Diaspora Payment Pipelines Fund Crime

Transnational fraud networks deliberately exploit diaspora remittance channels, prepaid cards, SIM‑swap vulnerabilities and informal couriers to convert local theft into offshore receipts; those pipelines make high‑volume, low‑risk extraction possible across many U.S. jurisdictions. Closing these channels requires coordinated AML/crypto rules, better remittance traceability, and law‑enforcement–financial institution collaboration. — If true, this reframes immigration and anti‑fraud policy: remittance and payment policy become central levers of national security and public‑finance protection rather than niche banking technicalities.
