111 - High Volume Grilling

Rumour has it that Yam Yam's Southern Cooking Barbecue of Portland, Oregon, laundered $300K of cocaine money a month.

In order to successfully pull off the ruse, Yam Yam's senior management would need to convincingly portray the illusion of that level of BBQ sales volume. Assuming a plate of grits goes for $6, that's 50,000 orders a month, or 1666 per day.

That's a very popular restaurant. I wonder if their bankers ever paid them a visit to see that astounding volume for themselves.

Common sense + Know Your Customer = Risk Management
