On May 18, 1998, after a three-year, six nation undercover investigation
coded "Operation Casablanca," U.S. Customs Service
agents led by the Los Angeles office arrested 28 bankers and more than
130 other persons across the United States in the largest criminal money
laundering case in U.S. history. Approximately $35 million was seized. The
operation concluded when several targeted persons were lured to a party held at
a casino in Las Vegas. Three of Mexico's largest banks were indicted for money
laundering. The federal operation was run out of an undercover
"storefront" located in Santa Fe Springs.
On January 14, 1938, FBI agents
were stationed at every betting window of the Santa Anita racetrack. Each agent
had a list of money bills that had been previously paid out as a ransom. John
Henry Seadland stepped up and laid a $10 bet. He was arrested and eventually
executed in the electric chair for the kidnap-murder of Charles A. Ross. J.
Edgar Hoover called Seadland the “most vicious and cold-blooded killer” he
had ever come across.
