In my many trawls across the internet I’ve come across a very interesting story here regarding the possible arrest and seize of Chinese Money Launder’s using an online game to supposedly transfer $38m in 18 months.
Those of you who’ve kept track with this website will be very aware that this is something I’ve been predicting as quite possible for quite some time now.
I’ll admit though, I’m not entirely convinced by the article and I’d like to see some secondary confirmation before I accept what it’s saying. On the face of it though it looks plausable, however, this is the internet and I’m sometimes extremely wary of news acquired from it. It’ll keep looking for confirmation of course.
If proved though, it’s an interesting development, and one which both law makers and law enforcement agencies should probably examine with concern.
Lets not cry wolf though until we have all the facts (or indeed prematurely cry “I warned you all!” 
)
In addition, I can highly recommend a read of this published journal article examining the impact of organisted criminal groups on online systems. It makes for a fascinating read.
