A Money Laundering Sting is an enforcement action or operation that targets and investigates individuals or organizations suspected of illegally transferring money to hide its source. Money laundering is a crime in which the proceeds of criminal activities are converted into legitimate assets. It is a form of organized crime in which criminal organizations attempt to disguise the proceeds of their illegal activities by disguising them as legitimate funds. There are several types of money laundering stings, including undercover operations, wiretaps, asset forfeiture, and the use of financial intelligence. Undercover operations involve law enforcement agents posing as criminals in order to investigate money laundering activities. Wiretaps are used to eavesdrop on conversations between suspected money launderers. Asset forfeiture is when the government seizes the assets of suspected money launderers in order to recover the illegally obtained funds. Financial intelligence involves collecting and analyzing information from financial records to identify suspicious activities.
