went to the people who had it but they did it by using credit. so this became the bank of dhois for the internet underworld. talking about $6 billion over 7 years. $5 55 million transactions. really invented kind of a new model and to get there, you had to give your name date of birth and an e-mail but you could pretty much fill out anything you wanted. there was no verification and that was kind of the key. >> and where did this apparently come from? >> liberty reserve has been headquartered in different places, one of them costa rica but what they have here here is how it works. you've got a guy who is a hacker who is getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. and in the model, you had to remember there was mountains of cocaine, suitcases full of money, we put this money in a

bank. but a good investigator can trace all that back. this works so you get hundreds of thousands of dollars, you do a wire transfer to a money changer and he sends it to liberty reserve and they turn it to credit in your account. have you credits, which instead of cash, you send it to cocoon coconspirator coconspirator, charlie rose. they get it converted to cash and vice versa. and this was really the place to go. >> the arrival of cyber laundering. >> exactly. rr>> and coconspirators. >> one final question. was this a spiderweb that could lead them to criminals? >> it was certainly that. matching to people to the money, when the undercover accounts in this case, about joe bogus, and from nowhere in the usa and so on. and connecting up who was who is

the pattern that we have across the united states is causing a lot of severe weather. in fact, we also have a slight risk in the northeast during the day today. strong jet stream. strong upper-level low, butting heads with a lot of heat in the southeast. that's causing a stalemate in the atmosphere. the jet stream's not going to move for the next several days. and that means periods of severe weather with the possibility of tornadoes. straight through the weekend. charlie? gayle? norah? tea party republican congresswoman michele bachmann says she will leave the house of representatives next year. she made the announcement online this morning. >> my good friends, after a great deal of thought and deliberation, i have decided next year i will not seek a fifth congressional term to represent the wonderful people of the sixth district of minnesota. be assured my decision was not in any way influenced by any concerns about my being re-elected to congress and i have every confidence that if i ran, i would again defeat the

a new study finds most heart patients want a more active role in decisions about their health care. it's part of a trend that could affect the quality and cost of all medical treatment nationwide. dr. harlan crumholtz is one of the researchers behind the study and professor of cardiology at the yale school of medicine. good morning. >> good morning. >> doctor, i have to tell you when i first saw this study, i thought, well, of course. i mean if you're having heart surgery, wouldn't you want to be involved? i'm surprised that this is something different than what happened in the past. >> well i think there's a revolution coming. i mean, in the past patients were expected to be obedient and compliant. those who sought information and asked questions were the exceptions. sometimes with an eye roll. sometimes were put on a pedestal, and patients were often intimidated to question authority. in the future, i think you'll see something different. and this is, i think, the beginning of seeing patients who want to be informed and engaged. it's a difference. >> and doctors -- do you believe doctors want to be questioned, doctor?

>> well, look. >> if i come in and i have 50 million questions, at what point do you say, okay enough already? >> well, it's hard the way we're currently configuring care where there's 10 to 15 minutes and things are rushed. we have to find ways and get tools where we can sit down with people. and it's our responsibility to say things clearly and to help you understand and to create an environment where that works. right now it doesn't work well. and it can be a burden on the health care system. >> and if you do it there's no doubt that it will improve the quality of health care. >> i think by definition providing care that's aligned with your preferences, values and goals, understanding you, making sure you understand the options and the tradeoffs, that's got to be the highest quality care. and that's what we have to be able to accomplish. >> i would assume this has something to do with the internet and access to information today. >> yeah, there's no question about it. the idea that patients now have access to many sources of reliable information and some unreliable information. but the democratization of information, the spreading of it, the ability for people to get the facts and to seek it from different sources is a

really important change. >> how endow encourage us to be empowered patients? >> yeah this is important. i think for people listening the idea is you may not have a medical degree but you're an expert in how you feel. you can understand. you can be brave and ask questions. doctors, it's our responsibility to make things understandable. i tell people, bring someone with you. let them listen let them give you support. and you can find doctors who support your approach. >> do you expect people will continue to do this that they will be, you know that this will have a real impact on the doctors so that they will understand that they need to make time for it? >> yeah, i think in the end doctors will find this increases their satisfaction. there's nothing better than sitting down with an informed and engaged patient, working together as partners and trying to make the best decisions together. not one person dictating to the other, but doing it together. >> and will it affect the cost? up? down? >> yeah, my hunch is there are a lot of tests and procedures being done people wouldn't choose if they knew all the facts. if they actually talked about

things clearly and they knew the benefit was and what they had to go through to get it, i think in the end this actually could lower costs. it's not the principal reason but i think it could be a benefit. >> all right doctor always good to see you. thank you for coming in. from a camera that packs a punch to a 60-inch television i like that there are great deals on certain tech toys. we'll tell you about that coming up next on "cbs this morning."
