Laundering money is illegal.

There are bitcoin ATMs around town. I wonder if you could do it that way? I mean, if you stumbled across a bloody suitcase full of cash…

I heard that most of the sponsors on TD were Russian-owned?

Gambling out of the country is probably a good bet. US casinos are more tightly monitored than practically any other financial business.

Take 50k out of the country in cash. Declare 12k.

Spend a day or two getting seen at every casino in a city like Dubai. Enjoy your vacation, return back with 30k after enjoying your vacation and bingo - money launderer, vacation paid for. That’s a pretty good life.

The disappointing thing is the people who are the best at successfully doing illegal things over a long period of time (moving drugs into the country, laundering money, changing identity, etc.) you never hear about their schemes because they don’t get caught.

Buy some sort of cash business, don't cook the books too bad. Make a modest income from it.

Buy some sort of crypto with your excess money.
Fly to the Cayman Islands or Belize.
Open a bank account there.
Convert your crypto back to hard currency and deposit it there.

Rinse and repeat as necessary then eventually retire. Move to another country (ideally, wherever your money is) and become a citizen there (dropping your American citizenship). After a year, create a corporation, move all of your money into it, set yourself as CEO and pay yourself a decent salary.

If you want to come back as a US citizen then re-apply for citizenship. You're essentially resetting how the IRS looks at you.

I always thought storage facilities were viable. There is a level of privacy/use in the individual units that shields the owner of the property.

And before anyone asks, you use a loan to open/build the facility.

Hunter Biden's art business seems like another great avenue. Create art from nothing and cash sale.

Im just a w2 grunt. I may be blind to the issues with the above. But as far as i know, you dont need drivers licenses of your customers to run these businesses.

I've seen people try this and fail miserably. People inevitably tend to overspend and draw attention to themselves.

Oh and the car wash bullshite from breaking bad - the IRS will come in and check their water usage. I've seen everything from strip clubs, car washes, laundromats, arcades - and even Bernie Madoff was eventually caught so whoever posted that you can get with this shite - you can for a while, but when it eventually comes crashing down - the longer it goes on - the harder it falls. There is no good way to perpetually "launder" money unless you want to not use it and just bury it in the desert.

Nope. That’s how the Arizona State point shavers got caught. Of course, they were placing large cash bets at the sports book so maybe the chips thing would work, but I doubt it. Casinos are better than the FBI at rooting out illegal shite.

The Murdaugh family in the low country of South Carolina may be able to help you out.

Exactly what’s shown on Breaking Bad.

Obviously the car wash for Walter, but the chicken franchise could have been used in the same way.

Cash shows up when they x-Ray your bags at the airport. I had $2,000 cash in an envelope in my carry on when I flew to Vegas and I got harassed by TSA. They were nice about it and not suspicious, but I’d imagine a larger amount would trigger deeper questioning.

I think Los Pollos Hermanos was a much better idea, actually. Plus Gus actually was involved in the community and gave something back. Hide in plain sight. Gus still eventually ended up with his face blown off.

Now I want some chicken for some reason.

Yeah. It’s harder to move cash than drugs. People notice large sums of money.

And how exactly would you get it on the exchange without it being traced through a banking system?
