Yeah, I think. Not sure of the trackability from purchase to use. Maybe in certain increments.

Start your own church. Claim the money as donations.

If you know what to look for, it's really, really hard to launder money. Staying off the radar with a ton of cash heavy businesses is the only real way to do it.

When I was an auditor, it would usually be hilariously obvious. I'd make sure I worked a Friday afternoon / evening on all my resturaunt audits, and they'd claim 300k in sales per month but be empty.

Cool, but where did the money come to buy it? Cleaning money isn't difficult, it's having valid explanations of where it originated that's tough.

If you prices are consistently 30% higher across the board, but your company still stays in business without some sort of hook (cool presentation, great location, ect ect.) it's painfully obvious something is going on. Then we start investigating the purchase side of the equation (i.e. how much stuff you're getting from vendors) and it won't match up.

hire a crooked lawyer for a $50k retainer, lawyer quits and writes you back a check for $35k. Lawyer bills you for 100 hours. You get a cashier's check - he's got $15k for his troubles. Go deposit the money in the bank. Tell them it was a settlement.

ETA - this lawyer will end up dead, in prison, and disbarred. Not necessarily in that order.

A friend from Philadelphia talked about her favorite restaurant there, just down the street from her store. Prices were 1/3 what you'd expect and the food was excellent. She did notice that she was always seated in a particular room and that her menu was different than the one the tourists got in the other room.

This is one way to do it, and they don't even have to be crooked. Technically, if you do it right, it falls under attorney client privilege. How they will usually do it though is they do that, and then instead of just getting the 35k back, they'll say a "award was reached" and claim ~200k.

Sue your friend/fellow drug runner - have them settle - pay the lawyer - he puts it through his IOLTA account and pays out $ - it's so easy it should be criminal - and it is

and the best thing is if it's for compensatory damages it's tax free! So get that guy to run over your foot

this is not legal advice and you should not follow this post to do criminal activity - this is strictly a hypothetical

This guy fricks.

ETA: but the money from the defendant to fuel the settlement, that could arouse suspicion no?

Move out of the states for a few years. Then move back with all your money. When the IRS asks about it tell them it's none of their God damned business.

That's the reason I said dead, disbarred or in prison, although dismembered should probably be added to the list of potential consequences. I'd guess an unscrupulous, established attorney could get away with this for a decade or so before getting caught or murdered.

Biden is fixing that. Pretty soon we will be using hundred dollar bills as dollar bills and dollar bills as pennies. I wonder if they are going to start printing 500 and 1,000 dollar bills again if inflation gets that bad.

If I knew work would keep up with that inflation, that would make my mortgage feel like I am paying 90 dollars a month since it was locked in at 900 dollars in 2003.
