Crm- Discussion 8

 Must post first.

Welcome to the week eight discussion.  This is your final discussion for this course and I hope that you have all enjoyed the class.  Last week everyone got to pick their own organization and talk about what you would do if you went that route.  It is such a fun part of the class to do the guesswork and show how your organization would function.  This week the focus is more on the white collar crime side of organized crime.  The behind the scenes, keep your hands clean side where you work with a pen or computer in place of a gun or drugs.  The discussion assignment is below.  I hope you all have a great week and know you can call me at anytime.

Organized crime large-scale criminal activities generate illicit proceeds that must be disguised as lawful. Some large organizations go so far as to hire accountants, lawyers, and bankers to disguise their unlawful proceeds. Some accomplish this through the development and execution of sophisticated schemes that in some instances abuse legitimate financial institutions. Once “laundered” (disguised), the proceeds may be used or reinvested to continue the enterprise."
