A proper money laundering scheme should be a business which is in no way profitable, run by the brother or cousin of a mass murderer who’s really passionate about making a specific kind of food or something but has no idea how prices or advertising work, frequented by folks who you should absolutely never make eye contact with!
Fun fact, at various times, the IRS has tried to crack down on money laundering schemes only to be faced with massive public backlash over them shutting down people’s favorite restaurants.
There’s a cafe in my town that is 100% a front of some sort. No question in my mind. But if anyone tried to shut them down, I would riot in the streets because they make the best french toast I’ve ever had in my life and you can buy a whole meal for $6.
The “government” ain’t nothing more than a protection racket itself, kid. “Money Laundering” is just fancy government talk for an honest Joe trying to do a bit of business without having to pay those federal spooks a cut.
