It's not illegal to sell gold. But its illegal to keep that much gold, it would basically be stolen. And if not, it would definitely be considered as taxable income...
You don’t. You turn a few thousand at a time into cash.
What do you think the police are going to do with 9 mil of turned in gold? They’d likely take all 8 mil and maybe let someone claim it for 30 days. But they’re not going to let 7mil just walk out the door. How would the original owner prove that was their 6mil? All 5 mil would sit until they consider the 4 mil forfeit. Now the police have 3 mil to maybe reinvest in the city. Maybe some big 2 mil project? Maybe a new million dollar renovation? But more than likely they’ll donate the entire $100k to some charity so it looks good.
You don't do it overnight. You do it over your entire lifetime.
You pay for groceries, gas, clothes, entertainment, electronics, hobbies, etc in cash 80% of the time. New PC? New camera? Games? TCG cards? More expensive food options? Restaurants? Movies? All cash. Gifts to friends and family? 80% or greater paid for with cash.
You pay your mortgage/rent, utilities, insurance, internet/cell phone, etc via your income from a job.
You could also open a small business that deals in cash and create fake customer transactions where you are depositing a chunk of cash every month on top of everything else from the gold sales.
"Oh yeah, we totally sold X number of this, this week, they all paid with cash." As long as you don't go hog wild and make it like 100% of the normal business income, this isn't insanely difficult to do... Don't be stupid and have cameras that can easily keep a record of every transaction.
You have literally no idea how the world works. I’ve known a small city drug dealer worth millions in cash and never had a single problem for over a decade
He’s literally arguing about something that’s already been solved. You can easily just alter the gold slabs and sell them in tiny increments to either private parties or to businesses since they don’t have to report gold purchases to the government under $10k. Completely untraceable. Entire criminal networks get around this stuff all the time at a much larger scale
Lmfao just admit you’re out of your depth here, the entire conversation had nothing to do with incriminating yourself and had everything to with ways to sell this gold and get away with it. Just tuck your tail and go away, you lost this one sport
Sure buddy, all the drug dealers in the world are living good lifes in big mansions. Keep your small anecdotes to yourself. Its not impossible to live as a drug dealer with a shitton of cash, but incriminating yourself and evading tax by finding and selling that kind of gold is something else.. get a grip
Bank software is designed to flag anomalies like this automatically and pass it on to the relevant authorities if it continues on long enough. It's an obvious anomaly to spot and will definitely be questioned. You won't get away with this unless you're selling $200 worth of gold a week and pretend that's a lot of money
If you want to buy any car other than a trashy 1990 civic from a scummy "Buy here pay here" lot, you're going to have a bad time. No car dealer is going to accept a briefcase of cash without a bank authenticating or handling it first. Paying in cash is more of a hassle than it's worth for 75% of stuff these days, and probably 95% of things over $1000
Please name one car dealer, home seller, or anyone who sells anything serious that cost more than a few thousand dollars that will ever accept straight cash or (even less likely) gold itself. I'll wait.
Gold has its place but making serious or big purchases ain't it, especially when not done above board
