#gold #USMint #DrugCartels

"Congress in 1985 prohibited the Mint from making bullion out of foreign gold because it wanted to insulate the process from human rights abuses, primarily in apartheid South Africa. The Mint has flouted that law, across Democratic and Republican administrations, despite internal warnings.

Now, even President Trump’s 24-karat gold coin, commemorating the United States’ 250th birthday, could come from a swirl of non-American gold from any number of sources.

The Mint, the biggest name in the global market for investment gold coins, is an example of how the industry’s guardrails have collapsed. Gold prices hover around $5,000 an ounce, about four times the price of a decade ago. That gives criminal organizations and fly-by-night operators a huge incentive to mine in wasteful, destructive and risky ways.

Investors buy gold as a hedge against instability. Nearly every terrorist attack, war and financial meltdown in the past quarter-century has fueled a gold-buying frenzy.

But as prices climb ever higher, wealthy buyers are actually helping to create the very instability they are trying to hedge against.

Gold mining funds Sudan’s brutal civil war and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Surging gold prices have helped Venezuela and Iran temper the effects of financial sanctions. Colombia’s biggest cartel, the Clan del Golfo, traffics in gold alongside cocaine — and uses the proceeds to maintain control through murder and bombings. Illegal miners deforest and pollute the Amazon, poisoning people there with mercury. Terrorist groups, including some linked to Al Qaeda, are getting into the gold business, too."

Politico: Online disinformation fueled panic after killing of Mexican drug lord. “…in addition to real accounts of death and destruction and the warnings from governments for their citizens to shelter in place, the internet was flooded with disinformation — fake videos and images generated by artificial intelligence. They were designed to stoke fear, Mexican officials said.”

#Mexican #DrugCartels are getting into the #avocado and #lime business

by Scott Simon, February 19, 2022

"Avocados are wildly important in the U.S., and most are imported from Mexico. This week, the U.S. briefly banned Mexican avocados after a U.S. inspector in the state of #Michoacan reported receiving threats. But avocados and limes have long been used by drug cartels to help finance their violent business plans."

Strikes on Venezuelan Boats Prompt Rare U.N. Meeting on the United States

Just in case you were wondering why yes, there is a #crypto angle to the massive #TDBank money laundering scandal.

Turns out a big chunk of the fines levied by #FinCen for the massive drug money laundering facilitated by TD Bank was because "over $420 million [sent] to a financial institution offering cryptocurrency services in the high-risk jurisdiction of #Colombia."

Curious if anyone has any guesses as to what crypto company that is or was.

edit: my current guess is that the crypto company is #Kado, a Colombian company that trades crypto for cash and prepaid debit cards and uses #FortressTrust (FKA #PrimeTrust, a #Nevada company long rumoured to be connected to the italian mafia), to do (probably fake) KYC/AML.
