How 8 Crimes Actually Work — From Money Laundering To Diamond Heists | How Crime Works Marathon

You don't have money laundering task force because you would catch too many people with recognizable names.

Bruh. This is EASILY one of the best doc channels on YT

Wow, great videos. Not only informative but entertaining. Its crazy how thin the line is between career criminals, the government and the police.

Ok why was it literally so sweet when the prison gang guy was like (paraphrasing) "I did it because my girl has lupus and I couldnt tell her because stress affects her lupus" he not only put his life in danger to help pay her medical bills (in addition to environmental factors leading to a life of crime) but also had takem the time to gain at least a basic understanding of her chronic illness. Everyone is just people, man. I dont think most people are inherently good or bad; we all do both. 1:06:45

The part Triad guy couldn't translate is a reference to Peach Garden Oath from Romance of the Three Kingdoms... Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and especially Guan Yu are all venerated, their Oath is about brotherhood between people who aren't related but have a bond deeper than actual blood relatives.

Thanks for the knowledge. Now its time to put it into test

The second guy, undercover agent. Mad respect for his mixed feelings about everything. You are dealing with criminals, but you are also dealing with people. I imagine that on some level, you create relationships and bonds. And the families of the criminals absolutely do get their lives ruined. That is ultimately on the criminal and the complacency of the family, but still, it effects a lot of lives when people go to prison and that fact shouldn't be taken lightly. So yeah, he is 100% correct that the government needs to have a conciounce, but sadly a lot of the workers don't, when it comes to criminals.

39:50 "I want a government with conscience. I don't want people high-fiving." I'm speechless. He put that so well.

I love the content, but the spinning film reel every five seconds, was really painful, especially when I played it on a TiVo

its nice to know my homies in the criminal underbelly are struggling with a shrinking middle class too, he kept saying the triad is all top level and bottom level now, all the middle units are gone... Damn, i can relate with ya there sir :)

Second guy " I'm in silhouette because I have a cartel bounty on my head, oh and I'm from Staten Island" Hilarious 😂

I would've paid money to watch this without that horrible cutscene sound every 30 seconds.

I was wondering how people are just allowed to leave and leak secrets like this. Isn't it dangerous?

Crazy how even the triads are scared of the CCP 😂, “you don’t go to jail, you just disappear”

Very informative. I'm a child of the 70's and 80's. Watching this makes me think of how much easier and wide-open things were back then, than they are today. Today 2024, mostly nobody gets away with anything. Unless you do it by yourself. Even then the odds of success are still slim and set against you, but at least you wont have to worry about rats. You still have to worry about all the cameras everywhere including highways and intersections, sophisticated alarm systems and helicopters.

2:08:06 — I love the counterfeit money segment! So interesting to hear about how to deconstruct the process.

What I’m learning from this is you gotta be a special kind of crazy to be an undercover agent.

The money launderer is basically the original "Ozark" guy.

This was so cool too watch. To see simalarites and the differences

Redemption is a beautiful thing. This documentary is what makes YouTube great ✌🏽🇬🇧
