Message Cult Caught Laundering Money
"Message" cult leader Vin Dayal has officially been charged[1] with money laundering after a mistake made in Trinidad and Tobago. Two years ago, the Trinidad government forced a change in currency in an attempt to prevent laundering of money, a huge problem for the country. On the last day of the transition, Vin Dayal attempted to convert $28 million in the old currency. Government officials immediately held the money, and found millions more stashed in the church and at home.

A pastor from south Trinidad, who allegedly attempted to change almost $28 million in old $100 notes into new polymer replacements on the deadline for doing so almost two years ago, has been granted $10 million bail after appearing in court charged with money laundering.
