachometer for only 5 grand because there is only 1 left!!
When these transactions occur, some of the money has to be going to walmart. And that means walmart (and amazon and everyone else) must know this is happening but do not want it to stop because its revenue to them. And that makes them all complicit in laundering criminal money. Mark my words, lots of people already know about this but are saying nothing for now. But sooner or later someone will talk and you will see Amazon and Walmart and Ebay people all thrown under the bus for conspiracy to money laundering.
