Money laundering in Montreal? Pas possible!

According to the Montreal Gazette in October 2011 the International Money Laundering Conference in downtown Montreal attracted more than 600 delegates from 48 countries.

After all, what location could surpass that of Montreal where hoodlums are lionized and a public enquiry into corruption among politicians and construction companies will finally soon be underway after months of stalling by Quebec's premier? Where the Gazette routinely reports on Mafia killings and the exploits of the Hell's Angels?

No doubt delegates had fun swapping heavy suitcases full of cash from the four dozen countries.

It's Always Healthier to Wash Your Hands

Two Montreal men tried to fool a Calgary sailboat seller by offering to buy two sailboats (worth a cool $100,000) with cash. [Postmedia News] 

Catch was that their "cash" had to be smuggled into the country disguised as plain paper. The scam artists washed such a piece of paper with a chemical to transform it into a $50 note.

But the boat salespeople were suspicious and called the police. The men have been charged with fraud.

Gives a whole new meaning to "money laundering."

Burglar demands two weeks' pay

(vegadsl)

After a New Brunswick man was arrested for breaking into the place where he worked he later demanded 2 weeks' pay because his boss had not given him the customary two weeks' notice!

A tribunal actually awarded the would-be thief over $900. However, New Brunswick's Labour and Employment Board reversed that decision, concluding that his burglary "constituted just cause for termination of his employment." [Montreal Gazette].

The man served time in house arrest for the break-in.
