That's crazy because the goal of work is working for yourself. This isn't just drugs they put a title on it. Everyone does it. From a judge to an inmate.
I lived in Vegas for a few years and there are pawn shops that are just full of junk. They would be annoyed that they’d have a customer. I always knew it was because it wasn’t there to make money but to launder it.
That doesn't make any sense because you've still got to sell stuff and show tax documents if you're earning an income. You can't report a million dollars a year in income if you've got no customers. I think pawn store workers are just generally grumpy people and that's what you probably picked up on.
@@AchillesWrath1 it wont be a million dollars, it'll clear 100k-300k a year at best they will have multiple legit businesses, not just one. Strip clubs, casinos are usually the best to launder money due to high cash use, other businesses include nail salons or barber shops, night clubs and even laundromats and car washes to controlling the city's ATM machines where all the drug money becomes legit passive income money . Proper accounting takes care of everything even tax audits. Which is why drug lord's accountants are their life blood more important than their cicarios. All thats needed to be done is to open up a consulting or digital marketing company and charging these businesses stupid amounts for online marketing(yes you'll have to actually run a legit marketing business and hire staff) and viola easy money transfer without it even needing to be a gift. Money will be double taxed but money will be extra clean.
As a wise old timer once said to me when I thought I was an invincible kid: you have to be permanently lucky, the law only has to get lucky once and you're finished. Far better to put your time, talent and hard work into something legitimate. Even if you fail, you've gained experience and some wisdom about what went wrong and how to improve. If you're getting up to shady dealings, the entire ship almost always goes down with you and then you're looking at not being able to do something positive with your time when you're locked up. I feel for kids these days, because the opportunities to make legitimate money are dwindling by the year and the lure of 'easy money' must be very hard to turn down when the alternatives aren't always obviously apparent. Still, it's better to make honest money as a plumber or an electrician than risk being locked up and then finding that it's even more difficult to make good honest cash on the outside when your name has a record attached to it. You aren't always going to sleep wondering if the law aren't coming through your door at 6am either. There's a lot to be said for being able to sleep without anxiety and a relatively clear conscience. So called 'easy money' is anything but once you factor in the psychological effects it has on a person.
I love how everyone thinks being a plumber, electrician, hvac professional is easy and anyone can do it. Most young guys are thick as a brick and have even less work ethic. Not everyone but man, if you work in one of those fields and se the new guys coming in. Yikes.

Using casino chips to clean drug money is extremely smart, safe to say a large percent of casinos revenue comes from cleaning drug money even to this day.
How does that make sense if they are cleaning their money in the casino they are just swapping money for chips then getting the money back in cash the casino makes zero from this unless they are spending money there
@@ryans4337 there not going to just go get 100k in chips and return 100k in chips they’re going to play with it maybe win a lil most likely lose some money but oh well it’s the price to launder
@@ryans4337 you forgot the key part, when having large sums of cash the bank want to know where it comes from. Drug money has no paper trail. Going to the casino with cash (you can take any amount and they won’t ask where it’s from), get chips. Play for 2-3 hours, the goal is to make some money but oh well if you lose say 10% of your chips (remember you’re not playing to gamble you’re here to clean money, think of it as your tax to launder, 10% isn’t bad). After this period you cash out at the casino, KEY part here is you ask for the receipt of the cash of from the casino. Go to the bank cash in, they ask where it’s from, you say casino with the receipt. Gambling is non taxable and for what anyone knows someone could flip $500 to $10k. Money = Laundered.

Before I went into the Army at 19 I worked for a small construction company in Chicago that I'm almost 100% sure the owner was using it to clean money. He would buy run down buildings, rehab them and sell or rent them out afterwards. He paid cash for almost everything like wages, materials, etc. The reason I say I'm so sure he was cleaning money is that twice that I know of I saw him spend at least 50k fixing up the property but saw documents where he claimed like 10k in expenses.

Actually, drug dealers are more likely to form record labels to launder money. So usually rappers are signed to drug dealers, the big time drug dealers. If rappers sell drugs more often then not there at the lowest level.

I'm convinced that 90% of smoke shops are laundering money. I see a handful of them in high lease area and there are never any customer/cars there at all. No way that they can pay the $5K/month lease with their volume of selling $30 - $100 paraphernalia crap.
If you really wanna go down a rabbit hole look into places that sell mattresses and bedding. Some are leasing 4 stores within 3 miles of one another. 🤐
I knew a guy in Reno in the 90's. He knew I did dirt and I knew he did dirt. We'd see one another in the sports books. Anyway, he told me he'd just opened a used record store. He would spend cheaply stocking the store with merchandise from thrift stores and yard sales and use the store to sell mostly from cash payments. So yeah, it can work.
@charleswhite758 that's why modern money laundering is done through fringe businesses, online casinos, cam girl websites, dropshipping websites set up in foreign tax havens
Let's be honest. Most individuals who break the law don't do so because they want to be bad. It's usually out of survival and slowly morphs into something bigger than they ever could have imagined. Then they get caught.
That's the way it happened for me but I never got caught...... It helps to have a good guardian angel on the payroll...... Really surprises me I made it out though bc 90 percent of peeps I came up with are in psych wards jails or under 6 feet of dirt
Seizing money is called Civil Asset and it can happen to anyone. And they don't even have to charge you with a crime. If you're driving down the road with $10k in cash and get pulled over, the cops can say that they think its the proceeds of crime and take it. You have to sue them to get it back, and you won't get all of it back if you win.
Thinking about it, a bar might be best. You could have a VIP room with bottle service. $250 is the low end of pricing (jhonnie walker black) and perhaps charge $250 for the VIP room. The most expensive place I know of in Vegas (Hakkasan) is about $5,000 for the biggest room, and a Dom package adds another $12,500. Low end you could probably just find a buddy that wants to play baller. Give him whatever you can trust him with with orders to go be a baller at your place. The fact that he only drinks top shelf and shares with the rest of the bar is gonna make him real popular. Win Win.
@@roman111117 The best thing I can come up with is gifting law in the U.S. $16,000 may be given in "gifts" to another to any one individual without paying tax or repprting to the IRS per year.

Cash gifting at that magnitude and rate would unlikely pass the IRS “sniff test”. If something seems a to not quite ‘fit’, like getting tens of thousands of dollars from dozens of people as “gifts”, they can, and will, seize the money until “source of funds” is proven beyond any doubt. And, just because it might be “illegal” to leverage these “gifters” against you - but all it takes is one of them to have done something questionable (outside the gifting) to turn them. The Cash businesses and international real-estate is, hands-down, the best way to do this. Allegedly. Oh, btw, the United States is the most prolific Tax Haven in the world!
@@HelptheBear_ImtheBear i still believe the number of ppl one would have to receive this gift from is way too large to be able to wash the hundred of thousands of dollars mentioned by mr. Michell in his video. I could be wrong, since I’ve never tried this personally. But, it just seems undoable at large scales.
@@tonymarselle8812 $16,000 is the exclusion limit these days. However, if you become ‘interesting’ to any law enforcement agency with teeth and/or the IRS be prepared to prove source of funds then have those who provided you this yearly gift become ‘interesting’ to those same entities. I’m not saying it can’t be done, I know it can, it just tends to implode when pressure is applied to lots of your “gifting” associates. How typical is it to get gifted over $50k/yr? None of the stand-alone flags of money laundering will take you down by themselves - the mosaic they all create when law enforcement put them together over time is what brings the enterprise down.
We have a dying mall in my town. 75% of the stores are closed in it yet there is still a mini golf and arcade business going everyday. I have never seen anyone walk in or out of the mini golf place and the arcade half the machines don't work. Now I know how they are keeping there doors open.

Start a landscaping business. Low financial barrier to entry, so it won't raise any red flags for the entry level criminal. Don't need a store front, or a lease, or even a product to account for. Just file an LLC, buy a mower and a weed whacker, and put up a social media site. All of that can be done for less than $300 to start, but it scales really well. You can do $200k in "business" and no one will think "where did he get the money for this?" Just make sure to take on a set percentage of real clients as you increase your personal cash flow. Use the money earned from that to get invest in legit businesses - whose profits you invest further (and so on).
Nah, much easier to buy houses in good areas that are complete dumps. throw a bunch of cash at them and completely upgrade the inside. Start renting it out and use the rent money as a funding source for the next property. rinse and repeat.
@@Fanta.... buying houses requires legitimate capital. Renovating those houses means you have to account for the cost of those upgrades. If a dump is suddenly renting for top market rate, that is going to set off a lot of alarm bells. Starting a cash based service business doesn't have any of those issues.
Since many people are relying upon this as a source of truth, it’s important to point out that you can’t be “forced to plead guilty” to criminal charges.
If theres substantial evidence against you and winning a trial seems impossible, taking a plea deal over a felony with jail time becomes so obvious it may as well be forced
The point of money laundering is, that even if someone looks into it HARD (and assume they will), they can not prove the illegal source of the money beyond a reasonable doubt. For that you need seed money, that is completely unimpeachable, so you have to work some job for a couple of years. Use your cash for all the things you normally pay cash (food,fuel) and save as much as you can ( or find a no-show job). Then look for some business, where most costs are labour costs, find a bunch of undocumented worker or better yet a sketchy subcontractor that takes Cash and writes phony bills ( some arrangement, where you pay part of the the price in cash and he only bills you the other half ),make the necessary investments with your legit stash ( buying land, machines etc ) and then funnel your cash gradually into the part of the wages you pay in cash. Works well for agriculture (brownie points if you sell the produce yourself on a cash-only farmers market), a timber operation ( buying land, planting it with trees and then selling the mature forest for example, in Europe you Even get huge EU subsidies for doing that ) or small scale real estate development/house flipping. Paying your contractors partly in cash doesnt really stand out to them that much ( pretty common ) and if you pay your bills no one really has an incentive to rat you out , because they‘d land in hot water too ( especcially if you go with a subcontractor that does this sort of thing regularely, he‘ll probably keep his mouth shut about you ) So, to sum it up,at a small scale, dirty money only helps to get a business off the ground, you still have to put in the work. If you are lucky, you will be the owner of a sucessful business in the end. The only problem is that most criminals suck at legit business, so often the business will wither as soon as the dirty cash infusions end. It just takes very long, is incredibly arduous, there is still a decent chance that you will get clinked up and you have to work a low skill job for years to get the seed money together. Just get an education or learn a trade, you‘ll be better off!
❤️❤️❤️ Love this post. It’s true most criminals are non business people who have easy access to a illegal product with few middle men. The brand and info on drugs sell themselves. But if you could fucking make millions on selling shoes and socks or a restaurant thats where the separation starts. Who is actually a good business person and who just has access to a product.
@@davidgravey1998 Thanks for the kind words :) Most drug dealers/criminals also lack the patience for sucessful money laundering. They are in it for the instant gratification, don't want to accept the reality that they will probably be old by the time they are able to enjoy the fruits of their labour and go into it half cocked, because they want to spend it all NOW. So they start some bubbletea shop ( or use any technique from the video above lol) that *somehow* generates 1m€ in profits a year and get caught immediately. Small-scale money laundering done right is too much like a real job for most criminals and the pace at which you can funnel the dirty money into your business ( without getting audited one month in ) is too slow to allow for the instant gratification and flashy lifestyle most criminals desire. You aint buying cars. You aint buying mansions or yachts. You are agonizing about how the fundamentals of your business look compared to similar legit ventures. You are going to have to oversee the day-to-day. You have to keep in line with accounting standards and do it all by yourself, because any accountant worth his salt will immediately know ( either he is legit and reports you, or he is sketchy and tries to use the fact that you are laundering money to his advantage somehow. But rest assured, he'll find out at some point) . You have to dress modestly and drive a crappy car, because else people will question how a small time farmer with a produce stand ( for example ) can afford all those designer clothes. You have to be a respectable person ( no drugs, prostitutes or other stupid shit) and know how to conduct yourself when you are e.g applying for a loan. You have to look at your pile of dirty cash day in and day out and resist the incredible urge to spend it on nice things. You still have to fret about profitability ( factoring in the cash payments to your contractors that is), because else you basically wont have anything left over from your pile after taxes. You can't associate with anyone from your criminal past. You can't commit any more crimes (apart from money laundering) , no matter how good the opportunity may look. You have to keep two sets of books, one official and the real one in your head, because you can not write ANYTHING down and you'd better keep it straight, because you are potentially always ONE fuckup away from the authorities putting you under a microscope ( especially if you have been investigated for or got convicted of a crime like drug-dealing ). I literally can not understand why people bother with crime ( except if you are desperate and it's either that or starving). Either you dont make enough to launder it ( then you'd be better off learning a trade) or you make enough and go through a high-risk life of crime... ... only to work a low-skill job for 5-10 years to scrape together a down-payment for a business venture and then not having a good nights sleep for the rest of your career, because you have to play much of it by ear ( you simultaneously have to learn on the job and not make mistakes, there are no money laundering seminars) and only find out that you fucked up when it's far too late ( = when you get notified of an impending audit or get arrested for several counts of felony money laundering and/or tax evasion). If your able to do it right, acquire marketable skills and start a legit venture ( if you can run a business with that layer of complexity added, you'd probably succeed even without dirty cash) . If not, just arrest yourself, it'll be way faster ^^
@Charles White Thats actually the fate of most laundering fronts ^^ Where I live, there was a guy that even made a business of it: He opened Restaurants, laundered a boatload of money through it and then sold off the ostensibly very sucessful restaurant business to some poor dudes, that inevitably went bust with it. He must have done that at least a dozen times in my city, until he got arrested for something unrelated (Cocaine) and it all came out.
@Charles White I didnt say it was an especially good idea ^^ But you are right, even though the lawsuit IMO would most likely get bounced, because you can pretty easily mount a defense in a case like that ( "New staff isnt up to the standards" or something like that, thats kind of hard to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt) and retroactively proving money laundering at a restaurant is pretty hard ( you can't exactly observe past foot traffic and the dumpster out back with the surplus food will probably be emptied by then ^^). But unfortunately in my country, money laundering cases and SARs are piling up by the tens of thousands and terrorism financing is prioritized ( and there is PLENTY of work to be done in that department) , so I doubt they would have the resources to look hard enough ( or to surveil him) to be honest. They basically have to hope that the common money launderer around here is dumb enough to get arrested driving under the influence whilst having a bunch of blow and a briefcase full of unexplained money in the car ( stupidity never ceases to amaze).
But why put it in a garbage bag and then tie up the bag. Of course she would throw it out. If you are gonna leave something in someone else’s house put it somewhere they won’t see it. Under a floor board. In the ceiling tile.

Proper accounting takes care of everything even tax audits. Which is why drug lord's accountants are their life blood more important than their cicarios. All thats needed to be done is to open up a consulting or digital marketing company and charging these businesses stupid amounts for online marketing(yes you'll have to actually run a legit marketing business and hire staff) and viola easy money transfer without it even needing to be a gift. Money will be double taxed but money will be extra clean.

As a wise old timer once said to me when I thought I was an invincible kid: you have to be permanently lucky, the law only has to get lucky once and you're finished. Far better to put your time, talent and hard work into something legitimate. Even if you fail, you've gained experience and some wisdom about what went wrong and how to improve. If you're getting up to shady dealings, the entire ship almost always goes down with you and then you're looking at not being able to do something positive with your time when you're locked up.
I feel for kids these days, because the opportunities to make legitimate money are dwindling by the year and the lure of 'easy money' must be very hard to turn down when the alternatives aren't always obviously apparent. Still, it's better to make honest money as a plumber or an electrician than risk being locked up and then finding that it's even more difficult to make good honest cash on the outside when your name has a record attached to it. You aren't always going to sleep wondering if the law aren't coming through your door at 6am either. There's a lot to be said for being able to sleep without anxiety and a relatively clear conscience. So called 'easy money' is anything but once you factor in the psychological effects it has on a person.
You have to be lucky everytime, the law has to be lucky once. That’s a phrase I was told often.
So very true .
I love how everyone thinks being a plumber, electrician, hvac professional is easy and anyone can do it. Most young guys are thick as a brick and have even less work ethic. Not everyone but man, if you work in one of those fields and se the new guys coming in. Yikes.
Well the smart thing to do is raise the capital needed to start a legit business with whatever you can get 🤷🏻♂️

Using casino chips to clean drug money is extremely smart, safe to say a large percent of casinos revenue comes from cleaning drug money even to this day.
Also owning and running several trucking companies work too - add leasing options and other dealings - all helps move things around.
@@XZH-le4cZxx bro how do you know?
How does that make sense if they are cleaning their money in the casino they are just swapping money for chips then getting the money back in cash the casino makes zero from this unless they are spending money there
@@ryans4337 there not going to just go get 100k in chips and return 100k in chips they’re going to play with it maybe win a lil most likely lose some money but oh well it’s the price to launder
@@ryans4337 you forgot the key part, when having large sums of cash the bank want to know where it comes from. Drug money has no paper trail. Going to the casino with cash (you can take any amount and they won’t ask where it’s from), get chips. Play for 2-3 hours, the goal is to make some money but oh well if you lose say 10% of your chips (remember you’re not playing to gamble you’re here to clean money, think of it as your tax to launder, 10% isn’t bad). After this period you cash out at the casino, KEY part here is you ask for the receipt of the cash of from the casino. Go to the bank cash in, they ask where it’s from, you say casino with the receipt. Gambling is non taxable and for what anyone knows someone could flip $500 to $10k. Money = Laundered.

Seizing money is called Civil Asset and it can happen to anyone. And they don't even have to charge you with a crime. If you're driving down the road with $10k in cash and get pulled over, the cops can say that they think its the proceeds of crime and take it. You have to sue them to get it back, and you won't get all of it back if you win.

Thinking about it, a bar might be best. You could have a VIP room with bottle service. $250 is the low end of pricing (jhonnie walker black) and perhaps charge $250 for the VIP room. The most expensive place I know of in Vegas (Hakkasan) is about $5,000 for the biggest room, and a Dom package adds another $12,500. Low end you could probably just find a buddy that wants to play baller. Give him whatever you can trust him with with orders to go be a baller at your place. The fact that he only drinks top shelf and shares with the rest of the bar is gonna make him real popular. Win Win.

Cash gifting at that magnitude and rate would unlikely pass the IRS “sniff test”. If something seems a to not quite ‘fit’, like getting tens of thousands of dollars from dozens of people as “gifts”, they can, and will, seize the money until “source of funds” is proven beyond any doubt. And, just because it might be “illegal” to leverage these “gifters” against you - but all it takes is one of them to have done something questionable (outside the gifting) to turn them. The Cash businesses and international real-estate is, hands-down, the best way to do this. Allegedly. Oh, btw, the United States is the most prolific Tax Haven in the world!
Right unless u get acquainted with rich ppl. Rappers if you notice always give big gifts it’s not really for the other person per say.
@@HelptheBear_ImtheBear i still believe the number of ppl one would have to receive this gift from is way too large to be able to wash the hundred of thousands of dollars mentioned by mr. Michell in his video. I could be wrong, since I’ve never tried this personally. But, it just seems undoable at large scales.
We use to get money back and forth that way. Back then it was less then 10,000 transferred.
@@tonymarselle8812 $16,000 is the exclusion limit these days. However, if you become ‘interesting’ to any law enforcement agency with teeth and/or the IRS be prepared to prove source of funds then have those who provided you this yearly gift become ‘interesting’ to those same entities. I’m not saying it can’t be done, I know it can, it just tends to implode when pressure is applied to lots of your “gifting” associates. How typical is it to get gifted over $50k/yr? None of the stand-alone flags of money laundering will take you down by themselves - the mosaic they all create when law enforcement put them together over time is what brings the enterprise down.

Start a landscaping business. Low financial barrier to entry, so it won't raise any red flags for the entry level criminal. Don't need a store front, or a lease, or even a product to account for. Just file an LLC, buy a mower and a weed whacker, and put up a social media site. All of that can be done for less than $300 to start, but it scales really well. You can do $200k in "business" and no one will think "where did he get the money for this?" Just make sure to take on a set percentage of real clients as you increase your personal cash flow. Use the money earned from that to get invest in legit businesses - whose profits you invest further (and so on).
Nah, much easier to buy houses in good areas that are complete dumps. throw a bunch of cash at them and completely upgrade the inside. Start renting it out and use the rent money as a funding source for the next property. rinse and repeat.
I’d bet a loooot of those illegal immigrants in construction do this
@@Fanta.... buying houses requires legitimate capital. Renovating those houses means you have to account for the cost of those upgrades. If a dump is suddenly renting for top market rate, that is going to set off a lot of alarm bells. Starting a cash based service business doesn't have any of those issues.

it is so basic and stupid ways, they just a crap for small amounts.
Since many people are relying upon this as a source of truth, it’s important to point out that you can’t be “forced to plead guilty” to criminal charges.
You can't legally but you absolutely can be forced to plead guilty
If theres substantial evidence against you and winning a trial seems impossible, taking a plea deal over a felony with jail time becomes so obvious it may as well be forced
The point of money laundering is, that even if someone looks into it HARD (and assume they will), they can not prove the illegal source of the money beyond a reasonable doubt. For that you need seed money, that is completely unimpeachable, so you have to work some job for a couple of years. Use your cash for all the things you normally pay cash (food,fuel) and save as much as you can ( or find a no-show job).
Then look for some business, where most costs are labour costs, find a bunch of undocumented worker or better yet a sketchy subcontractor that takes Cash and writes phony bills ( some arrangement, where you pay part of the the price in cash and he only bills you the other half ),make the necessary investments with your legit stash ( buying land, machines etc ) and then funnel your cash gradually into the part of the wages you pay in cash.
Works well for agriculture (brownie points if you sell the produce yourself on a cash-only farmers market), a timber operation ( buying land, planting it with trees and then selling the mature forest for example, in Europe you Even get huge EU subsidies for doing that ) or small scale real estate development/house flipping.
Paying your contractors partly in cash doesnt really stand out to them that much ( pretty common ) and if you pay your bills no one really has an incentive to rat you out , because they‘d land in hot water too ( especcially if you go with a subcontractor that does this sort of thing regularely, he‘ll probably keep his mouth shut about you )
So, to sum it up,at a small scale, dirty money only helps to get a business off the ground, you still have to put in the work. If you are lucky, you will be the owner of a sucessful business in the end. The only problem is that most criminals suck at legit business, so often the business will wither as soon as the dirty cash infusions end.
It just takes very long, is incredibly arduous, there is still a decent chance that you will get clinked up and you have to work a low skill job for years to get the seed money together. Just get an education or learn a trade, you‘ll be better off!
❤️❤️❤️ Love this post. It’s true most criminals are non business people who have easy access to a illegal product with few middle men. The brand and info on drugs sell themselves. But if you could fucking make millions on selling shoes and socks or a restaurant thats where the separation starts. Who is actually a good business person and who just has access to a product.
@@davidgravey1998 Thanks for the kind words :)
Most drug dealers/criminals also lack the patience for sucessful money laundering. They are in it for the instant gratification, don't want to accept the reality that they will probably be old by the time they are able to enjoy the fruits of their labour and go into it half cocked, because they want to spend it all NOW. So they start some bubbletea shop ( or use any technique from the video above lol) that *somehow* generates 1m€ in profits a year and get caught immediately.
Small-scale money laundering done right is too much like a real job for most criminals and the pace at which you can funnel the dirty money into your business ( without getting audited one month in ) is too slow to allow for the instant gratification and flashy lifestyle most criminals desire.
You aint buying cars. You aint buying mansions or yachts.
You are agonizing about how the fundamentals of your business look compared to similar legit ventures. You are going to have to oversee the day-to-day. You have to keep in line with accounting standards and do it all by yourself, because any accountant worth his salt will immediately know ( either he is legit and reports you, or he is sketchy and tries to use the fact that you are laundering money to his advantage somehow. But rest assured, he'll find out at some point) . You have to dress modestly and drive a crappy car, because else people will question how a small time farmer with a produce stand ( for example ) can afford all those designer clothes. You have to be a respectable person ( no drugs, prostitutes or other stupid shit) and know how to conduct yourself when you are e.g applying for a loan. You have to look at your pile of dirty cash day in and day out and resist the incredible urge to spend it on nice things. You still have to fret about profitability ( factoring in the cash payments to your contractors that is), because else you basically wont have anything left over from your pile after taxes. You can't associate with anyone from your criminal past. You can't commit any more crimes (apart from money laundering) , no matter how good the opportunity may look. You have to keep two sets of books, one official and the real one in your head, because you can not write ANYTHING down and you'd better keep it straight, because you are potentially always ONE fuckup away from the authorities putting you under a microscope ( especially if you have been investigated for or got convicted of a crime like drug-dealing ).
I literally can not understand why people bother with crime ( except if you are desperate and it's either that or starving). Either you dont make enough to launder it ( then you'd be better off learning a trade) or you make enough and go through a high-risk life of crime...
... only to work a low-skill job for 5-10 years to scrape together a down-payment for a business venture and then not having a good nights sleep for the rest of your career, because you have to play much of it by ear ( you simultaneously have to learn on the job and not make mistakes, there are no money laundering seminars) and only find out that you fucked up when it's far too late ( = when you get notified of an impending audit or get arrested for several counts of felony money laundering and/or tax evasion).
If your able to do it right, acquire marketable skills and start a legit venture ( if you can run a business with that layer of complexity added, you'd probably succeed even without dirty cash) .
If not, just arrest yourself, it'll be way faster ^^
@Charles White Thats actually the fate of most laundering fronts ^^
Where I live, there was a guy that even made a business of it: He opened Restaurants, laundered a boatload of money through it and then sold off the ostensibly very sucessful restaurant business to some poor dudes, that inevitably went bust with it. He must have done that at least a dozen times in my city, until he got arrested for something unrelated (Cocaine) and it all came out.
@Charles White I didnt say it was an especially good idea ^^
But you are right, even though the lawsuit IMO would most likely get bounced, because you can pretty easily mount a defense in a case like that ( "New staff isnt up to the standards" or something like that, thats kind of hard to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt) and retroactively proving money laundering at a restaurant is pretty hard ( you can't exactly observe past foot traffic and the dumpster out back with the surplus food will probably be emptied by then ^^).
But unfortunately in my country, money laundering cases and SARs are piling up by the tens of thousands and terrorism financing is prioritized ( and there is PLENTY of work to be done in that department) , so I doubt they would have the resources to look hard enough ( or to surveil him) to be honest. They basically have to hope that the common money launderer around here is dumb enough to get arrested driving under the influence whilst having a bunch of blow and a briefcase full of unexplained money in the car ( stupidity never ceases to amaze).
Keep doing your thing Johnny. We need more comedy while you are at it. Let’s go
The moment you realize why the family restaurant down the street always acted annoyed when customers came in
The problem is not sell drugs or laundering money, the real problem is when you don't pay taxes 😂
Mom's took the money bro, ain't no way she didn't look in the bag
💯💯💯
😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But why put it in a garbage bag and then tie up the bag. Of course she would throw it out. If you are gonna leave something in someone else’s house put it somewhere they won’t see it. Under a floor board. In the ceiling tile.
Love your background and hanging lights
You cannot be put into a box. Really an amazing story teller.
love the set. that brick is hard
they usually are.
@@pitohead77 can confirm bricks are hard.
St0cks are falling and b0nd yields are rising, but markets still don't seem *convinced* the Federal Reserve will pursue plans to keep increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $150,000 stock portfolio, what's the best way to take advantage of this bear market??
I’ve been on both end of the spectrum, I was investing on my own for about years, did my own study and analysis before actually buying, things became rather difficult not until a colleague introduced me to my current financial advisor. She has helped me convert my $50k portfolio into $350k.
@@richardsonp. That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this advisor, my portfolio has been stagnant.... Who's the person guiding you?
@@KathrineThompson my financial advisor is 'STACEY LEE DECKER'. I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured Afterwards I reached out to her. she has since then provided me with entry and exit points in securities I focus on
@@richardsonp. Thanks for this tip. Her website popped up on Google immediately I searched her up. I read her resume and it seems pretty. I wrote her and I’m waiting on her reply.
@@Garywinks wtf guys, this is creepy for so many reasons... don´t invest your money with the "help" of guys under some yt-drug-laundering video
Imagine his mom saying "I gave the money to Ted Beneke🥺"
😂
Dude's spot on. Much appreciated.

We had a restaurant in town that was obviously a money laundering business, it was closed most of the time, and when open had very few customers, and the food was barely even prepared on site.
You figured it would close quickly but it stayed open for years.
Please do a 3-6 part series on how big time drug dealers launder money - thanks
I feel ur right. "The coolest ones, you never heard of" subscribed ✌
The part about his mom throwing the money away and his face when he said "oh fuck" has me in tears
As an aspiring author, I just love listening to these life experiences from morally grey people like him. Thanks for the video! You'd make an interesting character in a book.
The top drug dealers are very great speakers. Nobody wants to do business with someone they can barely understand.
I’m hooked on your videos now. Great content !

My first year as a mail carrier, I caught on to a usps drug smuggling situation on my mail rt...the recipient of the packages lived on my route. The were the sketchiest tweekers ever.
What wound up happening?
@@Complete.cyclepath The postal inspectors got involved and apparently they were building a case against the shipper that involved shipments to MI, WI and MN.
Who knew Luke Wilson was a drug dealer?
@@Complete.cyclepath he snitched
What is a carrier’s “legal obligation” in these instances? “Catching on” to it isn’t doesn’t automatically equate to it being reported.
Very entertaining content, great video format too. Almost as if he’s being interviewed but he’s talking to a camera, really dynamic, thanks for sharing.

Impressed by the lack of adverts , bravo sir!
For a bit of clarification: “The City of London” is a somewhat autonomous enclave of Metropolitan London. This is where most banks are located because it has some laws separate from the rest of the U.K.
This goes back to Medieval Britain and is a very interesting topic by itself.
Regards.
Really ? I had no idea. Thanks for the info !

You did a great job in presenting.
...and now I'm on a watchlist.
Love this video so much
😊
This man is the reason I started moving baby bricks 😂
My great grandfather got rich not doing anything illegal. "Don´t do drugs. ... Stop it" - Michael Jordan
that you know of 🤷🏻
Are you interested in such work
Why does this sound like one of those drop shipping shopify tutorials 💀 😂
Thnx amigo. This is very useful for me.👍💯
First off, love the channel. Been watching non stop since I found you. Second, you gave me the very first thing I'm gonna say, while shaking my head, when it's my turn . "Oops.... got caught!" Classic.
The time retention on these videos must be through the roof
I was just thinking the same thing
The truth of the matter is that most of these drug dealers say they want to quit but don’t actually want to. It’s very easy to say you did want to quit when you get caught
dont want to and many times they cant.
@@johnton6488 you watch too much movies. That’s extremely rare, mostly only in cartels, but even then that’s rare.
Quick money beats working a 9/5 I’ll lose my sanity doing 9/5 jobs respect the legal hustle tho!
@@Luke-yi1vz not if you can’t spend your money on anything meaningful and are statistically going to be left with nothing after serving time in prison.
And most drug dealers don’t even make minimum wage. They just do less work so they think they’re making much more than they really are
Like how he briefly talk bout how he got arrested but not the time he got cause he was snitching the second he got busted 😂
Most mthrfckrs on the streets are rats. More so now then ever
You clearly didn't watch his other videos
Found you on YMH. Fantastic content man.
What's that Chris Rock piece where he quotes the " all great fortunes come from great crimes". Thing. Damn! He just beat me to the quote!
Thanks for teaching me how to launder money
As someone with a major in finance I’m qualified to say you have no idea how to launder money.
You think reading a few text books and passing some college exams makes you an expert? You're a clown.
Yeah, he’s such an amateur. Highly amusing
@@826hearty I'm no criminal but a cash business like a car wash is the most obvious choice, with little to no startup cost. All cash. Here in the UK, there are at least 5 hand car wash shops in my small town, pretty obvious what is going on - generally at least 5 guys at each, normally Eastern European. The cash gifts made me laugh though, I have very generous friends officer, 15 of them give me $15,000 per year for no reason lol. Talk about raising instant suspicion lol
Could you be so merciful and teach us a little bit☺?
I mean.. Yes he does 😂 it... Works. Plenty of his examples
“If I could do it again” easier said then done better off selling the idea to Netflix and get payed. You’re a good story teller. Start working on that script and you have a better shot then most people starting to get in the film industry
Than*, paid*, than*
True, just a low life scum
I finally understand money laundering and how it works. This was great.
Do you want such work
well...the greatest show on YT so far!!
