Money Laundering

I think if you are going to start a business that sells weed the government may look closer into your personal life and maybe find your grow operation in the process. I am in my last year in business school at a good university doing a project on start up companies and i am researching fishing charters. You could claim to charge $200 dollars a person, 6 people a trip, 2 trips a day thats $2400 dollars a day if your running at full capacity and your could get a nice new toy in the process(sick boat)

what about using a wholesale clothing company/ Horse Show Clothing booth type of front. you can have any amout of inventory at anytime( easily stored) and potentially could make several thousands a weekend. as a wholesale company you can do anywhere from 30,000- 100,000 in profit a weekend, depending on the show, it also wont show is the customers "pay" cash up front or COD. just figured an easy way to launder mass quantities at a time. theoretically this could work with any kind of wholesale company. but one with less inventory the better. plus all the inventory you buy for your "wholesale clothing" company, you can give to your wife or girlfriend or whatever. just fly out to L.A., san pedro market, wholesale clothes for cheap. take about 7 grand cash and spend away. then your set to deposit your money.

I think a "Spiritual Adviser" is the way to go.
Same line as the massage therapist except you don't need a license to operate.
Cash only, Reciept book, and lots of sinner's.
I like the idea of selling a service and not a product.

ya but if you already had a similar business established, would something like that work? its been open for several years, so should have good trust from gov, since there is already credit line and fluctuating profits, no thanks to our wonderful economy right now. i dont mind paying the taxes on the money, since i could actually legally use it to buy the stuff i want/ bills etc. then stash the rest of it away for a " rainy day" when you need a lot of cash quick.

smells like bacon

Almost all of the ideas on this thread are quit comical...no offense, I know most of the bros are just throwing out ideas.

I'm not a commercial grower, but i know business. I've made money in Real Estate, investment banking and merchandising. First thing, if your lifestyle doesn't reflect your income, big time red flags will be raised (if you're a target of an investigation). So paying your bills with employment income and supporting your lifestyle with cash is never going to work in the long run...too many loose ends.

The best way to turn cash (regardless of where it's coming from) into legit wealth is in Real Estate. I've personally flipped 5 houses (legitimately). Here's how it goes. You buy a house as your principal residence that needs repair . You hire contractors to make repairs and pay cash for most (but not all), only you are the guy who did repairs as far as anyone is concerned. All materials are bought by you and you keep receipts. Over the span of 6 months or a year, you put a 100k into your house, of which 2/3 is labour and you increase the value by another 100k or more. Profit will not always be the same...but your investment will be reflected in the new value of the home. You sell the house and make your profit. You move onto a bigger project and so on. In 5 years you create a million or more from your Real Estate venture.

Keep tools in your garage and learn a thing or two about the reno business. When you sell your house, all funds are managed by Lawyers and your bank is in the loop.

The plan is fool proof not withstanding a few mistakes along the way. It really doesn't matter if the cash you are using comes from legitimate sources or not, there is no way for anyone to know, because you did the work yourself and the proceeds are as a result of sweat equity.

As mentioned, I've already done this with legitimate funds and actually did most of the work myself, but no one would have known if I hired out some or all of the work.

Clearly this strategy does not provide instant results that many may be looking for, but if you think like a businessman rather than a person with a hole burning in their pocket...you'll succeed in the long run and your wealth will be legitimate...

Hope this helps...

Cheers...

ya i do like that idea. but it would be hard to do that if you wanted to own a house that you could grow year round. by putting that as the primary residence and then flipping it all the time you wouldnt be able to grow, especially if your going to have workers around. now if someone was to grow commercially for a couple of years, make the money they want to then go through that process, it would work, but to be able to have a steadier more frequent way to legitimize that mysterious cash.


i do not grow commercially but saw this thread interesting and decided to post in it. i have always had a knack of finding loopholes in things, so i figured i might be able to give some good ideas. but i do like the idea of selling a service rather and than products ie. spiritual advisor and such

pay your bills with your wages (if you have a job) spend a lot of your drug money on whatever tickles your fancie (thats not too expensive so people dont ask questions) then with all the cash around Buy up gold ... silver etc ... bury it .. that way if the value of cash drops .. as its been known to do in the past.. (germany ww2 etc .. loaf of bread for 100000 etc.) then you can just use gold to trade or sell .. for little loss in value

as for buying large things boats cars houses... i would buy a second house ... fix it up like crazy .. build a pool ... extra rooms etc ... pay all the builders in cash ..then sell it a couple of years down the line ... then all the cash ends up in your bank ... then just do it all over again when you have too much cash ..

but i mean come on ... who makes that kind of money on here realy ... man at best i double my wages every week .. 3 plants every 3 weeks .. 6-10 oz a week .. sold 100pound an ounce .... grow it cut it dry it and its out the door with an ounce or so for me .. and with my extra cash every 3 weeks ... Poker ..250- 500pound cash games ... if i win well im up by thousands and i can get proof from the casino as to where the cash is from .. easy ..
