https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/icij-banking-1.5733835" The financial sector was rocked this week by a report alleging that a number of banks — JPMorgan, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Deutsche Bank and Bank of New York Mellon among them — have continued to profit from illicit dealings with disreputable people and criminal networks despite previous warnings from regulators. "

" The consortium reported that documents indicate that JPMorgan moved money for people and companies tied to the massive looting of public funds in Malaysia, Venezuela and the Ukraine. The bank also processed more than $50 million in payments over a decade for Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, according to the documents, which are known as the FinCEN Files. "

Basically the news story says that $2 Trillion dollars were laundered by large western banks.

How can criminals so easy launder money by the trillions but half the guys on here struggle to get a legitimate offshore bank account open? are criminals just that much smarter than the average person here?

Like I don't understand.

Money talks!! You can open an account in any bank if you deposit what they ask you to.
The fact you started with a big balance and you pay higher fee's the bank can justify to themselves you are worth the headache.

Let's be honest your banker knows what is going on so you keep him happy and he will keep you happy.

Easy. Use Goldman Sachs or JPM or any other investment banker to structure a deal for you. They will take 2-4% of the deal value and will then be very happy to handle your money as well, sometimes even insist on doing it. The Malaysian scam was conducted by Goldman Sachs and they will have earned plenty of fees on all the dealings.

Well your first mistake is thinking that they can launder money 'so easy' as you said. Laundering the money could very well be even harder for them than generating the cash in the first place.

All this proves is what @CaptK said correctly - money talks. It has been true for thousands of years and it will be true til the end.
 
So according to this article, big western banks are basically stealing money from Malaysia, Venezuela and the Ukraine, and the profit is going to western countries and western shareholders ...

I'm sorry what is you don't understand here ?
