Feds raid car lot in terrorism crackdown

News on 6

The U.S. Justice Department says a Tulsa used car dealership is one of about 30 U.S. car buyers that are part of a money-laundering scheme which used the U.S. financial system to benefit the militant group Hezbollah.

I wonder if those folks that bought a car here will be investigated?
what do you think

Seems like the Feds just want some new cars

This has been an ongoing issue for some time...Here is another report involving the same group Hizbollah and it's occupation in America. This also shows the coordination of terrorist organizations and the partnership it has forged with the drug cartels. And most likely Hezbollah is in Venezuela...

Lebanese Drug Lord Indicted, Linked to Hizballah Funding

A Lebanese drug lord, with connections to Hizballah, has been indicted on charges of moving over 100 tons of Colombian coc aine to the Zetas drug cartel and into the United States. Propublica.org's Sebastian Rotella calls it a "politically explosive case" that the terrorist organization funds itself through drug sales to America, which is backed up by previous government press releases.

"Ayman Joumaa is accused of facilitating the shipments of huge amounts of coc aine for the United States while laundering the proceeds all over the globe," said DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart in the Justice Department's press release. "According to information from sources, his alleged drug and money laundering activities facilitated numerous global drug trafficking organizations, including the criminal activities of the Los Zetas Mexican drug cartel. DEA and our partners will continue to expose and dismantle these worldwide networks," he added.

What the money that goes to Israel through front companies through he USA? Why aren't those being raided?

As someone who has worked in car sales, I can tell you that I have heard about this second hand. So there may be some truth to it. Nothing to worry about IMO.

Used Car dealer lisc are indeed a lisc to steal.. however unless Tulsa has some of the most relaxed used car lisc regulation in the nation, IMHO this is BS.
It's impossibly difficult to hide large cash profits in the used car biz.
They are scrutinized at every turn, and in most states, forced to pay taxex quarterly, so the DMV canb easily cross reference titles/owners/taxes and tag fees.

It is possible, but so difficult, that I just can't fathom any real terrorist org touching the used car biz with a 10 foot pole.

Just to easy to get caught, and too little area for hiding real money.
