As a business owner, using cash to transact is really stupid. A check works just as well and doesn’t require you to carry a duffle full of bills, while also being able to contact your bank and void the check if the other party fails to meet obligation. Furthermore, by using cash he doesnt have any record of purchase from the bank stating he spent x to invest in the business, which is tax deductable. Honestly looks like he was trying to avoid sales tax or do something shady, or was just really dumb, either way, not a wise move on his end but the gov. Shouldnt take non illegal funds
