I wouldn't be surprised if a significant fraction of e-bay's revenue
comes from money laundering schemes.
(Have a large pile of illicit cash to launder? Put up some worthless
items for bid, then have accomplices 'buy' them at high prices with
money orders, paid for in cash, natch.
10-15 people could launder thousands of dollars a week that way.
Nothing need ever be shipped of course, and so long as you pay e-bay
and the MO company their vig, everyones's happy.
Keep every transaction at < $9K and no one ever tells Treasury. You
have to maintain a bunch of e-bay ID's to avid triggering e-bay's
watchdog routines (if I can think of this, they have!).
Hell, pay the IRS *their* vig on the "profits" you make on e-bay, and
you almost have a legal scam, they won't get you like they did Al, at
least.
Probably ALMOST as profitable a laundering scheme as making movies in
Hollywood.)
Yeah ok. But don't stop there Bruce! Tell us how to get that "large
pile of illicit cash" now...
