Financial Watchdog Finds 5B In Suspicious Transactions

Posted on Thursday, October 05 at 09:13 by rearguard
Most of the cases — 134 — involved suspected money laundering with transactions valued at $4.75 billion. But 33 cases representing $256 million were linked to suspected terrorist activity "and other threats to the security of Canada," the report said.

    Let's look at what FINTRAC actually is: <a href="http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20060821232802907">Who Must Report Suspicious Transactions?</a> <br><br> Let's qualify what FINTRAC is actually saying: <br><br> Not ONE suspected transaction has been shown to be criminal activity, and the claim that there were terrorist transactions is baseless fear mongering designed to justify FINTRAC's continued existence. <br><br> I don't like having my accountant spying on me, and I told her so in person. I also told her that she will loose my business because of it. It's not ideal, but I can do my own accounting well enough without using government spies.

    From the article:
    "But 33 cases representing $256 million were linked to suspected terrorist activity "and other threats to the security of Canada," the report said."

    Oh and were these investigations done in tandom with our now disgraced and lost all credibility RCMP and CSIS and the infiltrating into Canada FBI?

    If so, I wonder who the terrorists are? The Red Cross? Greenpeace? Raging Grannies? Justice Dennis O'Connor?
