The Rise of Money Launderers on Snapchat and Instagram | Crimewave
Gangs are always looking for new ways to launder their money, and in cities like London, Birmingham and Manchester, using money mules has become one of their favorite methods.
Young and vulnerable people are convinced by criminals, often on social media, to let them use their personal bank accounts to receive and send on their illicit earnings. However, there can be serious consequences for those who get involved, from being locked out of the financial system, to even serving time in prison. This crime is still massively under-reported, which in part is what leaves many young people so vulnerable.
VICE investigates this new and booming form of crime and meets the recruiters, the police, and people who have inadvertently got caught up in it.

When you do a crime, make sure you always film it and post to social media, law enforcement thanks you in advance
Vice is considered press, and by law they do not have to disclose any information given to them on these shows tbh. And if they did give information to the police the criminals can use the contact vice made them sign. Lol so yeah take this L buddy
@Ann Berlin but we get you when you Flaunt it online
Vice is snitches. They genuinely might believe these paidgent are real because to here contacts are legit informants and or organized propaganda
I’m so shocked that people on social media offering easy money aren’t being honest!
name their race
@Cali9for1nia6 school system doesn’t really teach you about how to identify different currencies (at least not in NYC). You have to do your own research.

@juan almos Bruh our money is just super plain looking compared to other countries. Just look at the currency of any other country on either of the American continents.
Imagine self snitching and telling millions of people your tactics
@Chris fricker more than 12 years that i know exists and before was email and offers of millions instead of thousands. They used to write ✍emails sayibg its is a prince from yadah yadah … it was all over the place in blogs
@Chris fricker what scam is it?
That’s because he’s not a criminal like your government
https://youtu.be/L0rpkuk4WWU 🖤
People of this new generation can’t even commit major crime without wanting clout lol
It’s mad
@Just some Commie its way way way worse now. this is the most self obsessed generation of all time
@Just some Commie true, and they used to write on walls, most criminals love clout, only the smart ones keep it cool

People always do that, and that’s why they get caught. Killers, wolf of Wall Street, etc.

Biggest snitch on the internet is vice. I don’t believe anyone in these videos
They do realize that the cops won’t just bust in and arrest them after one or two times. They may investigate you for at least a year, recording every move you make. Then once they have an encyclopedia of evidence for crimes you have committed then they arrest you, and give you min 20 yr.
You dont even get 10 years for fraud in the UK. This is not the US.
This is true. I tried to explain this to people but they swear that’s not the truth. Law enforcement literally have operations they’ll watch for over a year and take part in and they’ll arrest you when the time comes.
But hey at least you got your 5 minutes of fame on instagram..
@Library Card it would be hard to get 20 years for murder in the UK, you’d have to murder the judge’s wife on their wedding day, and you’d have to make sure you dont have smart lawyer who keeps saying ‘he was feeling anxious because he grew up in a single parent enviroment and he has ADHD etc etc’
Timeless Rule of Thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
@Stones Jones Its a very smart rule actually. Major criminals dont grow old. Most drug dealers dont grow old, most gangbangers don’t live past 30, most robbers don’t live out their old age on the outside of a cell. If it requires harming others to get ahead with little to no work, it’s too good to be true. Hotheads dont last.
The ‘Rise’ of Anti-Science is way more
Worrying, if you ask me.
@Stones Jones What is too good to be true? Crime that ruins your life, and knowing what to look for. That’s why there’s a saying to remind people. Wisdom happens
@Stones Jones right I agree. When you find things are “too good to be true” you’ll jinx yourself by thinking something will ruin it, this subconsciously self sabotaging. It’s all just another little bs saying that gets stuck in people’s heads and they live by it.
I would love to know more about how they set up these interviews.
@NeickhaSuPRA true
Yeah it’s no way it’s the real criminals
By offering them a platform and a few quid. Bit like the launderers but legitimate. 😅
Go to a casting agency, hire some actors. Rent a business location and start filming.
“You want to do something illegal with me?”
“No! Are you crazy!?”
“You’ll be famous overnight…”
*leans in* “What do we have to do?”
Remember kids if you are going to do a crime at least make sure its worth it
or just don’t?
