I’m only aware of this happening the other way round (.ru crime actors doing things Moscow needs done, ddos on Estonia etc etc)
I’d love to read more on this.
There are some criminal service industry leaks that are public, or have been public, yet it doesn’t appear more than a few individual have the motivation to follow trough in combing them. At least this is true for groups who would publish on their findings.
Assuming the receiver uses a proper offshore construct to accept the payment, this would go by unnoticed by your DD?
But most interesting: What is your best guess - Your partner says you find “a hand full” from a few hundred - how many of these cases do you miss because the recipients use a not easy traceable proxy entity to collect the payment?
Do you try to uncover such hidden actions, if yes, how?
Also, is there a good reason why someone would not use a offshore proxy/holding?

It took 11 month an 40k km all in all. But it was 80% detours. Had to leave my car at the boarder to China. No chance to take it there. The most magnificent place on the way was Iran for sure. Lovely people with a hate for their own government and not afraid at all to voice their contempt for religious fanatics, the city dwellers at least.
