Speaking of several young people who came to the store to buy gold crazily a few months ago, the salesperson in the store was still impressed.
"They came at two or three o'clock. There were three people in total. They all seemed to be in their early twenties. As soon as they entered the store, they said they wanted to buy gold bars, and the demand was huge."
According to the store owner's recollection, these Young people behave abnormally during the purchase process. They are only interested in the weight and inventory of gold bars, and require payment by credit card in batches. "Ignore anyone during the whole process and frequently check his mobile phone, as if waiting for instructions. When I ask him, he doesn't answer." What makes the salesperson even more strange is that these young people treat expensive gold bars very casually, even There is no need for packaging, just put it in your pocket and take it away.
In fact, money laundering can be understood literally, which is to clean money. Criminals all obtain money through some illegal means, but the money comes from improper sources and is even suspected of illegal crimes, so they will try their best to conceal the source of the money or make it legal.

This incident has many similarities with similar incidents in the past. In the past few years, similar gold buying events have occurred frequently across the country. Some criminal gangs use funds obtained from telecommunications network fraud to launder money by purchasing gold. These gangs usually organize a group of "groomers" to go to gold shops in various places to buy gold, thereby converting illegal funds into legal assets.
This incident has a profound impact on society. First, it reveals the seriousness and harm of telecommunications network fraud. These criminal gangs not only obtained large amounts of funds through fraud, but also used methods such as purchasing gold to launder money, thereby concealing the source of their illegal assets. Secondly, this incident exposed the mentality of some people who break the law and commit crimes for a small profit. In order to please overseas fraud gangs, some people sell or even rent out their bank cards to help them carry out money laundering activities. This behavior is not only illegal, but also causes huge losses to society.
