Video tapes wiped? - Sounds like an inside job there. Given the kind of money Western Union transact and the possibility of money laundering the police would give them a hard time if they wiped tapes recording drug money moving. I would hazzard a guess there was a value threshold and a 30 day threhold on small sums. Keep telling people how Western Union protect their integrity, there is such a thing as bad publicity. People who handle money have nothing else to trade with.
