Illegal financial activity: legal and financial exposure (not a strategy)
Legal and financial consequences only; this is not an executable investment strategy.

The cited source lists money laundering and loan sharking only by name and legal character and explicitly excludes operational methods. This page is not a trading strategy and does not describe how to carry out or evade enforcement of unlawful activity. Its simulator only illustrates how asset restraint or forfeiture, monetary sanctions, restitution and legal-response costs could add up in a hypothetical case. Every amount is user-entered and is not a legal conclusion for any jurisdiction.
