Guys, did I miss anything or is there free lunch in this world after all?

First, money comes in to SG to buy property, cars, etc:
i. Collect GST, ABSD, other taxes +$$$
ii. Stimulates the economy for GDP growth

Then, when other govt come & kaopeh about these suspicious transactions:
i. Freeze and confiscate the billions of dollars involved (without refund of any taxes) +$$$
ii. Sentence the money launderers to jail -$
After a few months, extradite them back to their home country
( thus saving further expenses that might be incurred from hosting them in our jail)
iii. Afterwards, fine the banks, lawyers, property companies Millions of dollars each +$$$

I don’t think it’s those big 4 law firms …maybe small law firms do the conveyancing because it’s resale…normally big law firm they do those big condominium projects

The money laundering case opens up a can of worms.

Many Singapore firms from various industries are involved, and so are many individuals from these industries. Even some of our ministers had dined with the launders prior to the arrest. Billionaires in Singapore also known these launders.

People must understand that before the arrest, the launders were rubbing shoulders with high level people from politics to companies, and so forth. These launders are not men on the street. They are super atas, like Crazy Rich Asia kind of characters.

Many people do not even bother to understand why did someone who is the early 30s to 40s make such a fortune. One of the launders bought 10 units at luxury condominium Canninghill Piers at one go. People only see $$$, that's all. They do not care whether money is clean or not.

For conveyance of such values, very likely these are big name law firms.

only sinkies buying $2-3M properties, and one only, look for cheapest deals.
