Hello /biz/,

I recently returned from a trip to Vegas where I won $100,000 in cash over the course of 2 weeks. Now, I didn't win the entire amount playing for 2 weeks straight, but rather I won this amount during my first day there (started with $30,000 in capital). The reason I stayed an extra 13 days was because casinos have this weird regulation where if you cash out over $10,000 in the course of 24 hours they have to report your gambling winnings to the IRS for you. So, what I did was I cashed out $9500 in chips everyday until the 10th day, during which I then smuggled the cash back to my hometown. So here I am. $100,000 richer than I was two weeks ago.

My question then, is....How do I deposit my cash without drawing attention from the government? I know federal agents can seize your cash if you structure your deposits (aka smurfing) at banks. So I don't want to do that. I've also read that it's better to just deposit the whole amount so as to attract less suspicion. But I don't want to pay taxes on it. Keeping the money is a big risk too since anybody could just break into my home and steal my cash.

Is there anyway I can cheat the system and get away with it?

Thanks for listening.

This appears to be sound advice, but holding onto the cash and spending it constitutes a big risk. I don't want some jealous assholes to break into my house and rob me because they noticed I've been buying fancier cars and motorbikes recently.

I like gold. It's very stable and isn't positively correlated with the equity markets. Cryptos, on the other hand, are very volatile and are also a very big risk to invest in. Investing in crypto would just be like me gambling again. If I win, I win big. If I lose....well, my money's gone.

1- don't keep it all in one place. Spread it around the house in hard to reach places.

2- go to local bitcoins

3- buy small amounts of BTC IRL by meeting the seller in a public place ($1-5k)

4- Repeat 20-100 times

5- buy TRX

6- wait until mainnet goes LIVE may-june

7- sell TRX. you've now doubled your money

8- cash out

9- pay tax.

If you've got cash, put it in a safe deposit box. You won't collect any interest but it will be relatively off-the-books versus putting the money into a bank account.

You can use the money for living expenses or other things on a cash basis. You'd essentially be buying things at roughly a 30% discount since you're using pre-tax dollars. Depending on your living circumstances and what you pay off in cash, the $100,000 can last you maybe 10 years.

Alternatively, you can buy things like guns, ammunition, precious metals, and such things as those stores typically take cash. Things like precious metals don't require nearly as much space to store as paper money and are essentially indestructible so that even if the bank were to catch fire, you'd still have your metals.

AML reports will still have been filed. First of all, it's $10000 limit within twenty four hours. If they have your ID already, they aren't going to ask for it again. They're just going to file the report for any instance of transactions exceeding $10K within a 24 hour period.

Secondly, even if you didn't have $10K worth of transactions within any 24 hour period, your action at the casino is all tracked and observed by internal employees. There is no way the casino didn't observe you cashing out just under the limit every day. Now it gets filed, not as a standard large cash transaction report, but as a suspicious transaction. For trying to avoid limits. Yes they can do that, and I can virtually guarantee they did.

The government knows you have the money, regardless of whether it makes it to the bank. Don't be stupid, report it on your taxes next year.

And if you don't believe me, look up the relevant laws on AML / KYC reporting. It's all there. Casinos don't explicitly tell you what to do, so you make mistakes as you did.

Going from 30k to 130k in 2 weeks sounds like a dream run. Something i'd only ever dream of doing. If you actually did this, you should cherish it. I don't think I will ever see the day I do this and its one of my dreams to go on a big run in vegas one day.

Literally the easiest solution ever. Go to a coin shop and buy gold and silver bullion. Then you never have to worry abot Taxes... and when the dollar implodes in the upcoming currency crisis and there is a deflationary collapse of all asset prices... you'll be sitting pretty and will probably be able to buy multiple apt complexes.

Since gold is going to have to be revalued one day soon overnight to many multiples of what it is today to purge all the debt from the system that the world is swimming in.

So you can have a situation where a median price home drops upwards of 90% in value... now costing like 30k.... and a gold ounce being worth anywhere from 10k-100k (in the new currency)

And B. You could end up being very very rich in a dollar collapse. Now you might think oh bullshit the dollar isn't going to collapse. But in event that you are wrong you are absolutely GOLDEN having that metal in the event of a dollar collapse.... so it makes most sense to buy gold and silver because it doesn't seem like you need the money anyway.

I don't really like the term "gambler" because it comes with some negative connotations. I like to think of myself more as an investor when I game. You'll never see me play the slot machines or roulette simply because those are unbeatable games. I look for table games that can generate me the most EV and those are mostly Baccarat and Blackjack. Poker is also in there but I don't treat poker like work. Poker is more like fun and when I lose at it, I'm okay because I treat it as a game of chance.

Games like Baccarat and Blackjack, those are games that can be beat. So if I lose in the long-term I know it's not because of luck, but because of my skill level. Again, let me reiterate. I don't like to "gamble" my money. I risk my capital only when I am expecting the value of my investment to be worth its risk of ruin. Otherwise, I won't play.

The money I won from my Vegas trip was through Blackjack. To a regular ploppy it may have looked like I was just getting lucky and hitting a winning streak but I was actually playing Basic Strategy + Deviations along with occasionally counting the cards when I was feeling like there wasn't any heat from the casinos on me.

I remember when I was playing one of the dealers said,
>"I know you aren't counting cards because you split on a pair of 10s! Nobody does that."
Yes, it's true. According to Basic Strategy you're not supposed to split a 20 when playing against the Dealer UNLESS the Dealer shows a 4, 5, or 6. It just happened that the true count around that time was something like a +4 (really high) and the Dealer had a 6 so I took a risk and split it then voila! It paid off.

I also took insurance whenever I had a lot of money on the line too. Something you're not supposed to do according to BS. But you're supposed to deviate from that parameter and take even money when the TC is a +3....

So yea, there ya go. That's my story.

This thread is so sad and can be summed up simply.

Don't use banks.

there you go OP, that's from an accountant. No books, no paper trail, use your cash for restaurants, Craigslist sales (etc), but never purchase items from a regulated entity (dealerships, Microsoft store, you get it). This money is now your hidden safety net.

Good luck.

>> No.9332368

>>9332325
Absolutely OP... now I do think there is actually an amount like 7-8k of more if you purchase in a day they report it. But that just means you have to go multiple days and probably best to go to a handful of different coins shops.

Trust me tho... put 50k into gold at least if not all of it. And you will be happy soon.

But NEVER sell for dollars or at least not all of it. If gold doubles to 2600... you did not make a profit. That's just a phantom profit because all that happened is the dollar became more worthless. That gold ounce didn't change at all.

Since the entire point of buying gold in the first place is that you distrust fiat and want to have money and wealth for when fiat dies.
