2 1. Introduction Proceeds from organized crime are quite large; often billions of US-Dollars are earned. Hence money laundering of the proceeds is essential, if the criminals want to spend this money. Goal of this lecture: (1)Show some facts / figures of worldwide and national criminal proceeds. (2)How relevant is online-gambling / online-poker for money laundering? Oslo, October 1-4, 2013© Prof. Dr. Friedrich Schneider2 / 13

4 2. Proceeds from TOC (Transnational Organized Crime): Some Facts – Global / Regional / National Figures (1)The most widely quoted figure for the extent of money laundered has been the IMF consensus range of 2 % to 5 % of global GDP, made public by the IMF in 1998. A more recent analysis of the results from various studies suggests that all criminal proceeds are likely to amount to some 3.6% of global GDP (2.3 % - 5.5 %), equivalent to about USD 2.1 trillion in 2009. (2)Another reliable OECD estimate for the amount available for laundering through the financial system would be equivalent to 2.7 % of global GDP (2.1 % - 4 %) or USD 1.6 trillion in 2009.

11 5. Summary & Conclusions (1)The necessity of money laundering is obvious as a great number of illegal (criminal) transactions are done by cash. This amount of cash from criminal activities must be white washed in order to have a legal profit and to be able to invest or consume these profits. (2)Tax fraud and/or illegal cross-border capital flows are by far the biggest/highest share of all illegal transactions (quite often 66% of all illegal capital flows/proceeds!). Oslo, October 1-4, 2013© Prof. Dr. Friedrich Schneider11 / 13

12 5. Summary & Conclusions (3)In 2009 online-poker, -games, -betting and -casinos did not play a substantial role in money laundering in Germany, as only 8.8 % (or 880 million EUR) of the total share of criminal proceeds of 9.9 billion EUR could hypothetically be laundered. Extreme assumption: all revenues (100%) from online- poker, -betting and -casinos come from criminal proceeds. Realistic assumption: 8-12%. For other countries and for the whole EU, the figures will be similar! (4)Laundering via online-gambling and -betting induces high transaction costs (up to 30 % of the amount) and high risks of detection; hence other methods will be chosen. Oslo, October 1-4, 2013© Prof. Dr. Friedrich Schneider12 / 13

13 (5)Final conclusion and answering the question in the headline: online-poker is by no means relevant for money laundering in the EU! (6)Moreover, there do not exist serious (and published) scientific studies which would demonstrate that online-poker is extensively used for money laundering. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

21 Oslo, October 1-4, 2013© Prof. Dr. Friedrich Schneider Study [St.]MethodResultEvaluation DIRECTESTIMATION METHODS [A]----- Discrepancy analysis of internat. balance of payments & world bal. of current account World balance of current account deficit of around 100 billion USD (due to non- registered interest income) Basically interesting approach. BUT: too unreliable data for offshore banks; lack of differentiation between legal & illicit source. [B] St. for the Netherlands (van Duyne, 1994) Money circulation method Return of Dutch guilder in the amount of 3.7 billion HFL (according to estimates by van Duyne 1 billion of that with illegal origin) Method can be used as an indication for existence of money laundering & for plausibility check. BUT: Assumption of cash dependency, other reasons for transfer payment very obvious; dependency on method; very little relevance of currency in neighboring countries (abroad) [C] Case from the USA after change in fight against drugs Change in cash holdings of national banks Transfer of drug money to the U.S. in the billions Good approach for detection of money laundering centers. BUT: no reliable statements to volume (distinction legal & illicit funds; significant change in anti-money laundering measures required) [D] St. to measure annually exported amount of money from the USA to offshore centres (Blum, 1981) Estimates based on the inflows into offshore financial centers 100 billion USD funds from illegal sources; 20-25 billion USD (according to Gutmann's study) annually leaving USA in direction offshore centers Highlights importance of offshore centers for money laundering. BUT: lack of distinction between legal & illicit funds; in calculations only limited comprehendible approach from Blum [E]----- Calculation based on confiscated assets or individual money laundering cases No data on total amount of actually confiscated assets; money laundering in the millions Too vague, since it can be assumed that the confiscated assets represent only a fraction of true extent 6.

BUT: prices diverge nationally / internationally very heavily; consumption individually different [G]----- Quantification based on the estimated drug production ----- Heavy price differences; estimations for production volume very different [H] St. for the USA (Preston, 1989) Quantification based on confiscated illegal drugs Amount of laundered money from drug trafficking for the U.S. 50 - 65 billion USD Heavy differences in success rates of prosecution authorities; very uncertain extrapolation from confiscated quantity to actual quantity Source: Own depiction. 6.
