“A CBC/Radio-Canada investigation has uncovered methods organized crime may be using to launder money through privately owned automated tellers, or ATMs. There are almost 38,000 of the ATMs, also known as ‘white label’ cash machines because they are not bank-owned, scattered across the country — nearly double the number of bank-owned ATMs. It is a growing, lucrative industry. Placed in hotel lobbies, bars and food courts, they provide quick access to cash, albeit with an annoying surcharge. But experts believe some machines may have a more nefarious role.”
