WTKR Up To The Minute February 3, 2016

Yesterday we brought you into the seedy world of Money Laundering where lawyers and accountants set up shell come pans and offshore Bank Accounts to hide illgotten games. Global witness went undercover. Their investigator posing as an african government minister. Steve croft has part two of the 60 minutes story anonymous. Good to see you. The undercover investigator who called himself ralph kaiser told the lawyers the minister used his official position to collect tens of millions of dollars in special spamts from foreign comepayments from foreign companies. He wanted to move the money to the United States to buy a house, a jet, and a yacht. So, wants to bring in the money. So, started with the brownstone. And then probably, buying gulf stream jet. He wants to commission the building of a yacht and property. The story was intentionally lead the lawyers to believe that the ministers money was dirty. During the meetings. Only one of the 16 lawyers, jeffrey herman, told him no. My standards are higher. Reporter the rest expressed varying degrees of interest with most offering advice on how it could be done. We do everything. Soup to nuts. There is no limitation. We dont say, oh, we dont do windows. Or, we deal with the financial money managers, whatever. No, no, no. We orchestrate and organize the entire thing. We are happy to take that responsibility. What is important to point out it canbe overstated is that none of the lawyers we have shown you broke any laws. In part, because the african minister didnt really exist. There were no hundred of millions of dollars and Global Witnesss representative said no money changed hand. It wasnt. It was ape test test on the system. People could make the are gau argument, all the guys did. Office. Didnt make a deal. Need to sign up. We need to do research. That. They need to say something. Those lawyers laid out in considerable detail, a myriad of different ways to bring money into america. Reporter none of the lawyers agreed to take on the african minister as a client. Nor were they asked to. It was preliminary that ended with most attorneys expressing interest in continuing the die leg and some enthusiastic about landing the business. Give me a chat when it is possible. Move the ball forward on this. Great. Excellent. Thank you for coming in. Mark koplic and albert grant foresaw no frob lem as long as money was clean. Did no indication they would do they went so far as to discuss legal fees. Substantial. 50,000 to 100,000. Koplic suggested a testen which a portion of suspicious fund would be sent into the United States. Dlr 1 million. 1 million. A test. I said probably would start around 50 million. I could imagine. 1 million. 1 million. Anything goes wrong. Painful. But it wont be like. Exactly. John jankoff and partner Lawrence Gabe offcamera also seemed willing to go forward. Orchestrate it one legal fee cover everything. Gabe did express concerns about the transactions. Who can set up the structure, could you dupe it . O it . Okay. I dont think he does it with money that may be questionable. We have to find out about. At end of the meeting they look forward to the next not on email. Give me a phone number. Sending an email with an outline. I dont like emails. Thats how you catch people. The hidden camera tapes raise all sorts of ethical questions not just about the behavior of the lawyers but about the methods used by Global Witness in making them the we showed the footage to bill simon, law professor at columbia university, one of the countrys top legal ethicists. I think its, draw as tension to the fact that lawyers may be playing an Important Role in Money Laundering that requires more scrutiny. Have you ever seen anything like this before . No. Never. Never. What is your overall impression of sniltit . Any lawyer is big to be uncomfortable. This was a sting. Somebody lied his way into a Lawyers Office and secretly reported statements, a lawyer thought he was making to a thats kind of unprecedented and inconsistent with the norms about confidentiality. I am uneasy about that. On the other hand. I think that the tapes expose conduct of great public consequence. Valuable the public sees it. Yeah, very valuable. Confidentiality. Benefit of client. Not the lawyer. Lawyers benefit from it. Because conduct that goes on under the protection of confidentiality, is never scrutinized by the public. Lawyers are never accountable for it. So the sting actually brings some accountability to conduct that ought to be accountable. In its own report, Global Witness includes an opinion from two legal ethicists including bill simon of columbia. It says that if attorneys mark koplic, john jankoff and gerald ross had been responding to a real request their conduct would not comply with professional responsibilities of lawyers. It said the attorneys displayed a cynical, and evasive attitude the ethicist also noted that the rules were vague and we do not expect that all lawyers will agree with this. Simon put then aba president james silkenaught and Hugh Finnegan in a different cat go, even though they provided advice. What makes him different from other lawyers . He was quite clear he would not assist illegal conduct. He indicated at one point he would report the client if he found the client engaged in illegal conduct. Also, he was fairly clear that he would need more information before he agreed to represent the client. Reporter on the other hand he clearly seems interested in this. He clearly seems interested and enthusiastic about it. Reporter anything wrong with that . I find it regrettable. But i am not sure as a professional responsibility, authority, could say inconsistent with duties under the only lawyer who fulfilled the ideals was jeffrey herman. Listened to the pitch, decided it probably involved, illegal activity and ended the meeting. This aint for me. Not interested. Do you know anybody who would be able . I dont think so. And i wouldnt recommend either. Yeah, yeah. Because those persons would be insulted. You can see the full twopart series on our website. Cbs news. Com.

For the first time in this country, the zika virus has spread through sexual contact. And betting on the super bowl. Even small advertisers are hoping to score big. I spent all my years believing you announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Hillary clinton made history, though not the way she hoped. She was declared the winner of iowas democratic caucuses by the smallest margin ever. Against Bernie Sanders on his new england home turf next week. New hampshire is also where Republican Donald Trump will be looking for a comeback after losing to ted cruz and barely edging out marco rubio. Our campaign 2016 correspondents are on the trail. And first go to Major Garrett with the republicans. God bless the great state of New Hampshire. So what a victory last night. Reporter after earning the most iowa caucus votes in gop history, ted cruz boasted he defied the odds. Every tv pundit on virtually every station said cruz cant win, no chance cruz is going to win iowa, not going to happen. It would be trump, trump. Trump. Reporter but it wasnt. Trump fell 6,000 votes short and gave an uncommonly subdued concession speech. We finished second. I want to till you something, i am just honored. Really honored. Trump complained on twitter he had not been given any credit by the voters for self funding his campaign and the media has not covered my long shot great finish in iowa fairly. Trump called cruzs victory speech, long, rambling and overly flamboyant. The race is quickly becoming a battle among, trump, cruz and marco rubio. The florida senator says he is in better possession to be the nominee than cruz. Who is closer now . I think i am. We are one delegate apart. Second i give us the best chance to unify the party. You cant win if the party is divided but to grow it. Reporter rubios momentum comes with attacks from kasich, bush, and christie who need strong showings in New Hampshire to stay viable. See if he will answer your questions, stand up and take that. I dont thing he will or can. What do you think that its about . Sometimes when people are they will regret later on. Christie finished 10th. Cruz worked hard for his victory in iowa. Holding 2 3 as many events as trump, a third more than rubio. Do the math, trump collected twice as many votes per iowa visit as cruz. Worth remembering, Iowa Republicans havent picked the nominee since 2000. Major garrett for us tonight. Thank you. Now to the democrats. Here is nancy cordes. I am so thrilled that i am coming to New Hampshire after winning iowa reporter the first woman ever to win the Iowa Caucuses did it by. 2 . Conceding the race in iowa. Last i saw we were four delegates down. As the i understand it, there was some precincts where delegates were one with the flip of the coin. We want to take a, a look at that. At least six precincts broke a tie with a coin toss. Hillary clinton. Split, caused challenges elsewhere too. Well should a realignment. In the end, 84 of young voters, under the age of 30, went for sanders. But 58 of caucus goers were 50 and up. And they went overwhelmingly for clinton. The Granite State is rockier territory for clinton. The latest cbs news Battleground Tracker shows sanders leading in New Hampshire by 19 points. His democratic socialist message plays well with the states large independent population. It sounds to me like you are ready for a political revolution. Reporter sanders also has something of a Home Field Advantage here. He is from neighboring vermont. Clinton has the deep ties here too, scott, it is here she iowa. Nancy cordes, thank you. Caucuses, republican mike years ago. He did poorly last night and dropped out. So did democrat martin omalley. Clinton picked up 22 National Convention delegates in iowa. Sanders, 21. But thats a little misleading because clinton already has 362 superdelegates. Party leaders who pledged their votes to her. That brings her now to 384 or about 16 of the 2,382 she needs. After New Hampshire, the polls indicate the primaries are expected to break clintons way. On the republican side, cruz picked up eight delegates, trump, rubio, seven. They need a little over 1,200. So, far to go. John dickerson, our cbs news face the nation. John, we heard what a difference an election makes. Tell me how has the race changed . Whats the new framework . We have been talking about the race in terms of establishment, versus the outsider. We shoe look, ideology, versus electability. Look at entrance polls in iowa, who shares your val use . They went for ted cruz. When they were asked who do you think can win in november, the large share went to marco rubio. Going into New Hampshire, ted cruz is saying im the true consistent conservative. The keeper of the flame. Rally to my light. Marco rubio is saying i can beat hillary clinton. Tell me where does this go from here . Well, marco rubio did well in iowa in part because he did better than expectations. But now he is saying he is in the top tier, he is the alternative to cruz and trump. Those exp
