Souvent, pour faire un dépôt dans une institution financière au Canada comme aux États-Unis, on fait appel aux schtroumpfs, des passeurs d'argent à l'apparence anodine qui font plusieurs petits dépôts, généralement de moins de 10 000$, dans diverses institutions financières. Ainsi, une grosse somme d'argent liquide fait son entrée dans le système bancaire sans attirer l'attention. 1, record 1, French, - schtroumpf

Una segunda prioridad de los principios del GAFI [Grupo de Acción Financiera] es rastrear operaciones sospechosas y pasar el informe. En Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, cualquier transacción en efectivo de 10.000 dólares o más debe ser informada por escrito al [Servicio Federal de Rentas Internas]. De allí surgió un nuevo tipo de soldado de infantería de la causa del dinero sucio conocido como "smurf", quien transporta efectivo por todo el país haciendo depósitos más chicos que no necesitan ser declarados. 1, record 1, Spanish, - smurf
