STUNNING! Wells Fargo launders Mexican drug cartel money, then invests in for-profit prisons.

Last year, Wells Fargo got hit with a slap on the wrist and a fine they could easily afford for laundering $378.4 Billion dollars of drug money for the Mexican drug cartels. If you're keeping score at home that means if you get busted smoking a joint you go to jail, but if you get busted laundering billions of dollars in drug cartel money you get a slap on the wrist. Now, here's the catch, if you get caught smoking pot and go to jail, Wells Fargo will make a profit off of that too thanks to America's growing for-profit prison system.

For more details on how Wells Fargo figured out how to flood America with illegal drugs for their own profit and then make money on the back end by of the deal when you get sent to jail, make sure to read this article at Salon.com...



Thanks for the thread, douglas.
