My understanding is that begging and selling the big issue is used to generate small amounts of unattributable cash which is used to pump prime the business activities of the younger members of these families. You will find the older men and the women doing begging or big issue selling. Do a google search for "romanian cash machine fraud uk".
@hostroute I was a regular buyer of the Big Issue from 1991, when it first started as a fortnightly magazine in London, but I rarely buy it now. I'm not convinced that the Big Issue management has any proper control over the way the magazine is being sold to the public, and I have no trust in its ID scheme. The badges I believe in are (1) a dog on a piece of string, (2) a roll-up, or (3) a can of Special Brew. I read about ATM fraud - thanks. I also had a (cynical) laugh about Lavinia Olmazu.
