. >> woodruff: devlin barrett is covering this story for the "wall street journal," and has more details for us now. so, thank you for joining us. how much money was involved and what are some other examples of what was going on beside this box that fit through the tellers' window. >> the $800 million you mentioned is what they know was essentially laundered drug proceeds but there's also actually vast pools of billion of dollars of money where the bank wasn't paying attention and wasn't checking the basic principle of know your customer. personally one of my favorite little tidbits in this whole case is there was a sequence of transactions in a bank in japan in which they brought sequentially numbered travelers checks into this one little bank in japan totaling $290 million. no one seemed to have any idea where it was coming from. it all traced back to a guy in russia who claimed to be a used car salesman. >> woodruff: a used car salemans. >> with $290 million in sequentially numbered travelers checks. >> woodruff: isn't there supposed to be internal monitoring going on inside a bank? >
