Re: How can this happen?

We are talking about laundering millions of $ here.

With that sort of money floating around, I'm sure it won't take much effort to bribe someone at some point. Either to get the receiving bank to set up an account using a fake ID for a 'cut', or perhaps they know someone in the local passport office who can make them fake IDs, that look real enough for a bank .
