Yakuza Laundering via Pokémon Cards Japanese yakuza are reportedly laundering money using Pokémon cards, exploiting their high liquidity and easy transport. Some cards can fetch thousands of dollars, enabling the mafia to purchase sets with illicit funds, smuggle them abroad, and sell to collectors for substantial gains. They employ a scheme to locate rare cards, using methods like weighing boosters and employing metal detectors. #Yakuza#MoneyLaundering#PokémonCards#IllicitTrade#Collectibles#Japan#CriminalScheme#RareCards#HighValue#Smuggling#BlackMarket#Money#Gaming#Investment#Detective#Counterfeit
