Elizabeth
Shwiff, principal of the accounting firm Shwiff, Levy & Polo, is a
real go-getter. She started her business in 1989 by knocking on
doors, talking her way in, and making her pitch, according to a
glowing profile published this February in the San Francisco
Business Times. "Most people don't have the assertiveness I have,"
the story quoted her as saying. "I have no shame." |

"More money laundering is
done in the U.S. than in any other country in the world, and I have
no doubt much of it is done knowingly and willingly," says
David Marchant, editor of
Offshore Business News & Research,
an investigative newsletter that covers money-laundering issues.
"It's all about money, after all. Banks and insurance companies make
a fortune [from money laundering]. A lot of banks make a lot of
money, because they couldn't care [less] who they do business with." |
