An average day in Altea has turned into an exciting one. The Security and IT Department at Cascabel-Otienda Bank found several money laundering schemes and scam rings at much smaller local banks who use Cascabel-Otienda's financial service software. The banks, mainly found in rural areas and quiet suburbs, were found laundering money to shady businesses including chocolatiers, bakers, pipe cleaners, and jewelers. 

Cascabel-Otienda sent an alert to Royal Councilor Cascabel, who is in charge of the Royal Treasury via the Royal Council, and told him that further economic restrictions and regulations are needed. The Royal Treasury who controls policy regarding Egelian Crowns, explained that further regulation to the Crown system would put several roadblocks for other financial institutions to access and crown and cause a decrease in use.

But that is not the majority opinion, some say that adding more protections to the Crown System at the treasury will cause more confidence in the crowns and hopefully improve the standing of Egelion's institutions. More regulations will improve the efficiency of the system and avoid laundering schemes that undermine the institutions. Cascabel-Otienda is no stranger to international cooperation. Regulations may be more helpful.

Pablo Velazquez, one of the men who discovered the laundering scheme at a chocolatier shop, stated: "Mannn, Ay do not no whi dese peoples want to esteal maney. It is ridikulos. It makes os luke like we are lusing maney. Don get me wrang, I love shocolate, but to use et as a skeme? Facking ridiculos."

Reports also are coming in that Cascabel-Otienda is working with private contracts to discover who is leading laundering schemes and negative sources of income in Egelion. Several gem traders and illegal black market activities specifically coming from Dovani are being investigated alongside the laundering schemes, but the IEI (Egelion's intelligence agency) is currently unable to find connections so far. Rumors circulate gem traders are seen in Altea on the royal grounds, but they are simply rumors. The palace potentially engaging in illegl trade would be "facking ridiculos", using Velazquez most popular words.
