Good man, Zeke!

An equipment rental business would work really well. I used to be in the marina business in a tourist area. Think houseboat, ski boat, jet ski, and fishing boat rentals. We could easily do $50K on a long weekend during the season in boat rentals. The thing is, there's no physical evidence of a cash boat rental, no inventory comes or goes. It's just an abstract idea recorded on a piece of paper that says that somebody drove a boat around for a while and you took in $500. Tool rental, or any other rental of equipment would be just as easy to fake.If you found $18M it would take quite a while to burn that down to a couple deposits of less than $10K, which is the limit where the gov becomes interested, and doing multiple deposits doesn't work as they note that too.
The best way to handle large sums would be to lauder the cash, preferably thru a business you own that is the kind that takes in a lot of cash - like a car wash (e.g., Breaking Bad) or a restaurant/etc., maybe a pawn shop or a gun shop?

Pretty much. My two senior partners sold out their interest in the corporation to a couple of what turned out to be international con artists. One of them was at the time Muhammad Ali's attorney, and the other was from Hot Springs Arkansas and mafia connected up in KC. I left as soon as I discovered their financing scheme, which included bank fraud and numbered offshore accounts, and realized that SOMEBODY was going to jail. It was a wild ride while it lasted...trips to Vegas, fine dining and hotels, call girls, drugs, parties, money laundering. If I'd been less scrupulous it would have been fun.Did they make a Netflix series about your life?
These people depend on your normalcy bias, that tendency to believe that they are good people and not crooks because you don't experience crooks and criminality every day. I had my eyes opened back in the late 70's and I don't suffer from that normalcy bias. Everyone I meet is a potential crook, the more public and powerful, the more likely their crimes are huge.
At the very least,almostevery politician is corrupt or corruptible.
If that's your gun Thorburg, it looks like you did a nice job cleaning it up.View attachment 764876
1973 I found 94A Stevens behind a panel in an upstairs closet of an old farm house being torn down for salvage.
It was in pretty bad shape but cleaned up real good and has been my very productive truck gun with both shot and slugs for over 40 years.
