not so legally, would you know where or how to launder it...or would you be looking up the word in the dictionary ala Office Space?

I was watchign theif and thought about that, i would honestly have no clue where to start....i could probably ask a few shifty freinds but i dunno if id want to disclose the fact i had come into a huge pile of money which i couldnt report to the police if they stole it


so ATOT how would you go about laundering it and covering up your tracks?
 
Did I just find it, or did I actually do something to acquire it?

I would probably continue my current lifestyle, open up something along the lines of a hotdog stand or something where I could claim cash income.
 
What's wrong with keeping it under the mattress and paying for smaller expenses with it? The grocery store, gas station, etc.

Or donate it anonymously to an NPO and problem solved 🙂

lets say a cool million and for arguemts sake you took it from the back of an armored care you came by that was abandoned..possibley the product of a robbery that happened a few minutes ago and they left that million behind

Making a delivery, or picking up?

Aren't the S/Ns tracked in the AC delivery trucks?

If they're not, I'd hide it in a few Safe Deposit boxes at various banks.

In 100s, $1mill is not that hard to move around.
 
Drugs for serial marked bills.
I would not do it personally, so no one knew it was me if the money did come up.

i always thought maybe somehow getting it out the country and walk with it into a swiss bank...arent they the ones that supposedly ask no questions?

or maybe the cayman islands?

but i think getting out the country might pose a prob, unless maybe i drove it over the border to mexico

 
Hide it in the house first. Then slowly transfer/deposit it into my checking/savings like 1x or 2x a week in small manageable (non attention tracking) chunks. Like $500-1000.

But I wouldn't just do that, I'd also spend some of the money on normal everday stuff so that my total assets don't just suddenly jump to hundreds of thousands of dollars in 1 year. I'd also put some into some investments and definitely would give some away anonymously of course.

edit: Oh yeah, and vegas...definitely vegas.

Way too much paper trail.

Remember when you launder money, you want the money going into the system to not be traceable to you in anyway. The legit money coming out can be.
I think most of you fail to grasp this concept.

There is this thing called a reconstruction. The gov't knows what you can afford and what you have ... and boy .... you better be able to explain how you have all your stuff and eat.

I'd launder it slowly but surely at casinos.

Not a bad idea.

When you get chips, you don't need to record what you got ... but when you cash out, you can claim it as prize money and have it taxed ... and it's yours!

nah..it's not that....laundering money would give me an excuse to travel europe😀
 
i kinda like the casino idea. just gamble for a while, and if you lose some money, no big deal. then cash out your chips or quarters or whatever you're playing with.
 
you don't want to open a buisness where you change lots of cash and report it as income if it is stolen from a bank and they can track the sns. Go to vegas, paing for everything in cash, and trade in a few thousand in cash, gamble, cash out. repeat this many times, but cash in with the dirty money each time, and keep it separate. I doubt you would arouse suspicion going to a casino, getting 2 grand in chips, gambling a half hour, cashing out, and repeating a 2 times a day at 10 or more casinos in vegas. do this for a week and you've laundered 140 k

Sorry but that's an dumb idea. You know how many cameras are in a casino? So if the money is traceable...how long do you think it'd take them to get a video ID on you and send your picture out to all of the PD's?
 
I would really think it would depend upon the situation.

Did one just find the money in a ditch somewhere or did one just get out of the game after having sold a thousand pounds of grass over a year or two?
How much heat you have from the federales would be a major factor I think.

I don't think they don't keep track of what physical money came from who.

Plus, casinos arn't the most ethical of places to begin with. Assuming they did know you were passing them dirty money and assuming you weren't winning too much they probably wouldn't do anything.
A few thousand bucks from pimping has just as many digits in the bank as a few thousand bucks that was bound for juniors college fund.
 
I'd just spend it on nice dinners, gas purchases, etc. Pay cash for some electronics at Best Buy, etc. Give my mom cash to deposit in her account, then have her write me a check for a couple of grand and mark LOAN in the memo field.

Atlantic City is close to me, so that also would be an option.
