Longread #375 -- Bloodlines -- 8/28/13

Ok, it's another true crime story. Again, I think the angle on this one is unique as it provides context to better understand how money laundering -- a hidden but critical element of criminal organizations -- can happen. My thinking with this article was that if the money launderers had not brought so much attention to themselves with big spending, they likely would have been able to avoid capture.
