Money laundering?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I do t think so, I’m not an expert or anything, but I think money laundering is typically done where you can pay cash.

The idea is to pay cash for something so that you can show a receipt of a sale and deposit it into a bank.

If you are buying online, then the money is already in the bank.

The sellers, friend. They buy the GPU cash and sell it online for a clean transaction into their account. 5k laundered per sale
