It is a pain to report it. If you have enough proof, go for it! I wish you lots of luck!

It kinds of depends on the scale of it and who is doing it, that is an individual or organization, citizen or non-citizen. If it's a foreign organization or somebody who is suspected to be tied to it, you go to homeland security. If it's drug related or some other illegal activities like theft, you go to FBI. In either case you have to have some kind of evidence otherwise they may not be able to take you seriously even if they want. If it's just an individual sending money offshore without reporting to IRS to avoid tax, you report to IRS. However, you need to reveal your identity when you report somebody to IRS and from what I heard just for doing that, IRS will examine your tax return as well (this is to discourage somebody making a false accusation to get somebody in trouble). Also if you know which bank is being used for doing so, you could also call the bank and talk to anti money laundering specialist, which a lot of banks have these days (not all of them).

I believe that would fall under federal jurisdiction. Now with the reorganization of many agencies under homeland security, it is hard to know where to start. Try starting with the FBI and simply tell them why you suspect there is money laundering. You do not have to pull together a case like an attorney or launch an all out investigation...that is what they are there for.

If you dont want to be guilty by association, let it rip. My hubby spent 14 years in prison because he wouldnt snitch. I would rather sing like a bird than to be locked up in prison.

Is the law being broken? If you are aware of a crime and dont report it you can faces criminal charges yourself. Report it!
