Canadian Stanko Grmovsek used Las Vegas casinos as his personal launderette until authorities from his home country caught up to him.
But the casinos and IRS are working on it.
From the Reuters story:
"In a currency intensive industry it's virtually impossible to eliminate entry points for money laundering," said Paul Camacho, special agent in charge for the Las Vegas Field Office of the Internal Revenue Service's criminal investigation arm.
But he said regulators and police were keeping financial crime to a minimum. "We work hand-in-hand with the casinos. We want legitimate
folks coming here and having a good time. Nobody promotes this as a den of thieves.”
