I lived in Vegas for a few years and there are pawn shops that are just full of junk. They would be annoyed that they’d have a customer. I always knew it was because it wasn’t there to make money but to launder it.

[@AchillesWrath1]

That doesn't make any sense because you've still got to sell stuff and show tax documents if you're earning an income. You can't report a million dollars a year in income if you've got no customers. I think pawn store workers are just generally grumpy people and that's what you probably picked up on.

[@troythegardener]

@@AchillesWrath1 you clearly weren't listening. You just pretend you had customers and use the drug money for these fictitious transactions.

[@Jeffdachefz]

@@AchillesWrath1 it wont be a million dollars, it'll clear 100k-300k a year at best they will have multiple legit businesses, not just one. Strip clubs, casinos are usually the best to launder money due to high cash use, other businesses include nail salons or barber shops, night clubs and even laundromats and car washes to controlling the city's ATM machines where all the drug money becomes legit passive income money . Proper accounting takes care of everything even tax audits. Which is why drug lord's accountants are their life blood more important than their cicarios. All thats needed to be done is to open up a consulting or digital marketing company and charging these businesses stupid amounts for online marketing(yes you'll have to actually run a legit marketing business and hire staff) and viola easy money transfer without it even needing to be a gift. Money will be double taxed but money will be extra clean.

As a wise old timer once said to me when I thought I was an invincible kid: you have to be permanently lucky, the law only has to get lucky once and you're finished. Far better to put your time, talent and hard work into something legitimate. Even if you fail, you've gained experience and some wisdom about what went wrong and how to improve. If you're getting up to shady dealings, the entire ship almost always goes down with you and then you're looking at not being able to do something positive with your time when you're locked up. I feel for kids these days, because the opportunities to make legitimate money are dwindling by the year and the lure of 'easy money' must be very hard to turn down when the alternatives aren't always obviously apparent. Still, it's better to make honest money as a plumber or an electrician than risk being locked up and then finding that it's even more difficult to make good honest cash on the outside when your name has a record attached to it. You aren't always going to sleep wondering if the law aren't coming through your door at 6am either. There's a lot to be said for being able to sleep without anxiety and a relatively clear conscience. So called 'easy money' is anything but once you factor in the psychological effects it has on a person.

[@Smokeyxz]

You have to be lucky everytime, the law has to be lucky once. That’s a phrase I was told often.

[@kylefellows2513]

So very true .

[@rayman9710]

@@ryans4337 you forgot the key part, when having large sums of cash the bank want to know where it comes from. Drug money has no paper trail. Going to the casino with cash (you can take any amount and they won’t ask where it’s from), get chips. Play for 2-3 hours, the goal is to make some money but oh well if you lose say 10% of your chips (remember you’re not playing to gamble you’re here to clean money, think of it as your tax to launder, 10% isn’t bad). After this period you cash out at the casino, KEY part here is you ask for the receipt of the cash of from the casino. Go to the bank cash in, they ask where it’s from, you say casino with the receipt. Gambling is non taxable and for what anyone knows someone could flip $500 to $10k. Money = Laundered.

IRS has ratios of sales to profits for every type of business. If they notice that your profit margin differs markedly from the record store in the next town, they are going to want to know why. If you cannot offer a satisfactory explanation, they will issue a sky-high tax assessment, which you will have to pay.

Low end you could probably just find a buddy that wants to play baller. Give him whatever you can trust him with with orders to go be a baller at your place.

Spitting straight FACTS 🔥💯

Cash gifting at that magnitude and rate would unlikely pass the IRS “sniff test”. If something seems a to not quite ‘fit’, like getting tens of thousands of dollars from dozens of people as “gifts”, they can, and will, seize the money until “source of funds” is proven beyond any doubt. And, just because it might be “illegal” to leverage these “gifters” against you - but all it takes is one of them to have done something questionable (outside the gifting) to turn them. The Cash businesses and international real-estate is, hands-down, the best way to do this. Allegedly. Oh, btw, the United States is the most prolific Tax Haven in the world!

@@tonymarselle8812 $16,000 is the exclusion limit these days. However, if you become ‘interesting’ to any law enforcement agency with teeth and/or the IRS be prepared to prove source of funds then have those who provided you this yearly gift become ‘interesting’ to those same entities. I’m not saying it can’t be done, I know it can, it just tends to implode when pressure is applied to lots of your “gifting” associates. How typical is it to get gifted over $50k/yr? None of the stand-alone flags of money laundering will take you down by themselves - the mosaic they all create when law enforcement put them together over time is what brings the enterprise down.

I remember reading a story on the internet when I was a kid about this teenager who took a bag of money from the back of a Wells Fargo truck parked in front of a grocery store. He hid the money in the wall behind the water heater in his parents house. Apparently there was some kind of small trap door there that was an access to the plumbing. Anyway a few months later his parents sold the house and the family moved to Colorado but he couldn't get the money out of the wall before they left so he had to leave it behind. The new owners didn't know about the money and never found it. Years later when this kid was now an adult and pretty successful, the house came on the market and he was able to purchase it and finally retrieved the money. The story ended there so it never said what he did with it but it was a pretty interesting story.

Seizing money is called Civil Asset and it can happen to anyone. And they don't even have to charge you with a crime. If you're driving down the road with $10k in cash and get pulled over, the cops can say that they think its the proceeds of crime and take it. You have to sue them to get it back, and you won't get all of it back if you win.

Start a landscaping business. Low financial barrier to entry, so it won't raise any red flags for the entry level criminal. Don't need a store front, or a lease, or even a product to account for. Just file an LLC, buy a mower and a weed whacker, and put up a social media site. All of that can be done for less than $300 to start, but it scales really well. You can do $200k in "business" and no one will think "where did he get the money for this?" Just make sure to take on a set percentage of real clients as you increase your personal cash flow. Use the money earned from that to get invest in legit businesses - whose profits you invest further (and so on).

[@calcustom5026]

@@Fanta.... buying houses requires legitimate capital. Renovating those houses means you have to account for the cost of those upgrades. If a dump is suddenly renting for top market rate, that is going to set off a lot of alarm bells. Starting a cash based service business doesn't have any of those issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a friend of mine used to ship from the west to the east coast using USPS. The reason for this is because USPS is federally owned and they need a warrant to touch your shipment. FedEx/UPS are privately owned companies and they can open any package they want to without any reason. Only had one package ever get caught, but the person on the other end had a "USPS" employee knock on their door and they refused to sign whatever piece of paper they tried to get him to sign. The packages were never sent needing a signature. That way the person on the other end knew that if someone came up asking for a signature, they would simply refuse to sign it and say it wasn't their package.
