18 Translate the interview with a fraud squad detective and explain in English the meaning of the words and phrases in bold type. Fraud and embezzlement
“I'm Sam Woo. I've been a fraud squad detective for 20 years and I've seen a lot!
Once, a gang counterfeited millions of banknotes in a garage. We found US$10 million in counterfeit notes. They were very good quality. Counterfeiting or forgery of banknotes was a problem, but now all the forgers are in jail.
Faking luxury goods like Rolex watches was also a problem, but we're working hard to close workshops where fakes are made.
There have been bad cases of fraud where someone offers to lend money, but demands that the borrower pays a "fee" before they get the loan. People can be stupid.
And there's embezzlement, a type of fraud where someone illegally gets money from their employer. One accountant sent false invoices to the company he worked for, and paid money from his company into bank accounts of false companies he had "created". He embezzled $2 million - quite a scam.
There used to be a lot of racketeers demanding "protection money" from businesses. If they didn't pay, their businesses were burnt down.
Money laundering, hiding the illegal origin of money, is common - gangsters buy property with money from drugs. When they sell the property, the money becomes "legal". But banks now help by telling us when someone makes a large cash deposit.”
