Suggested Answer: A, C

Money laundering through online marketplaces and trade-based money laundering both involve the manipulation of the value or quantity of goods to disguise the illicit origin of funds. Over-valuation of the stated price of goods and no evidence of delivery of goods or shipping expenses are two common indicators of such schemes. The other options are not specific to these methods of money laundering.

Hmm, I'd also throw in B. Fraudulent letters of credit are a classic move in trade-based money laundering.

I feel like D might be relevant too, but I can't recall if it's specifically tied to online marketplaces.

I think A and C could be right because over-valuation seems like a common tactic in both scenarios.

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'll eliminate the options that are clearly specific to only one method, then focus on the common scenarios between the two.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review my notes on the different money laundering methods to make sure I understand the similarities.

I've seen questions like this before. I think the key is to identify the overlapping techniques used in both online marketplaces and trade-based money laundering.

Okay, let's see. I know over-valuation and lack of evidence of delivery are red flags, but I'm not sure about the other options.
