Slowly convert it to BTC.

ETA

However, BTC has a history log per coin. You would be better served to convert to Monero.

We already covered that, you take a bill to bank and say you found it and want to deposit if it's real.

And the government isn't running a fricking scam trying to catch people keeping money left in the road. Pretty much everything you said is fricking dumb.

The money was either drug money or cleaned drug money.

But still have to understand how to use tails to move it around, how to tumble, how to transfer and use after that.

The whole point, or one of them, of BTC is the anonymity, so once you have it in there, why would you need to move it around?

What is the point of this? You think giving the bills to a casino where there are more cameras per sqft than any other buildings in the world, is less likely to be found than if you brought them to Rouses and other day to day places?


Yes. If you go spreading marked bills around town, you are going to be showing up on security cameras left and right, they'll eventually get your license plate then that's your arse.

If you go to a casino, you show up on camera once, mixed in with thousands of other people.

With that said, you raise a good point about the money getting displayed to cameras. I suppose I didn't think about that. Apparently they do track every single serial number that crosses their tables.

So I was correct about the theory, but wrong in my assumption about the level of tracking. Oops.

Guess I'll be starting a very profitable lawn business instead

I could spend $5,000 easily per month in cash and save our paychecks and I'd live it up and have an awesome life with a nanny taking care of our kids while we go out to eat all the nice restaurants.

$3,000 - Full time nanny
$1,000 - Frivolous shopping from wife and I
$500 - Grocery
$500 - Restaurants and bars
$300 - Cars detailed once a month ( I would have the cleanest cars on the block!)
$300 - Maid

That's $5,600 a month right there and I would stack bills in my bank account from my paycheck.

That's $67,200 a year. Would take just shy of 15 years to go through it while our bank accounts build and retirement accounts are maxed out. That would be THE LIFE.

Bro do me a favor and don't commit a crime thinking you are safe using Bitcoin. It is not anonymous. The block chain tracks every transaction and it is public.

You have to transfer it around to tumble it. And you have can't go direct from illegal to legal account. Hell even places like coinbase track 4 transfer out after the original to make sure it's not transferred to an account that is known for illegal activity.

Exactly, you only pay your mortgage out of your regular account and cars. All day to day loving is cash. You can deposit small amounts to pay things like cell phone bill etc. Normal bills like water, gas, electrical etc get paid in person using cash.

To those worried about the government knowing those bills are from illegal activity, wtf. Seriously. But if you really are that worried, take 10k a months and do cash for Bitcoin. Take one day, go-to Houston, use the app and get the coins. You take laptop to cafe, pop in thumb drive with tails preloaded and you transfer all the coins 4 times, then tumble. Transfer to one account. From there transfer to the legit coinbase account you have setup at the rate of 1500 per week or so and transfer it into your bank account from there.

Or set up an LLC for online training etc. Only accept Bitcoin payments. Use tails and setup fictional email accounts. Have prepackaged diet and training packages ready to be sent from your legit account. Send the package to your fictional email and pay yourself from random Bitcoin account into your coinbase account.

Not that fricking hard.

I didn't say to do that. I said you could, but not needed and cash for bitcoins is much much more anonymous.

You must really have a nanny fetish or hate your kids. I’d be in Wyoming on a leased farm.

That all sounds very fricking hard to me since I don't even know half of what you're talking about.

Dude, a full time nanny would be the shite.

We have a couple trust fund friends that have this and their lives are noticeably easier for obvious reasons.

You fly to Grand Cayman,the offshore banking capital of the world, bring $9000 of the cash with you open a account at one of the hundred or so banks. Start taking monthly trips with more cash to deposit, rinse and repeat. Once the account is set up you can do wire transfers to your stateside bank to cover expenditures. You will be in good company because half the people on the direct flight to GC from Houston are doing the same thing. The Cayman banks have been forced to tighten up on the transactions they are required to report, but staying under the radar is still easier than the US, the Cayman banking business was built on protecting depositors form interested government agencies.

Casino is definitely a bad play to run. But it would be easy to filter that cash back into the economy undetected in exchange for clean bills over a period of several years. Don’t forget, your $20s and hundreds often get changed out to new people. Following the flow of small denominations is an exercise in futility.

Keep transactions small, spread them out geographically, and avoid patterns in your activity. Greed and laziness would doom the common man here.

I would also have some crazy awesome renovations done to our house and pay the contractors in cash.

HEEELLOOOOOO backyard putting green, theater room, and man cave. Also my outdoor kitchen area would be world class.

Oh and I forgot the landscaping guys. Would pay them in cash obviously too.

Is this really so ridiculous? Maybe I watch too much TV, but I was under the impression that tracking serial numbers was very much a real thing.

If you found $1MM in cash, I think it would be prudent to take some steps to avoid ending up in hand cuffs because you spent money that was used to purchase 5 tons of heroin.

You give some slackjaw contractor a large chunk of known dirty cash and it’s going to get flagged when they enter it into the financial system.

Why would it be known to be dirty cash?

In my mind, I'm assuming it is drug related. I would check the make sure there was no tracking device and that they weren't fake bills.

Then I'd sit on it for a few years. Then I'd start spending it.

If they are stolen bills that a bank has the serial number for, there is no way you're cleaning it outside of some shady dealings with some shady people. Casinos would absolutely be able to narrow it down and give a list of names to authorities and you'd be forever flagged on that list.
