Not in the case of illicit cash received for illegal activities.

You would want to convert that cash to taxable income.

If you spend the illicit cash, an investigation would show you to be living above your means.



No, you don't. Wouldn't you rather convert it to an after- tax asset than to taxable income? It is the reason God invented shell corporations.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Bill has me on ignore so I will ask the question in general.

While all money laundering is illegal certainly the methods he described are multiple layers of illegality. Insurance fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud all on top of laundering.

It seems compound criminality may clean a higher percentage of money but get you a higher jail sentence as well

It's absurd for anyone to claim that you could go to a table game OR slot machine, deposit cash, not win anything at all or not play at all, and then go get a check for the cash you deposited. Anyone who claims otherwise should be ignored in entirety. That would be straight money laundering conversion of cash to casino check.


Some research that should be done as well, as far as this idea of taking $150K cash to a casino and laundering it via slot play, hoping to win and get W2-Gs, is the threshold minimum dollar amount for which a casino will issue a check? I play table games only, so my winning checks have always been $5K or higher, but will a casino issue a winning check at slots for say, just a few hundred dollars?

What I am getting at is:
Drug Dealer goes to casino with $150K cash.
Plays slots.
Wouldn't he first of all have to play somewhat big just to get enough jackpots to harvest some W2-Gs? And if he is playing that hard, then stands to reason he will end up receiving a CTR or SAR for the cash input. Any CTRs or SARs received will defeat the purpose of the money laundering exercise as there will be a record of cash input.
And if he plays small, and doesn't get any W2-Gs, just smaller win tickets, is the cage even going to issue a check to him for those smaller win payouts? Maybe absent a big (above W2-G threshold) win the casino won't even be able to verify that there was a win, and will not issue a check at all for those slot tickets, which would represent a combination of cash input and winnings. Or, even if they are able to figure out what portion of the slot ticket is cash input and winnings, will they issue such small denomination checks?
Notwithstanding that according to DarkOz he wants REPORTED winnings, so these small win tickets aren't going to help him in that respect.

Again, keep in mind, the cage will never issue a check for anything other than the winning portion. The casino will not lend itself to straight money laundering of the cash deposited absent a win.

It seems like AW is ready to bet that he can do it.

Anyone claiming such a thing is so disconnected with the ways casinos work today, that it would be, if nothing else, evidence of not having obtained a winning check from a casino in YEARS.

So you think the drug dealer might not be able to prove a measly $10,000 income? And the IRS is going to go after him for $10,000?

How many CTRs or SARs will he receive during this process? Will he be guilty of structuring if he tries to input deliberately under 10K cash per 24 hours? Will he be guilty of structuring if he runs around to different casinos deliberately trying to keep each casino's deposits under 10K per 24 hours?

What do his past tax returns look like? Has he ever even filed?

And we're not talking about 10000 (or more) income, we're talking 10000 or more, cash. honey baby, it's hard to convince a jury you found it in a taxicab.

I suspect a drug dealer is resourceful enough to pay a local business owner to say he made some wages.

Ten grand just isn't that hard to prove.

Most likely the drug dealer will then claim kids on a tax return (he may even legit have kids) and he gets close to ten gees in child care credit. And I am pretty certain the IRS would accept their own refund as a source for his money.

There are just too many simple ways to explain ten grand

And then once winning a few W2G payments it's off to the races

The IRS may “believe” that there are no offsetting losses to the W2Gs but the feds will not. So I’m not sure you’ve accomplished one of the main goals of laundering the money.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Correct UnJon, and in any case it's not 10000 that he has to launder but 150000.

If the drug dealer has all that going for him, some sort of front business or income, he wouldn't need to resort to something as risky as trying to launder 150000 cash in a casino.

It's not productive to carry this on, if you're not going to accept that simply showing some winnings is insufficient to negate that along the way a record of inputted CASH will also be created.

Absent any direct drug evidence, you are saying the Feds would not accept legitimate W2G income that was taxed by the United States government?

Wouldn't that put the Feds into the position of having to prove beyond a reasonable doubt losses incurred? And how much?

I accept that.

I don't accept the amount you feel is necessary. Nor that a resourceful drug dealer can't account for it.

You simply don't need $150,000 to put into a slot to clean $150,000.

And as I said and you ignored, just a child care tax credit from the IRS can add up to ten gees.

Of course a rich boy like you wouldn't qualify for a child care credit so would have no idea how easy and smooth it is to account for ten gees

For example you never answered the question what a casino is more likely to do when a stranger comes in betting ten grand a hand.

A) surround him with security for being suspect

B) Send a host to greet their new favorite customer.

Of course if you answered that correctly you would be admitting you are wrong so true to form you just ignored it.

Was I required to answer either the A or B answers that you provided?

Besides, you're introducing facts not in evidence...that wasn't the question you asked.

I did answer the question that you asked, which is below....

Quote: darkoz

Here is a question for you Coach and the rest of the people in this discussion

It's a guess the casino reaction question.

A man walks into a casino and inserts $10,000 into an E-Craps or E-roulette game and makes a $10,000 wager.

Does the Casino

A) surround him with security guards and ask what is he doing?

B) send a host to introduce himself to their new favorite high roller?



It's plain to see that you didn't ask "what a casino is more likely to do",
so now go ahead and admit that you are wrong.

Well that’s my question to you. Why does a drug dealer want to launder money? Once we know the reasons we can test how successful a stack of W2Gs is in meeting that “why”.



He wants to account for where a certain level of income came from.

Are there other reasons?

How many CTRs or SARs will he receive during this process? Will he be guilty of structuring for trying to input deliberately under 10K cash per 24 hours? Will he be guilty of structuring if he runs around to different casinos deliberately trying to keep each casino's deposits under 10K per 24 hours?

What do his past tax returns look like? Has he ever even filed?

And we're not talking about 10000 (or more) income, we're talking 10000 or more, cash. honey baby, it's hard to convince a jury you found it in a taxicab.



I suspect a drug dealer is resourceful enough to pay a local business owner to say he made some wages.

Ten grand just isn't that hard to prove.

Most likely the drug dealer will then claim kids on a tax return (he may even legit have kids) and he gets close to ten gees in child care credit. And I am pretty certain the IRS would accept their own refund as a source for his money.

There are just too many simple ways to explain ten grand

And then once winning a few W2G payments it's off to the races



The IRS may “believe” that there are no offsetting losses to the W2Gs but the feds will not. So I’m not sure you’ve accomplished one of the main goals of laundering the money.



Absent any direct drug evidence, you are saying the Feds would not accept legitimate W2G income that was taxed by the United States government?

Wouldn't that put the Feds into the position of having to prove beyond a reasonable doubt losses incurred? And how much?



You keep thinking about courts and trials and evidence. That’s missing the point.

To whom? A jury? A judge? The feds? The IRS?

If the answer is the IRS, then I think a stack of W2Gs works fine. If the answer is the Feds, then I don’t think it works so well.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

It's absurd for anyone to claim that you could go to a table game OR slot machine, deposit cash, not win anything at all or not play at all, and then go get a check for the cash you deposited. Anyone who claims otherwise should be ignored in entirety. That would be straight money laundering conversion of cash to casino check.


Some research that should be done as well, as far as this idea of taking $150K cash to a casino and laundering it via slot play, hoping to win and get W2-Gs, is the threshold minimum dollar amount for which a casino will issue a check? I play table games only, so my winning checks have always been $5K or higher, but will a casino issue a winning check at slots for say, just a few hundred dollars?

What I am getting at is:
Drug Dealer goes to casino with $150K cash.
Plays slots.
Wouldn't he first of all have to play somewhat big just to get enough jackpots to harvest some W2-Gs? And if he is playing that hard, then stands to reason he will end up receiving a CTR or SAR for the cash input. Any CTRs or SARs received will defeat the purpose of the money laundering exercise as there will be a record of cash input.
And if he plays small, and doesn't get any W2-Gs, just smaller win tickets, is the cage even going to issue a check to him for those smaller win payouts? Maybe absent a big (above W2-G threshold) win the casino won't even be able to verify that there was a win, and will not issue a check at all for those slot tickets, which would represent a combination of cash input and winnings. Or, even if they are able to figure out what portion of the slot ticket is cash input and winnings, will they issue such small denomination checks?
Notwithstanding that according to DarkOz he wants REPORTED winnings, so these small win tickets aren't going to help him in that respect.

Again, keep in mind, the cage will never issue a check for anything other than the winning portion. The casino will not lend itself to straight money laundering of the cash deposited absent a win.

No one said this is a good way to launder money or something one should attempt to do or readily available at scores of places. You were using words like, IMPOSSIBLE. And yet, it's not impossible.

Minus asking for a check (and I could have received one had I asked, but there was no reason for me to want one) I have received a W2G's for Handpay Jackpots where I simply inserted money and cashed out. There is at least one occasion where a handful of other Advantage Players were there who witnessed this.

Definitely the IRS.

Why would Feds get involved unless they already have some suspicion about drug dealing as a source of income?

Assuming the drug dealer had managed to stay under the radar and his only concern was how to account for money as he spends it, then he could gamble, win W2G as proof of income source.

I don't see Feds getting involved as to source credibility just on a whim.

If OTOH they already have some credible proof of dealing drugs as income source then no it wouldn't work.

Making a series of deposits like that would be considered structuring and a computer algorithm is supposed to pick it up. The government can freeze any bank account and you'd be called in for a friendly chat. Structuring will produce a SAR which is much worse than depositing the $10,000 and getting a routine Currency Transaction report. SARs are supposed to be followed up on while the currency reports are filed away, to perhaps be used at a later date. Banks file thousands of CRTs each day. They only are scary to the uninitiated.

Suspicious Activity Reports- bad and to be avoided.
Currency Transaction Reports- routine and may establish a paper trail that usually ends up buried away

I'll look, but are you sure that you haven't written about front-loading must hits or multipliers or some other methods of using confederates to set up and win a "prove I can win at the machines" type bet?

Several years ago I made a whopper of a cash deposit at a Bank of America here in Vegas after a big win. I was asked for certain information for the CTR.

What troubled me is that the bank DID NOT ask where the cash came from. I wanted them to know that it came from CASINO WINNINGS because i knew i had losses to offset this win on my taxes.

The bank didnt want to hear anything about the casino. What they wanted was my BUSINESS INFO. And ONLY my business info was entered on the CTR.

This worried me, because I was afraid that this large cash deposit would raise red flags about my business and I was not going to include this large cash transaction as business income.

For that year I did report a loss on gambling and there were no repercussions. This happened more than five years ago.

So a question: have any of you actually had a CTR filed after depositing a large cash casino win and did your bank ask you about the casino and record the casino as the source of the cash??

What is the purpose of this thread, anyway? That's kind of a question for MDawg. Assuming that none of us here are laundering money through a casino or work in a casino position where we might care about such a thing, what benefit does this thread have?

It's mostly just arguing about stupid crap that's not going to apply to any of us, at least, over the last several pages.

As far as the bet with Axelwolf and Coach Belly that will probably never happen, you guys should hammer out the details in a PM and---if you come to some sort of agreement for a bet---both can come back to the thread and each post that you agree to a certain set of terms, which then can be stated, verbatim, in each of your posts.

Here and there, provably wrong statements have been made that have been set straight. One example is the notion that someone with a net loss on slots for the day could not get a check after hitting a W2G, which to his credit, MDawg eventually admitted that he's out of his element on that one. There was also the notion that there wouldn't be a relatively low-risk mechanism by which W2-Gs could be hit and that notion is pretty clearly wrong.

As far as the rest of this goes, I tend to believe that most of the participants in this thread (myself included) might as well be the guys in Office Space looking up money laundering in the dictionary. Like asking, "Would that work?" "Would the IRS not dig a little deeper into that?" How the hell would any of us know!? Even if one of us did know, fair chance it would be from practice, so it's not like he would admit it!

I think someone may have said something about Mdawg possibly laundering money for someone, or something like that. Thus the reason for the thread trying to debunk the possibility.


As far as a bet with coach goes:
As soon as I suggested it was not something readily available he then used that as a way to back out and suggested a random casino.

I think it's obvious to anyone with some casino knowledge that it is not a standard everyday thing, so there would be no bet if it had to be a random casino since it is a rare thing. My original statement was in regards to MD using the word IMPOSSIBLE.
