Haha, too funny. So you think youre gonna get rich growin bud ? good luck.

Here's what you do, get a job ! Yes, a real job !!! Pay your bills on time, build your credit. If you have good credit you can buy whatever you want, then pay stuff off as it comes. At the same time, buy nice clothes and eat steak and lobster every night. What more do you need ? Really ? Drive a nice car, eat good food, get ur hair cut once a week and have money in your pocket. What more could one ask for ?

SECURITY - do you really think there is security in holding a job? they will fire you, use you, treat you like shit. i've wanted what your talking about, but for some people.... scratch that, for most people its impossible, and they are slowly realizing it. why not use a specific skill you have learned? growing is perfect. i like being my own boss. if your on here, growing weed and you cant pay your bills using your skill, you need to step it up a notch - sorry to say. i dont wanna brag... its not my point, but i harvest (1) plant a month equalling 3.5oz from my 2'x4' growing area. smoke 1 oz to myself. sell the rest. i haven't had a "real" job since april and i'm doing well. slowly building up some savings.... something i could never do with a "real" job. i'm sorry for ranting. its just i dont believe everyone can fit into the preverbial "mold" you speak of.
 

oh really???

Start a charity helping people. Either growing vegetables for a soup kitchen or gathering items of need for single moms. as with any charity you accept donations. Put your earnings from green into your charity. Help yourself~ help others.

If I were you I would transfer my money from cash to gold coins. So lets say I have $400,000 straight cash, I would buy $400,000 dollars worth of gold coins and then take a flight to Europe with my gold coins in a suitcase. Once I land I sell all my coins and I'm back to cash then I would get a bank account there (for me it would be Swiss) and then I would be tax free and have all my cash intact.

try to get on a plane with 400,000 dollars worth of gold coins. try it, to switzerland, or to cayman islands.... especially with this security-obsessed TSA.

there's a few ways to launder money. none of them is free. and none of them are as easy as walking into a bank, asking for clean money, and walking out with it.

the best thing you can do is to not have the money and contraband at the same place at the same time except when during a transaction. right before, or after, keep them as far apart as possible, and don't put all the money in one place.

there's a reason in movies they show ppl stuffing the doors of cars n shit, b/c that money can't stay in the country safely. the only 'safe' way to launder money is to create shell corporations in tax havens. tax-free means no questions asked. you heard the saying: the best records in government are tax records.... you have to go to a 'tax haven' country, create a shell corporation which does not have to file taxes or anything, and just deposit the dirty money as 'income'....

back in the day ballsy lawyers would fly the money down to the cayman islands themselves. you think you'll be getting 10k per month in cash, that's not enough to have to launder it in my opinion.

if you have the balls to be asking about this online you should have the balls to travel to a nearby airport and talk to a few pilots, see if one of them would fly you down to the cayman islands a few times a year.

400k of gold is only 286 coins, which is only 7 rolls of coins. Pretty easily carried in luggage, in fact you could fit them all in a shaving kit bag.

The problem isn't getting the gold into Shweiz, its getting gold out of the USA, your gonna have TSA all the way up your butthole bringing that much undeclared gold through. Switzerland doesn't tax gold coming in, even if you declare it, just don't bring any sausages and you'll be cool. If you have a relative who lives there just ship them the gold , insure it of course. Then just leave it in gold form until all this EU mess and USA deficit mess is worked out, reconverting back into cash might just be the dumbest thing you could do.

In theory, taking gold across most national borders (between developed nations) is as legal as taking your shaving kit, but it will draw a lot more attention from customs and probably be taxed heavily by many countries on entry, and by many on departure, and by more than a few, both ways. You need to find out what the laws are in each country, and what are the threshold amounts that may be permitted without duties, or at what quantity/value you may require special licenses.

In practice, if you're a US Citizen taking your own bullion OUT of the US, and its current value is more than $10k, expect to be detained at the airport and heavily questioned (and threatened) by the IRS... and don't be surprised if they audit you for the next 10 years. Under new US tax laws/IRS regulations, taking ANY assets out of the country is considered prima-facie evidence of tax-evasion.

Actual this is exactly what you do. The key is being able to support your lifestyle, I have been around since christ was a cowboy and I'll tell you this, the people who make large money and get to keep it have a source of income that supports their life style. Now the ones who don't have jobs, this group is easy to spot, they flash all the time, strip clubs, cars, bikes you know all the toys but the most expensive thing they own is the car. Bank's not going to lend you money if you have no source of income. Buying the house and upgrading it is the best idea.

Another thing you need to do is deliver sort of on your Job. So don't say your something you know nothing about, try to pick a knowledge job, I know that's a bit of a stretch here but that type of job only requires what you know. So be a growing consultant and make 50K a year, pay your taxes and start upgrading your house.

Money orders are traced too!
no they're not.

every AVOID THIS SCAM article tells you to not buy a money order and ship it out of the country.

b/c it can't be traced. i saw a story on tv the other day about a guy who sent money via money order to a supposed woman, and the FBI guy was saying how remote the chances of getting his money back was.

paypal's also a good way to get scammed. western union?? same shit....

I like the car idea. How would they catch you if if you bought an old muscle car and then fixed it up buying all of the parts in cash and then selling it.

if money laundering ever became a problem for me i would give give and give and help out as many people as i can fuck money
 
Take my word for it-I have been doing this professionally for 20 years-if you draw attention and get looked at, they will do a "lifestyle audit" and you WILL BE FUCKED. All the suggestions on here work and work well-UNTIL YOU ARE UNDER EXAMINATION. Stop and think about it-there is nothing, N O T H I N G your little weed-saturated brain can think of that these guys haven't-THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS!

My suggestion-seriously-is to bury it and then at the end, flee with it to Costa Rica. DO NOT LIVE A HIGH-ROLLER LIFESTYLE-YOU WILL BE BUSTED IF YOU DO!

yeah good point .... good thing im a plasterer .. id probably get away with saying i did most of it myself/with help from friends who are also in trades...

but come on .. everyone in this thread at the moment .. isnt ever (with the odd exeption) going to make enough cash to buy and fix up a house.. i mean hell i would have to grow 5 or 10 times my current grow to be able to make that kind of cash ... the only thing i have to worry about is friends and family asking about cash ...

i mean i think ill be working for a long time yet... i hate it and i cant stand working for "the man" when i think i can susstain myself by growing then ... ill probably go for a small cash business.. probably you know a car wash or small arcade...

every day i stand there at work dealing with all the fuck ups in society and thinking to myself .. why am i taking orders from this guy .. i dont give 2 fucks about this place... i look around .. people working their ass off for the company like ants... just to make a shitty amount of cash to buy some food and maybe some new shoes... fuck that ... i just think to myself .. soon .. soon it will all be over ill be sat at home . doing whatever the fuck i want .. making cash whenever the fuck i want and aswering to knowone but myself .... i just wish i would have started younger and i would have missed all those shitty years of working my ass off making burgers,claning building sites... working on the docks at 3am carting around boxes of ice...

i can see it now .. sitting in the pool .. smoking a big fat joint... can of beer... no-one ordering me around ... cant wait..

I know a dude who laundered his horticulturist earnings, via a tattoo shop. Tattoo Shops are all cash, and on top of having a business front of a tattoo shop, you could ACTUALLY run the tattoo shop (or pay someone to do it) so you could still be earning a little extramoney, and keep yourself busy in all your freetime once you have your garden dialed in and pounds are coming out weekly...If you are an athlete in a rich area, train little kids...Aside from money laundering, training rich kids is a great way to make money. Parents in Pacific Palisades, CA will pay up to $100 per session for you to take their kids out and show them how to run...Best part about it, is you can be super high, throw on some Oakley shades, baseball player style, and run kids until they are tired. Then tell theyre parents they are doing great then laugh to the bank

I agree 100%! In this game if your making a good amount of cash you need to roll cowboy style and have cash put up in a number of places. I hate the bank myself but I'm sure someone could help you out with this subject if you must go that rout.
THATS THE WORST IDEA EVER, IF YOU GO TO JAIL AND CANT PAY THE MONTHLY FEE ON A STORAGE FACILITY, THE OWNER WOULD GO IN AN LEGALLY BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT SHIT. I would just keep saving up with the small amounts in the bank you can, then find a "legal" business to launder it, if that's what you want to do. Something easy that you can make up "customers" that have no indication of any actual physical product. Like a nail salon lol, or like on Breaking Bad, a arcade, car wash, car mechanic (oil changes for something that wouldn't leave a product paper trail), etc. SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN, NOT SOMETHING RANDOM,but only if you have a lot of close friends/ family that would narc would you need something absolutely related to you, other wise you can just lie. AND something that you could have employees you can trust, like friends, that you could maybe even pay a lil extra to launder it for you. OR build a safe somewhere in your house like behind a wall, fill it up, and put dry wall over it, and just leave it there until you need. Cops would most likely never find that unless they completely tore up your house which is very unlikely unless the somehow suspected it was there. Thats the real key, just hide it, never tell a soul, make it hard to access, and only get it when you absolutely need it.

oh yeah, no laundering is useful unless you have an actual taxable job that "could've" been the source of your startup cost
