Nah, nobody has billions of dollars to launder. The real way to launder small time money is a barber shop or salon.

[@BarnRichard]

From experience, the easiest way to launder money is through buying stocks or crypto using an FA. They don't really ask questions as they're more interested in your money and when the payouts starts coming, its clean money. Funny thing is that you even get to still make a lot of profit on that money if you use a good one.

[@BarnRichard]

I don't judge man lol. You should start by looking out for those with strong records. Also make sure the person is registered. Personally, I use Marie, Kelly Matwick. She's not so popular but you might have heard of her. And from my experience, they're usually way cheaper than you would expect

I mean just working at a Mafioso bar isn't a terrible excuse for small time money laundering. "The guys were just feeling extra generous that night" isn't an unbelievable excuse if some small time enforcers just got a windfall, especially if they pay in cash.

As well as making notes on this video, another way to learn money laundering is to become a chartered accountant. Part of the training is how to spot both fraud and money laundering, but to learn to spot it, you have to learn how to do it. If you specialise in forensic accountancy, then you are all the more expert. Kinda like Dexter, but with spreadsheets instead of blades.

[@blackcow1185]

[@annieinwonderland694]

It may also get you on a list eg the panama papers, the sun shine papers as well. Have to be strong to do it.

[@HH-ru4bj]

The trick as said is to distance yourself as much as possible, but there's always a trail. The real trick is to become part of the in crowd of untouchables, like politicians, darling entrepreneurs, and security. No one denied our governments are run by racketeers, but getting an undeniable trail to force an investigation is damn near impossible.

[@Treelia]

Yes. This video is totally what’s in the training now. I think the more groundbreaking video is still the one by Financial Times on how Chinese brokers launder money. Highly recommended watch.

[@davescott7680]

​@@annieinwonderland694might get you on the panama papers list. But how many of those names actually got charged with anything? Its a short coming of the law, white collar crime is barely prosecuted. How many of these people at these banks that knowingly enter into illegal activity actually ever see real consequences?

[@BobB-w4q]

In the US, a series of deposits of $3,000 equaling just under $10,000 per month is a typical threshold for filing a suspicious activity report (SAR) in the place of the requirement for filing a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) required for a $10,000 deposit. Automated systems in use by most banks and credit unions often use this threshold for generating reports. The typical means of laundering is a front business, as noted within this video. Long ago when the Medellin cartel was in operation, we were investigating a chain of clothing stores owned by a Colombian. However, there are new developments in this area, also as documented here. I'm a retired US Government bank examiner and financial analyst. ...and no, Craig didn't stop after the $50. He bought a passport for a sanctuary country and is spending his time traveling from his Caribbean oceanfront home to Monaco on his yacht.

[@jfbeam]

While an individual would trip numerous flags, businesses rarely would. My little real estate empire had deposits that would trip those thresholds every month. As would almost every one of the bank's other customers. (being a business focused bank.) We did tend to deposit all of the rent checks at the same time, and the bank knows what they are.

[@Bob-vw7bs]

@@jfbeam The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) includes a provision allowing banks to maintain a waiver list for businesses making material bank deposits. They are not required to file Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) for businesses on this list. Compliance examiners always ask for this list during a review of BSA compliance. It might interest you to know the clothing store chain I mention above was on such a list. However, this was known (of course) by law enforcement agencies so we asked for detailed records concerning cash deposits covering several years during our investigation...

[@jfbeam]

@@Bob-vw7bs Cash deposits would always be a concern because you have no idea of the origin. (that's the point in money laundering) Our rents were a stable, fixed amount, and mostly never paid in cash, 'tho there was one tenant that would hand us a wad of cash from time to time. From a CFA perspective, any store with a nearly fixed monthly income would be a red flag.

Good luck getting past _that_ since you have to do it _in person_ as the Cook Islands doesn't accept foreign judgements or remote actions.

A bowling alley worked nice as a front back during the days of the "numbers" racket. (Illegal lotteries) Mostly a change based event (nickel, dime, quarter), 'numbers' profits could be washed through the bowling alley's cash register. Unlike a bar, there is not even an inventory to explain. Just how often a lane, ball, or rental shoes are used is anyone's guess. In the 1950s and 1960s, bowling used to cost .25 to .50 cents a game, making it a change based business as well, and if you asked for a receipt, they usually told you your score sheet was your receipt. A piece of paper you kept score on and took home. No computers for scoring, no record how often the lanes were used. The cash registers were already full of nickles, dimes, and quarters anyway. Deposits at the bank were as the bank expected from a bowling alley, bags of change. They were a perfect front for the 'numbers' racket. Then, the States finally got smart and put the gangsters out of business with the lotto in the 1970s.

In my hometown in the north of England in recent years there has been a massive increase in the number of businesses, mainly barbers and vape shops, open that never have any customers and dont seem in any danger of going out of business.

[@HXRDWIREDGaming]

Barbers could easily sell product at street level, take in clients and never be bothered. Vape shops typically ship product online but, AFAIK there's no widespread access to vape shop weed. However, they do sell a lot of grey market research chemicals packaged as supplements they sell in bulk to those who know how to ask. These usually get cut down and split into press tabs or capsules and since they are so much stronger with unknown side effects, its usually burst sales of like 10k, then the people go to a different town. Super common on the west coast and one of the reasons why there's pictures/colors to look for and stay away from.

What "Craig" did is pretty much what my identical twin cousins did. They started selling weed in the mid 80s while in high school. By the time they finished college they were buying and selling 100s of pounds of weed. For 15 years they didn't touch the profit. They laundered some money through some unwitting family members and bought a bar. Now, all the people they sold weed to were buying beers at their bar. After a couple more years they bought another bar. Then in 2001 they were introduced to opiods. They went from pills to heroin in a matter of months. By the end of 2002 they had lost both bars, and had both lost their houses and cars. In 09 one of them was serving 6 months in jail and had a heart attack. An artificial valve was placed, but it failed and he died in 2011. I wish I could say that the surviving twin saw this as a wake up call, but he didn't.

The street I live on (ASW Utrecht) goes directly past the city center and the busiest train station in the Netherlands so, rent prices are stupid, tiny 5x8m 15x24ft business space costs €4,000 (prob about$100,000:) a month. The ground floor of almost all the buildings is a business and it goes for miles. Almost all of them are businesses that have very little procurement. Hairdressers, laundromats, bicycle repair, massage parlours, phone repair, Chinese medicine and many change every few months. We lived opposite the Chinese medicine place and used a laundromat with 26 machines for 9 years but it was extremely rare to ever see anyone else using the laundromat and the CM had large windows showing a guy behind a reception desk (usually watching a tablet). When I moved in a housemate said no one ever goes in so it became our game. There were only ever 2 seconds sightings of someone using the door. 1 DHL guy and the desk guy leaving, never saw him arrive, no one ever saw a customer....€4,000 a month just in rent.

For the US, if you deposit $10,000 or more, a CTR (currency transaction report) is required. It includes your social, id info, occupation, etc. and is sent to the gov. A lot of financial institutions have a lower $ amount for CTRs. So there’s a possibility you could get away with depositing $9,999.99 without a CTR, but then a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) will probably be made.

His story for the bank tellers was that he was a co-owner of a video arcade and this pile of coins was the takings from that business.
