Canada has the misfortune of being located next to the world's largest illicit drug market the United States. Unsurprisingly, in recent years, Canada has been regarded as being attractive for laundering drug profits earned south of the border especially as American anti-money laundering efforts have intensified. As an October 1992 report by the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network stated: "Of particular interest to investigators is the ease with which US currency can ... be smuggled across the Canadian border and used to purchase Canadian bank drafts." In addition, Canada was listed "among jurisdictions most commonly used to launder drug money from the United States," in a February 1990 report by a US Senate subcommittee. There are many known cases where this has occurred:  Isaac Kattan, an important money launderer for Colombian cocaine traffickers, used bank accounts in Canada to help launder about $400 million US in cash.  Members of the Cuntrera Sicilian crime family used banks in Montreal to launder some $35.598 million US in heroin profits earned in the United States. A third case worth noting involved a shadowy Vancouver company called the Canada-Asia Finance Group. To publicize its services, it placed ads in the Wall Street Journal. One read: "Many multinational corporations know the benefits of confidential banking outside of North America. No reporting requirements. Total secrecy. Guaranteed results." In fact, Canada-Asia Finance Group was offering a special service to US drug dealers. It would arrange for large amounts of cash to be laundered through Hong Kong. For this service, it would charge a flat fee of $10,000 plus five per cent of each month's deposits. And it would help the drug dealer by providing written instructions on how to avoid detection by law enforcement. Among other things, clients were advised to build in odd figures into their deposits "...so that the whole lot could not add up to a round sum..." And they were told how to move funds from dummy accounts into a series of four control accounts. The scheme was eventually cracked by US law enforcement.
