“Liberty Reserve was responsible for laundering billions of dollars, conducting 55 million transactions that involved millions of customers around the world, including about 200,000 in the United States, according to prosecutors.”
This case is fascinating. Folks were just anonymously transferring all sorts of money to one another.
YMC loves the banking laws of places like Costa Rica, Isle of Mann and Ireland.

Other media outlets: fall back.
Update:
In the official press release Fischer listed his accomplishments.
I’ve been honored to serve my hometown for the last two years. My team, with the assistance of all 750,000 citizens, has set Louisville on a new course — creating a more innovative, entrepreneurial and compassionate city. We have accomplished much, but we have more to do.
In 2010, I ran on a platform of “jobs, jobs, jobs” and many of you were closely involved with my campaign. I’m proud to say that Louisville’s economy has started to grow again, with 22,000 new jobs created in the metro area the past two years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Brookings Institution report from 2012 concluded that Louisville had the fourth greatest economic recovery growth in the nation
Government doesn’t create jobs — but we create the right environment for entrepreneurs and the private sector to do so.
Some of my team’s more significant accomplishments these past 28 months include:
· Breaking ground on the 40-year-old Ohio River Bridges Project by working with officials in Kentucky and Indiana.
· Investing in the city’s libraries, including re-opening libraries on Sunday and renovating Shawnee, Bon Air and the Western branch, opening a new Fairdale branch and funding construction of the Southwest regional library, in Valley Station;
· Creating a more efficient government through the the Office of Performance Improvement and LouieStat, short for Louisville Statistics, to ensure taxpayer dollars are wisely spent. LouieStat led to $1.46 million in savings in overtime from March of last year to March this year, a 14 percent savings.
· Leading a cultural transformation at the Metropolitan Sewer District and a consolidation with Louisville Water Company, saving up to $25 million to ratepayers;
· Developing a safer city, including the creation of the LMPD VIPER squad to pursue violent repeat offenders — and get them off the street. Overall crime in the city is down, according to data
Stringer Farris got endorsement from fancy celebrity.
Below is a farewell letter from Monica Harmon.
She is yet another member to get axed because she didn’t have the mayor’s back.

I watch CNN. I say this using the same tone when I admit watching couples argue in the grocery store.
CNN has its benefits. It has a massive global outreach. It’s got correspondents all over the place. It doesn’t have some crazy slant like MSNBC or Fox News.
CNN’s biggest problem?
It’s a 24-hour news network.
You see 24-hour news networks biggest downfall is they often have no idea what they’re covering. CNN, to me, is sometimes the equivalent of the kid in school who scream’s “FIght, there’s a fight.” The guy’s got no clue who or why, but he’ll damn well repeat himself a few times. They know there is a story, but they don’t have enough information about it, so they just sort of wing it and hope it works.
Case and point: The Carnival Cruise Ship ordeal.
The network had a timer when the cruise ship would be arriving.
“We’re four hours away,” they kept saying.
“Very soon we should start receiving emails and tweets from tourists onboard.”
“We’ll show you the terrible conditions of the inside of the ship as soon as we get photos from inside.”
The correspondents were actually salivating over showing human shit on live television.
They couldn’t freaking wait to show it.
They were out in the ocean on a boat, circling the vessel in a helicopter and interviewing family members here in the US.
To me, the story should have read, “Carnival Cruise broken; there is shit.”
Period.

GAW was contacted recently about a harrowing story about saving what is important in life…dogs.
There’s a guy, who shall remain anon. His house burning down the man runs back into the home to save his K9 friend.
Then my amigo told me the same story about the home burning down.
“Man, I’m sitting there spraying his house, 150 psi coming out of the nozzle,” he said.
(I’m nodding like I know the difference between 50 psi and 150 psi.)
“Then this tiny dog comes running out of the home.”
“Uh huh.” ”It’s a rat,” he declared on the scene.
“It’s a dog! Save the dog! Don’t let the dog go back in the house,” people yell to my amigo.
“So, man, I spray the dog.”
End of story.
Man runs in building to save his burning dog.
Man sprays another dog with fire hose to save his life.
Same home.
YMC here.
Rebuilding GAW in an all night session.
Be patient.
We’ll be back as soon as possible.
