Would this work?

I've been trying to think of some methods of getting your money into a legitimate bank account without raising any red flags. Hiding money in your house or in a safe isn't very practical.

Obviously just depositing the money in small amounts takes a long time and one day you could be asked where all this money came from without working a job.

So let's say we have $20,000 to work with. You have it under your mattress and you want to put it into your bank account.

If you want to make it look legitimate what you'll want to do is set up a website that sells a popular fast selling product such as t-shirts or some kind of service. Next, you'll want to buy some traffic, maybe 100,000 hits or so to start off.

But now I was thinking, how can you get X amount of money into your account and make it look legit? I was thinking you could load your money onto a large quantity of visa/mastercards gift cards and then 'purchase' your own product/service on your website which will at least leave a paper trail of where this money is coming from.

So for example, if you wanted to get $20,000 into your account, you'd load 100 $200 visa/mastercard gift cards. With the traffic that you purchased it would not seem suspicious to see one sale out of every few 100 visitors.

I know it looks good on paper, but would there be any complications with this method? What could go wrong?

Throw in your input.

why do not you take money to a casino,
you exchange your money into chips you play 2 / 3 rounds then take your money to cash, and you leave it in your bank account set up,
if you do not often do is no problem. right? correct me if i'm wrong!

jimmy87 is right, of course make only safe bets , we don't want to loose har earned money XD
also if it's only 20k , as long as u dont put it in the bank all at once but in 5k steps, they are not allowed to give a shit, as it can be from uncle jimmey or friend ned or some thingtotaly legal, it is only 200 k n amounts like that u should worry about, cause aslong as it's not a huge sum and u pay ur taxes all is fine right?

lol better question is how to money launder?
keep money in an lr account and use when needed?
or use paymer.
no need to risk putting it into a bank account
or hire saul(breaking bad)

 

[Uluda88]

but the principal of money laundering as saul does it is so stupid
u have 100k and instead of puting it in bank acc u buy a hair sallon for 100k
so that in 1 year u have 100k in bank legaly... but where did u get the 100k form for hairsallon?
this makes no sense...

Well I know the casino method, you can ask for a check at the cashier when you cashout your money so it shows that it came from the casino but what I guess what I'm trying to get at is, what if over the course of a year in this account you accumulate say over $400,000, even when you deposit in smaller amount of 2k every 2-3 days. I guess the reason I'm asking is because you can't exactly buy a brand new $50,000 car or a $150,000 condo by showing up with a briefcase full of money, right? They'd want it to be through the banks.

I've thought of the casino method already and that would go hand in hand with this method to deposit more money into your bank without looking overly suspicious.

Depending on where you are, buying and selling expensive items overseas and getting back your cash through the bank is easy enough. Like here in jamaica cars are an excellent choice, especially japanese types, You buy it pay the duty(as high as 184%)and resell might even make a profit. Food is another quick big seller here(containers of rice etc).
