it seems there is alot of ways to launder the cash.... but it all hinges if the feds have marked the bills or not..

i would think if the serial numbers are recorded and flagged by the government agency once they turn up they will hunt you down.

I'd launder it slowly but surely at casinos.


it would be hard to bypass the cameras. Best option would be at a high stakes poker table which allows cash to play at the table. You can slip bills from your pocket behind/under your chip stack before a new hand is dealt. new poker room at ceaser's would prob be best choice

this will allow you to get the cash in play without the cameras inspecting the bills. The cameras can read the serial #'s on the bills quite easily when the dealer spreads them at say a blackjack table

anyway get the money into play in a big pot, and if you do it right you'll have plasuible deniablity as to where the cash came from, you could have won it from another player.
also a chip runner can take the cash to the cage for you to turn it into chips

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.

This would be traced to you in about 5 minutes. Also getting your mom involved just isn't cool.

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.

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
You should see downtown George Town, Grand Cayman. There's like half a dozen hugh 20 story banks, Bank of Switzerland, Bank of Luxembourg, etc.

I'd rethink that if I were you.
 
If you want to have the million dollars immediately to turn around and reinvest for your future, none of these ideas will work.

You need outside help. Someone who has many millions of dollars to say they hired you to do a job that paid a million dollars, or someone who buys something from you for a million dollars.

You could buy something from Person A for $50, sell it to person B for $500, and then rinse and repeat, building up as you go. You just have to kick out to both people for their part in the scheme. Next time you buy something for $500, and resell it for $5,000, and so on. In a couple months you could be buying something for $500,000 and re-selling it for the whole million.
