Stolen art: money launderer convicted of structuring transactions to avoid BSA reporting requirements
Matthew Taylor, 44, of Vero Beach, Florida, USA has been convicted in a Los Angeles court of possessing and selling paintings stolen from a Los Angeles art gallery. But it's the financial crime elements that are especially interesting.
Crowdfunding:

Earlier this year saw the return of an old friend (not really): the fake grant scheme. There have been a number including the now defunct Blue Millenium Foundation. But there is something more interesting at play: something that has more than a whiff of the same stuff that underpinned the case of "The First International Bank of Grenada."
