[QUOTE="Homicidal_Squirrel, post: 6317338, member: 6750031"] At a certain point it becomes counter productive to launder money. Not just for the person that needs to launder the money, but for the one doing the laundering. Would you try to launder $500? $5,000? That's not a lot of money. It can easily be spent on every day things. Also, the percentage that the cleaner gets wouldn't be worth it if they got caught. Let's say they get a generous 50%. Is it worth it to do any amount of jail time for $250? Well, money laundering isn't a casual thing. What would you consider casual abuse of the system? [sblock=Yes, that's exactly what I said]... or not. :p[/sblock] I have locks, but some times I forget to lock my door. Fortunately I have guns as well, and they don't have locks, either. The point is that this policy fails to stop anyone from laundering money. You need an account to deposit cash? Okay, get one. There you go. Now you can launder money. Having an account does not stop you from doing it.
