Quote from: 99herps on July 26, 2013, 07:43 pmThere's something obvious that isn't being addressed so far. The methods described here, so far, start from the point where the dealer has cash in hand, which isn't relevant to someone on SR, who is starting with digital funds. If you're doing a brisk business, the DEA and IRS isn't going to be impressed when your digital abstract expressionist art on ebay is mysteriously being bought only by shadowy anonymous reloadable cards. The common, known typologies being referred to here so far can be found in World Bank and UN drug reports, as well as FINCEN docs and criminology textbooks. It's out in the open since there's no risk in the feds letting everyone know the typologies they can combat. However they won't tell you about the typologies they can't effectively combat. For one example, if you read the leaked State Department stuff it names third-world countries with a combination of a banking infrastructure and poorly paid LE officials open to bribes. There are funny stories of mansions being built on dirt roads in West African countries where LE is mysteriously uncooperative and far wealthier than they should be on a local salary. One report mentioned that the only jail in the entire country was a three bedroom house without locks on the doors.I wouldn't trust anyone's laundering scheme until I know exactly what they're doing. I also wouldn't trust any scheme that requires you trust anyone, including the launderer, with your identity. Laundering isn't something I'd outsource unless you're talking to a prince from Dubai or other person somehow clearly beyond the law. Don't be deceived into believing people are "getting away with" something just because they haven't been caught yet or are simply too smalltime to be on the radar. I haven't been caught but we've had many grillings, never had a crack before, only a few issues which were easily fixed which are to be expected in everything since no audit is flawlessly passed, not even an accountant could probably do that funny enough. I don't launder for people, I just give them the methods to their circumstance and they can evaluate it themselves of course that way and help them understand why it works, not just how.Cashing out bitcoins isn't too hard if done right, I offer services privately and work with a fair few vendors sending them cash in the mail, most others have their own methods and I even help with cashout methods. Most people are just stuck trying to buy a car for example or trying to move their money into a safer place than their home country, notably the US.
