Website is shit

KYC is shit.

I get pajeets, velenzaueans and shit trying to scam me.

Only americans and a fucking nigerian have been worth it -.

Fucking lost $1000, but made that a day prev.


Oh well, here's to it.

Send messages, don't be fucking weird. Put money in escrow, give bank wire details.

Get the money, and then close that account - do it with a branch you don't use.

50/50 with branch and new account.

Wires can be reversed, LOL.

Fucking HSBC called me once after a pajeet wired and the price went from 220 to 190.

Like, fuck you buddy, didn't even message me, wanted to keep the ether and fiat.


Alternatively, I'm thinking with my good rep, I could scam some good sellers --- cause fuck all you need is to lose 5-10% on a trade but you make it back if the bank sides in your favor.

You wait 14 days+ and forge the text conversation, 99% sure most people don't keep logs.

Technically, this is the easy part, you just need to structure your deposits or, y/know, say you operate an online business.

If we're dealing with <100,000, like 99% on this board, no issue. No one cares.

>100,000, yeah you need to def forge/create papers. No one questions shipments/orders from HK/SG/JP though.

>Open Bank account in Person @ branch.
>Use local UPS store, or virtual office of your city of choice. More popular, e.g. NYC/Chicago, easier - all you need is an address. Even better if you get the virtual assistant so if the bank or anyone calls, you know what's up and it can be a heads up via snail mail.

>IF you're not in that city, you hire someone to pick up the mailand scan it or you use the additional service which doubles the monthly virtual office cost.

>Avoid multiple wires, needs to be 2-3, which are not suspicious after creating a new account. Wires are a form of KYC, if you're doing cash deposit, lol, wow, yeah you need to properly structure it w/ invoices if asked.

>Big city = trade is popular = less questions. Dress good, act nice, and get a local number too.

Never had any issues, and prev I've arbitraged/channeled quite the amount.

Also, opt for paperless option. IT's fucking bullshit how banks send paperwork confirming you've had a wire or shit. It stacks up, so much, just daily login to your ledger @ bank at 12:05 AM and 12:05 PM for best updates it's already a batched job anyway and screenshot it.

After a year, don't file annual report and the state will dissolve corporation. Taxes can be nullified easily, you didn't have any sales, didn't have a resale certificate, etc.

That's the gist of it anon, now have fun and sell your services to suspicious/paranoid people.

>As you'd find out, like everything in the world, it's a who "you" know thing, and people "trust" friends vs "internet strangers."

Nothing, you're avoiding potential flagging by the banks' risk management department as a high fraud account.

When you register as a company, you create an online image of what you do. Retailer, services, wholesaler, whatever.

By creating an artificial need, you're then become a potential bank customer, and the bank will serve you. You can't go to the bank and say "lol I sold crypto, I wana deposit this" in many scenarios.

I just explained a basic prerequisite for you guys to do it yourself cause 99.9% of you never biznes'd before or understand liability.

For most people, they just need to do one transaction and they won't go through the hassle - just find a cheap local non foreigner on localbitcoin to do your dirtywork.

Sure, that works if:

1. You already have a CB account/can open one.
2. You have a high withdrawal limit.
3. You accept CB reporting you to IRS, some day. If you're top 5%, you're already reported.
4. You don't get flagged for Withdrawal/KYC.
5. Many banks will flag/suspend accounts that accept bank deposits from CB's bank metro bank in SF. TD bank still does. Remember a few months ago the whole suspension of debit/credit cards a few months back to prevent chargeback/fraud? Same thing for deposits, always has been.

Fiat entering/exiting is a new ecosystem. It can be flagged as suspicious. Having someone who has the comparable alternative in fiat liquidity eliminates that risk. That's why there's a fee. ;)

Small time transactions, aren't really cared for, but they're still recorded and overtime can be used against you.

Paper trail just adds noise and gives you cash.

everyone requires KYC but anything under 20k falls under the same laws as anything else (ebay whatever) - no 1099 filed
you're talking about structuring there's no reason you can't do that with cb or whatever else, that's illegal though but still having an LLC does not solve that problem
just a heads up.

>> No.11398276

Agreed. Still it's better than forging paypal invoices and ebay auctions.

Plus, good luck issuing subpoenas to foreign country businesses. Can't verify a transaction if you don't have both ends of an invoice.

Also, avoid matching the number you're doing w/ the invoices. Plausible deniability w/ same timing.

The thing you're forgetting is timing/convenience. Most people want to cash out 100% same day. Many people don't even plan next week.

Some, may have an exchange account, can stage the deposits to be under deposit limit over a few days, but maybe the exchange doesn't have fiat USD - just tether? CB has FDIC on Fiat, but lol bitfinex?

Plus, continual deposit in fiat is structuring as the first deposit limit you have w/ CB is $10,000 and you do get flagged if you meet 50K in a week/month (one of those two. w/o incoming wire history.)

If you're an accredited investor, your withdrawal limit is default at 250k.Most people can't prove that.

tl;dr
1. Time/No exchange.
2. Undocumented idiots/High Risk.
3. People in foreign countries w/ unstable currencies.

Those make up the majority of my customers. Unicorns are the ones that invested early, but most of those cashed out by March.

1. Ebay acutions are public, and if you don't use a real auction, that's obvious.
2. Paypal ledger.
3. Google metadata on ebay auctions are stored and then used on thirdparty services for "datamining" prices, keyword analysis, etc.

Ideally you want the least number of parties involved. While there may be some stonewalling in the beginning to verify the authenticity of these auction/paypal id's you're going to be fucked once it's unravled.

With your own org, you can backdate and do net-15/net-30, etc - this will appease any financial checking. You also control all the books and ledgers, so it is a b2b transaction where you control it so it's b2b2c.

You minimize involvement of 3rd party firms to just a bank. You don't fuck around with bullshit TOS or "online agreements" or "community standards." it's a fucking bank, it's your money and wires can't be reversed.

Plus, worse comes to worse, you can say fuck it and keep the crypto and fiat one day and hide out for a few months if you've done proper anonymizing. No, not a delaware corporation, lol.

But anon, at this point, if you have to ask - maybe it isn't for you.

More than 100k, better have some documentation that doesn't point to crypto to help pain points.
