investigation has led us to various financial tools used by the gang to finance

their operations and to move proceeds of their crime," state Division of

Criminal Justice Director, Gregory Paw told the Star Ledger. "It was a significant

issue for us to learn how they have infiltrated legitimate businesses and used

sophisticated techniques to finance their endeavors."Abbey
