Most Western Union offices don't require ID below a certain amount (It's $500 at most of the local branches where I live). It's not really any trouble at all once you have it in your hand. if you declare it as payment for services rendered you still have to pay taxes. If you declare it as a gift you are only allowed a one-time tax exempt gift from your spouse and parents. After that you pay taxes too.I am more disturbed by paying taxes than I could ever be about selling anything "Illegitimate". If you have any idea what kind of fucked up shit you are funding when you send in that money......It's no trouble at all - I set up the account maybe 2 years ago. Have been using it ever since, just literally a direct transfer from LR or Pecunix online and within 1 business day the funds are in my account and on my credit card. And sorry I was wrong about the "no-limit", I checked it out and it's $250k limit. $3,000 daily cash withdrawal limit, and $35,000 POS transaction limit daily. I guess it depends on what kind of money you are dealing with. If you were just getting an extra 500 or a grand in every month, then I would probably just use W/U out of town or across the city.But once you start getting to a point where you can get really hurt by the state for doing private business, it's best to keep it private. They only way they could ever find out about my money is if they stole my card and knew both of my PINs or have a sneaking suspicion if they broke into my house and managed to search out the cash.Well worth it to me. The money doesn't exist as far as they are concerned.....
