So, you've got $25M in illegal gains to hide and could be arrested at any time...

This whole kid getting arrested for killing someone got me thinking...

A little different hypothetical: So, you're doing some illegal shite and make a ton of money. You've got $25M in cash that you need to park somewhere. It has to stay liquid so the feds can't find it and seize it. Where do you put it? Where do you flee to?

Me? I'm thinking while I'm doing said shady shite, I start chartering jets to Geneva/Zurich every once in a while. Pay the pilot to keep his mouth shut. I start parking my cash in a large automatic Switzerland safety deposit box. Perhaps multiple safety deposits boxes. I pay cash for a place to live outside of Geneva or Zurich. When the heat comes, I'm jetting to Switzerland. Would this work?

You?

I'd buy a carwash and launder the $ through there.

I'll ask my Switzerland bankers and will get back to you.

You still have to go through customs and they'll see the trips...they'll catch on pretty quickly unless you have a left reason to go there

Better to risk it a bit and take half to the Bahamas to deposit. I think they'd let you. I may be wrong

But where are you going to hide when the heat comes? I'm not worried about laundering the money I don't think, I'm just worried about it getting seized. The feds would catch on to the laundering I would think.

Swiss accounts aren't immune anymore. Thanks, Obama.

That's a good point. I'd probably divide it in half.

Customs would catch you


Bury it in the desert in metal drums, no one will find it, unless you panic and accidentally lead them to it

I think safety deposit boxes are pretty immune. There are still Swiss banks that offer absolute immune safety deposit boxes, I think. Banks accounts may be different, if there is one.

You still have to produce your passport genius.

No, there may be 5 people on this board that could wash money.

The Swiss will sell you out as soon as the Feds apply pressure

I buy a resort in the Ozarks and keep the money stored in the walls in one of the cabins while I use the resort and other assorted businesses around town to launder the money.

I'd start a PETA campaign against the mistreatment of crawfish and lobsters.

How do you buy crypto currency with cash? Pretty sure you have to convert the cash into a bank or other electronic medium first. Which is still an issue.

Do I have the 25M all at once? If so, I'd go to Switzerland with all the money now.

Or do I need to find a way to hide it while I'm making it? If that's the case, I'd probably go high profile and start donating to political campaigns.
