All of that cash from cannabis farming has to be laundered somehow.

Well it appears counterfeit goods is also part of the business model. What a surprise... not.

I didn't realise they sold phones and vapes so it all makes sense now. Same model as Cheetham Hill in Manc and other tat shops. Decent front but everything else dodgy as hell.
I did think being sweet shops there would be drugs involved but it isn't. Just your standard fakery tat shop.

These contrary to popular opinion are not good fronts for ML.
The connoisseurs of ML prefer hot food takeaway, 24 hour retail, pubs and night clubs because of the cash throughput. Sunbed shops for example simply do not deliver the levels of cash handling to sufficiently launder large amounts of cash most payments are debit/credit card. Sunbed shops are more likely to be what in brokerage circles is called a PEMS business. Similar examples of PEMS businesses are nail bars and dog grooming parlours.
PEMS stands for Preventing Extra Marital Shagging and is where the husband sets the wife up in business in a bid to stop her from bonking the personal trainer whilst he is out at work. I know a few contractors who have fallen into this trap.

London is one big state sponsored money laundering operation. Only the little crooks will receive any attention. The big dog behind it all will survive scrutiny.
