I have a friend who has recently started making a decent sum of money, roughly $10,000-$30,000 a week.

Now the only problem is that all that cash was made through somewhat less than legal means, and is entirely in hard cash. My friend has very little experience with banks or credit unions. He's rather uneducated, and doesn't know a thing about finances, taxes etc.

He recently got a part-time job that pays minimum wage in order to explain his income, but he's worried storing that much money in a bank account will arose suspicion.

Any advice on how he can safely and discreetly store his money? Preferably protecting it from being seized in the event of him getting apprehended by law enforcement.

Also advice on any fully legit investments he could put his money into so he could transition into a fully law-abiding citizen

He needs to get a job serving at a restaurant, preferably somewhere nicer or somewhere with a lot of customer volume. A bar or brewery will have high sales from alcohol. Keep cash in a duffel bag under his bed. Deposit money $500 at a time and pay taxes on it. I've worked at restaurants and bars where you can get upwards of $5-600 a night, if not up to $900-1000. He's going to need an accountant come tax season to help him jump through hoops because no decent restaurant would allow him to declare an extra $500 in tips on a night where he had $200 in sales

Don't worry OP I'm not here for you since this isn't my lane but you better make an exit plan pronto and think 5 steps ahead. You don't sound like you're going to get the hell out of dodge (best option) but if he isn't beholden to any distributors or managers (not likely) then you both could make a clean break.

Also if you're going to launder money you should definitely have or have someone with knowledge of tax law and irs codes...that's as far as I'm going with that.

You don't sound bad and its easy to be on either side of the law. Just don't get killed and invest in a lawyer.

One of the few ways to keep your money safe is in cash or some other form of it i.e. precious metals etc. Just go 50-50 gold/cash and then hide it somewhere in your apartment in a wall or undergound where if the feds need to find it they would have to destroy the house.
The other way is swiss banks they have a confidentiality policy again go 50-50 swiss banks and swiss funds and you are good to go.
The third way is the safest ,pay the taxes nigga (~30%).
As for his expenditures just get a credit card and pay it off in time with cash so it will be seen as he is just paying off a debt each month, they cant really put him in jail if its official money he got from the bank and then paid them back.In time try to increase the credit limit on the card so he can fuly enjoy his reaches.
If you want investments it still going to rouse suspicion.You would have to take big loan from a bank, invest in gold, indexes etc and then pay off the debt to

If he wants to store the money safely.

step 1 : go to any store that sells paysafe or whatever. Fill up that card with x amount of money. Fill it up nicely, but not too much, that would be suspicious maybe.
Step 2 : Repeat step 1 untill you have gotten rid off all your cash.
Step 3 : Buy usdT / Eth or another stablecoin.
Step 4 : I dont fucking know, at least the money is stored online instead of physical now.

tl;dr set up a shell business and put the cash through a local podunk credit union

OK, all y'all nigs better sit down. I have working in anti-money laundering for about two and a half years now for two different banks (one fairly large based in PNW, one VERY large and based in US/Canada). I won't comment on the ethics of laundering money except that what goes around comes around, and no one makes that kind of cash without getting blood on their hands... and it WILL come back to you.

Anyway, everything in this post is entirely theoretical and does not construe an approval of how to launder money. I am simply describing what I have learned through my work experience and what I have seen in the AML field. I've screened literally hundreds of different customer types and I am simply sharing some thoughts and observations...

1. Basics: every time a customer deposits or withdraws over $10,000.00 in cash in total to all their bank accounts in a single day, it triggers something called a Currency Transaction Report which gets sent to FinCEN and pretty sure the IRS has a look too. Banks not only look for customers who file CTRs, they look for customers who habitually dodge the CTR filing threshold (i.e. $5,000.00 a day on several consecutive days). This is called structuring and is a red flag. Don't do stupid shit like structuring, in fact it is better to deliberately deposit cash more than $10,000.00 in a day on a pretty regular basis... because somehow, the fact that you don't care about the filing requirement is a good thing.

(continued)

>> No.16057082

(continued)

2. Cash deposits are examined mostly on whether it makes sense for the customer type and the frequency of deposits. Cash-intensive businesses = gas stations, laundromats, convenience stores... whatever back office analyst is looking at your cash is probably thinking "yeah that makes sense" and clears the item from his queue as he thinks about banging Becky over in treasury. If you're not a cash-intensive business, i.e. just some dude who slaps $150,000.00 in his bank account one day, it can be written off as a one-time occurrence but more likely he'll ask the branch to give you a call and ask why you're dumping $50,000.00 in cash into your account every week (assuming the teller hasn't already asked you when you brought the cash in). So, have your backstory straight before you try any of this out.

3. Of course, once your backstory is established with the bank and you've been making deposits for a while, the bank will run EDD on you (which means you're extra high risk and they need to make double dog sure your story is straight). This includes internet searches for your business, CLEAR/LexisNexis/whatever, even site visits, i.e. they will actually send someone out to your business to make sure everything is legit and you don't have a secret Bitcoin ATM or whatever. But, smaller banks with crappier AML programs can't afford to do this, i.e. Mom and Pop Local Credit Union. So, no Chase, no Bank of America, if it has a footprint outside your state, probably not worth it.

4. Cash goes into bank account = placement, funds move to a different account via check/ACH/wires/whatever, - layerings, funds are used for legit business transactions or to buy more figurines of Rei for you to jizz on = integration.

>> No.16057149

5. I already said no structuring, but seriously don't do it! This is the biggest red flag and every faggot who tries to launder money (i.e., you) thinks they are cheating the system. They're not, and we are specifically looking out for this.

6. No sudden spikes in activity: keep the cash flow relatively constant and even, making sure to deposit over the CTR threshold every once in a while. Do stuff with the cash to make it look legit, here's one I like: bring in cash every day, and on Mondays bring it in three separate bags (because you can't deposit cash on weekends, so if you separate it out like that it looks like Saturday's cash + Sunday's cash + Monday's cash). Ask for change back sometimes. Ask the tellers to break up 100's into 20's, fives, tens, whatever sometimes. Don't just deposit all 20's and 100's like some mongoloid. Break it up into smaller denominations, don't just do round dollar amounts.

8. BE NICE TO THE TELLERS AND BRANCH STAFF. They are the "first line" of defense and are the bank's face when they are looking at your activity (because they will). If they think of you as a nice, charming young man who's been so successful in his new business, they won't give you much thought and will be annoyed when some douchebag in the back office wants them to ask you a bunch of probing questions.

Not sure what else to put, other than you are dumb and don't do this, but hey I'm not going to stop you.

Crypto is the best way to launder massive amounts of money. You can buy a bunch of bitcoin/eth using cash through bitcoin ATMs and then disperse the coins into different wallets. Then you do an IPO of a random coin and pay some pajeet to make a website hyping it up, and transfer up to millions of dollars worth of BTC to buy that coin during pre-sales etc or premine it and sell at an inflated price after a year of holding. You can even wash trade the new crypto to establish realistic looking volumes for a few months. After you've established long term capital gains tax status on your money, you can sell off the newly transfered bitcoin that you sold to yourself and pay a measly 20% fee for fully laundered untracable cash. This is cold hard USD from being a meme crypto guy and traveling to meme conferences. You wont be questioned at all because it looks the same as every other crypto IPO.

Thank you for the time to write out these steps in detail. He's looking into the requirements on purchasing a local convenience store from its current owners. It's not part of a larger branch and is owned by some friendly pajeets that are intending to sell it to other pajeets but are considering selling it to my friend since he's been visiting it since his childhood.

It is pretty difficult to figure out a convincing backstory for him. My friend's idea was to open up an account with a local credit union and make one large deposit, possibly storing a good portion to at least half of what he saved into the account and the rest in regular payments once he has ownership of the pajeet mart.

He's 22 years old though with little education and very little work experience and comes from a poor, working-class family, so we're worried that'll get in the way of him getting all the necessary permits and licensing to own the Pajeetmart.

Is applying for a business loan from the bank a good idea or can he even get one without having ever opened a bank account or no credit score? Also will his initial large deposit be looked into as more than a "one-time occurance?"

I'm assuming the regular, steady deposits should only start being made once he's gain full ownership of the Pajeetmart?
