Equity withdrawn from homes was around 2% of GDP in 2019.

Money laundering is estimated to be around 2-4% of GDP in Canada.

Either the Liberals used a housing crisis to pad GDP, or they didn& #39;t know, and aren& #39;t smart enough to be in office.

When does Adam Vaughan resign?
2./ Transparency International found. over the past decade, ~$35 billion in Greater Toronto property was bought with no idea who the corporate owners are due to a lack of public ownership data.

$25 billion was bought using cash from unregulated lenders without AML regulation.
3. Still, no action? Weird. International gangs made a casino too dangerous for a money laundering investigations? Weird.

I wonder how the federal government would respond to such allegations of corruption. Clearly they would do something! https://globalnews.ca/news/7593419/bc-casinos-too-dangerous-cullen-commission/">https://globalnews.ca/news/7593...
6. The BC government told the Fed about a money laundering scheme used by cartels, where they would enroll "students" who would pay their tuition with bags of cash, withdraw, and presto — clean money.

7. This is always a fun one. The vast majority of cash from China is probably clean, but illicit capital moves where there& #39;s little scrutiny.

If China& #39;s capital controls are $50k, how do people make a down payment on a house? The answer is in this Big Five bank sign.
8. At this point, it& #39;s not negligence. The Fed has been warned many times over by every financial organization on the planet.

They ignored it because it prints really good economic indicators. What& #39;s the problem if money launders buy the homes, cars, and boost GDP? Well...
9. A money launderer& #39;s goal is to move as much cash, as fast as possible.

When they buy a house, they don& #39;t buy a house. They buy a low scrutiny capital token.

What happens when you buy the house next door? You use their token as a comp.
