Money Mules

A money mule, sometimes called a "smurfer", is a person who transfers money acquired illegally, such as through theft or fraud, on behalf of others. Money mules move funds in person, through courier services, or electronically. Typically, they are paid a small portion of the transferred money for their services.
Money mules are often recruited online under the guise of legitimate employment opportunities, unaware that the money they are transferring is the proceeds of criminal activities. Similar techniques are used to transfer illegally obtained merchandise.
== Recruitment and Operation ==
Commonly, money mules are recruited through job advertisements for positions like "payment processing agents", "money transfer agents", or "local processors". The real benefit to the criminals is not the work carried out by the mule, but the ability to distance themselves from the risky and visible transfer of funds.
Some money mules are recruited through online romance scams, where an attractive person convinces them to receive and forward money. After deducting a relatively small payment for themselves, the mules are asked to accept funds and forward them to a third party, often under the guise of remote work. Legitimate companies use escrow services for such transactions.
Money mules recruited online are typically used to transfer proceeds from online fraud schemes like phishing, malware scams, or auction site scams. After money or merchandise is stolen, the criminal employs a mule to transfer the funds or goods, hiding their true identity and location from the victim and authorities. By using instant payment mechanisms like Western Union, the mule allows the thief to transform a reversible and traceable transaction into an irreversible and untraceable one.
In some cases, an innocent third party's bank details are compromised and used as a mule without their knowledge, a tactic known as "Cuckoo smurfing". Criminals trading in stolen or illegally acquired goods also recruit mules to receive packages and forward them to untraceable mail drops.
== Penalties ==
Money mules are complicit in criminal activities and risk prosecution and long jail sentences. In 2010, the FBI Cyber Crimes Task Force charged over 37 defendants involved in a highly organized money mule scheme facilitated by the Zeus Financial Trojan, which resulted in the theft of over $3 million from victim bank accounts.
To avoid becoming a money mule, individuals should never agree to receive or send money or packages for unknown parties, take jobs promising easy money involving money transfers, open bank or cryptocurrency accounts at someone else's direction, send money to online romantic interests, or pay to collect prizes or "winnings".

Money laundering

Money laundering is the act of disguising the origin of money obtained through illegal activities so that it appears to have come from a legitimate source. It usually involves sending the money through various financial transactions to change its form and make it difficult to follow: for example, bank-to-bank transfers, wire transfers between different accounts in different countries, and changing the type of currency. 
­The most common types of criminals who need to launder money are drug traffickers, embezzlers, corrupt politicians and public officials, mobsters, terrorists and con artists.
In the U.S., the Department of Justice, the State Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service and the Drug Enforcement Agency all have divisions investigating money laundering. State and local police also investigate cases that fall under their jurisdiction. The international community combats money laundering with the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), and The United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund also have anti-money-laundering divisions.

Money market

__NOTOC__
The money market, sometimes called the cash market, is a sub-section of the fixed income securities market and characterized by trading in low-yield, short-term government and corporate debt that matures in less than a year. These instruments are generally considered extremely safe, although global money markets have recently also suffered from higher interest rates and volatility.
== Dealer's choice ==
Unlike most financial markets, the money market is a dealer market, meaning that investors buy and sell the securities at their own risk without intermediaries or a central trading floor. Instead of through brokers, money-market instruments - which include Treasury bills, certificates of deposit (CDs), Eurodollars, commercial paper and banker's acceptances (BAs) - trade over the telephone or via electronic trading platforms, usually in very high denominations. Retail investors can gain exposure via money-market funds (essentially mutual funds of short-term debt) and money-market deposit accounts.
== Latest news ==
Investors in money-market funds received an unexpected jolt in mid-September 2008 when sector pioneer Reserve Primary Fund announced it had "broken the buck", or returned a loss of three cents on the dollar, after investing in Lehman Brothers' debt. No other fund has reported similar losses and analysts said its unlikely they would, although smaller funds are more vulnerable. Money market deposit accounts operated by banks, by contrast, are insured for up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC)

Moody's Investors Service

Moody's Investors Service is a source for credit ratings, research and risk analysis. In addition to its core ratings business, Moody’s provides research data and analytic tools for assessing credit risk, and publishes market-leading credit opinions, deal research and commentary. It serves more than 9,300 customer accounts at some 2,400 institutions around the globe.
== History ==
Entrepreneur John Moody published Moody's Manual of Industrial and Miscellaneous Securities in 1900, the same year he founded John Moody & Company. The manual provided information and statistics on stocks and bonds of financial institutions, government agencies, manufacturing, mining, utilities, and food companies. It sold out within two months. By 1903, Moody's Manual was known all over the U.S.
Moody was forced to sell the manual business when the stock market crashed in 1907. He returned to the financial market in 1909, offering investors analysis of security values in addition to statistical information on companies. He began publishing Moody's Analyses of Railroad Investments, which analyzed the railroads and their outstanding securities and offered conclusions about their quality. 
In 1913, Moody & Co. launched an evaluation of industrial companies and utilities. By that time, the "Moody's ratings" had become a factor in the bond market. On July 1, 1914, Moody's Investors Service was incorporated. That same year, Moody began expanding rating coverage to bonds issued by U.S. cities and other municipalities. By 1924, Moody's ratings covered nearly 100 percent of the U.S. bond market.
Moody's continued to publish and monitor ratings during The Depression, and in the 1970s, the ratings were extended to the commercial paper market and bank deposits.
In early June of 2010, billionaire investor Warren Buffett and Moody's Corp. were scheduled to face questions from a bipartisan panel probing the roots of the financial crisis. Rating agencies like Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings had been criticized for giving unrealistically high ratings to complex investments backed by risky mortgages and other assets.

| style="height:100px; width:700px; text-align:left;" |
Mooning refers to the phenomenon of a cryptocurrency's price rising sharply upward "toward the moon." Mooning often reflects customers' belief in a particular cryptocurrency's probable price action. While the moon may be the most optimistic price forecast, mooning might also connote that the price movement is fake, according to the New York Times.
Mooning found frequent usage during the 2017-18 bitcoin and other cryptocurrency run-up in prices. Mooning was not common used to describe the sharp upward price trajectories if many coins during the 2020-21 price run-up when bitcoin reached almost $64,000.

Moore Capital Management LP

Moore Capital Management LP is an employee-owned hedge fund sponsor providing its services to institutions and high-net-worth individuals. The firm is run by founder Louis Bacon. As of July 2013, the firm held approximately $12.1 billion in assets under management. 
Moore operates a number of hedge funds including its flagship Moore Global Investment fund, Moore Capital Emerging Markets, Moore Global Fixed Income, Moore Japan Restructuring, Remington Investment Strategies, and Valence Capital Management.
== History ==
Bacon started Moore Capital in 1989 and, in the following year, he placed a series of trades around Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and the subsequent gulf war. The firm's resulting 115 percent two-year return led to a substantial inflow of assets under management. Over the years, Bacon enjoyed continued success in analyzing geopolitical events and their effects on the market. His 20-year track record from 1990 to 2010 was 20.5 percent.
At its peak in 2003, Moore managed over $20 billion. After a 15 percent drawdown during the 2008 crisis, a period which Bacon said he was "demoralized" because the firm had called for a market panic yet still lost money, Bacon decided to return $2 billion to investors. In 2012, during the European debt crisis, a political environment that Bacon said is "trying to thwart natural market outcomes," he opted downsize the flagship fund. 
==Legal Troubles== 
In May of 2010, Moore Capital Management LP, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG’s securities division agreed to pay more than $39 million to settle separate allegations regarding trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Moore Capital would pay $25 million to settle the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s allegation that a former portfolio manager attempted to manipulate platinum and palladium futures during a surge in prices two years ago.
In March of 2010, a Moore Capital Management trader was arrested in conjunction with charges of insider trading on London.
In August 2013, Moore Capital agreed to pay $48.4 million to settle a class-action lawsuit asserting that the hedge fund manipulated platinum and palladium prices by engaging in a practice known as "banging the close." Under the settlement, Moore is under a two-year restriction from trading within 15 minutes of the close in the palladium and platinum futures and options markets.
