Good Morning, Chinada!

The next time you cheat on your taxes, do it in Mandarin: No charges will be forthcoming in one of B.C. largest-ever money laundering probes

“Regrettably, the challenge of proving a viable predicate offence, given the wording of the current legislation, combined with the complexity of an enormous data set in a foreign language, have conspired to make the prospects for conviction poor, despite the best efforts of many dedicated officers,” he said in a statement released Wednesday.

According to Considine, the investigation produced 41,877 documents. Police also seized almost 90 smart phones and intercepted more than two million communications, the majority of which were in Mandarin.

And besides, it could get awkward.

  1. But surely surveillance could identify one of them honking their horn. Then the federal government could freeze their bank accounts.

    1. Too funny. That is a legal precedent right? Or at least a political one. Except honking was a threat to national security. This is how the NDP cuts regulatory red tape.

  2. Tax free! Better’n the Caymans it seems.

    “I may not always launder yuan. But when I do, I make it Canada.”

    Wait… maybe I’m thinking Dos Equis…

    …ehh, either one. Carry on.

    1. H. R. – Money laundering is a growth industry in BC. This is what they meant when the told Alberta to diversify it’s economy, just like they had. And now they just advised cautious launderers how they can clean their money worry free. Money laundering consultancies will spring up all over southern BC creating more “green” jobs (money is still green in US currency).

    1. Yes, Ward. It’s our strength doncha know.

      Have you noticed how we are so much stronger lately?

      1. The only thing stronger I’ve noticed lately is the stench from Sodom on Rideau.

  3. And that, friends, is why I always do my taxes on the paper form, using only Roman Numerals.

    RNrn

  4. “And besides, it could get awkward.”

    No shit. No telling what Prog politician names would pop up in that investigation…

  5. Why not punish them with process like they do to everyone that thinks living in bounds of the law is a moral good?

  6. Meanwhile the commissioner Cullen, banked BOOKOO COIN for all his troubles.

    What did he charge, $500 an hour over these years? Woohoo, it’s great to be connected!

  7. When most of the population can see what is going on, but the bureaucrats and pencil-pushers are unable or unwilling to make a case with this kind of blatant, in your face,
    corruption and the MSM shrugs their collective shoulders and just prints the talking-point handouts, what will it finally take for the plebians to rise up and resist?

    My bad, we are talking about BC here.

    Back to your gruel and peanuts.

  8. “Mr. Cartwright, could I prepare your tax return this year while you’re out getting the cattle rustlers?”

  9. So, if it’s too much work, the Mountie’s new motto will be changed from “We always get our man” to “Meh, whatever.”

  10. How much in contributions did they get in order to reach the “correct” result?

    It’s much the same way as the Gambling house that was being run in Markham that the Yorkies botched

  11. Fear is a powerful motivator. Canada’s justice system has no problem throwing the book at white pastors standing up for Freedom of Religion but shrinks away at pointing a legal finger at a commnist regime interfering deeply with Canada’s democracy. The people doing this within our Justice System are committing acts of Treason. There’s no other way to put it.

  12. Gotta say this,

    If you follow the money, you will find it in NDP government..
    Not only that, you will find it in liberal seats and any other seats in the legislature, city council, school board and every other government agency.

    Goes deep, deep, deep.

    Why would the rulers want the public know that they are on the take?
    Better in Chinese than english.
    Heh … how many besides Chinese talks and understands Chinese?
    The fix is in and ain’t nobody going to do anything about it.
    Communist party of China will make sure of that.
    They, in any practical sense, own BC.

  13. Isn’t it racist to suggest the Chinese launder money? No ticky no laundry.

  14. The millions in laundered money likely led back to bigwigs at the Chinese Communist Party and their immunity is bought and paid for.

  15. Boy, it’s such a shame we don’t have anyone in Canada that can read or translate Mandarin. Otherwise for sure we woulda got ’em this time!

    1. If it is CCP and Chinese gangs, do members of the ‘Chinese’ community want to stick out their neck? You are taking on some bad boys. It is not just you at risk, your family is hostage too. Think you can stay anonymous? If they have infiltrated the PMO, no level of government or police is clean.

      1. Excellent point. Nobody capable of translating the documents and recordings will be willing to do so. And I suspect that no machine translation service would be willing to do the work, for pretty much the same reasons.

  16. I was first made aware of the money-laundering scandal in BC through the Roy Green show. He interviewed Sam Cooper on his book, ‘Wilfull Blindness’. I bought the book and was absolutely gobsmacked! That the Cullen Commission could find no cause for prosecution speaks loudly to the level of corruption within all levels of government.

  17. Ahhhh. Sooooo.

    You no plosecute us or we talk to pless bout bribe you take.

  18. This started with a BC NDP conspiracy theory about their political opponents enabling money laundering. It turned out that soft on crime Liberals in Ottawa were the villains in real life, and now they’re so frantic to sweep this under the carpet that they can’t even come up with coherent excuses. At such a sensitive time, those speaking Mandarin (or just looking like they might) could be going to the front of the line, but one suspects that the frantic Left hasn’t forgotten about diversity under the carpet altogether.
