Well, for those who are skeptical about the government and Wall Street's relationship with crime, this is a good record.

A UN advisor said that drug money saved the banks in the mid of the 2008 crash, with billions of dollars boosting their economy with all of it coming from the drug dealing.

$350 billion? I think it was the $27 trillion TARP.

So basically not only are these illegal activities known about and allowed by governments, the same governments that would throw you in jail for life for trying to do the same, but the scale of the corruption is in the hundreds of Billions of dollars.
