I spend hours and hours to understand the scheme involve here .
But I do not Get it . How they launder money ?

Let say I have Interactive broker Account in my home country under my name.
I want to transfer the Money to Offshore corporate account using Mirror Trading .
How to perform that ?

Like I buy Bluechip stock in Home country and Sell same on Offshore .

How to make sure that I lose on the Home country trade and win on the offshore.

I simply do not get it .

How can you make sure that you loose every time on home country trading account ?

Thanks

For example spread is between 0.2 and 0.3.

Home: A
Offshore: B

B buys some shares at any price to create buffer, "trade body".
B sells "trade body" shares to A at 0.299.
A sells "trade body" shares back to B at 0.201.
B sells "trade body" shares to A at 0.299.
A sells "trade body" shares back to B at 0.201.

This way you are transferring funds from A to B by repeating these wash trades. It is only possible because of the existing spread. The bigger "trade body" is, the faster transfer will go.

This technique is very easy to spot.
