    Give it to any female. They are good like that.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Cash is bugger all use in large amounts. The best way of laundering this much cash is to do a deal with underworld gangs (in itself problematic). Get them to deposit dosh in your account at the rate of 30p in the Pound and let them take the risks.

    Anybody wanting to spend large amounts of cash will immediately attract suspicion. A "trigger" could be cash purchases in excess of $10,000. And if you had $40 million to spend, that's over 4,000 transactions. So you can't buy a new car or a house. I don't know what bank's use as a trigger for large cash deposits, presumably a lesser sum

    Simple: wander into 4 million shops and tender a ten-quid note for a 50-pence bar of chocolate...

    Yes, they are "registered", but that's not the issue -- you're still likely to attract attention from the authorities if you tried to pay for one with cash.

    Are you sure.......I went on a Money Laundering lecture and was told otherwise....and that this was a common route for money laundering.......maybe it was yachts.....or it has change...either way not gonna argue...

    I imagine it depends where you are and who you deal with. Thing is , the buyer is going to have the same problem disposing of the big pile of notes you gave him. When the authorities grill him, he's going to tell them the tale, so you better have that boat well away by then. Repaint, change name, sail to some far off place, and resell.

    EDIT: I iamgine whoever pulled the heist will have contacts in the casino industry. LOTS of cash money goes through Macau, let alone Las Vegas.

    Easy. Buy an Italian suit, rent an Aston Martin and a couple of girls and go to the Casino Monte Carlo. Give them your cash and open an account. Stay in Hotel De Paris (next door) over night and spend up big time. Make sure you loose about a mil and then check out the next day. Just ask for your balance to be paid back in the form of a cheque. Bingo.

    Yep that is what I meant.....I was told that the name did not have to be registered so could be changed at will etc.....who knows.....we will never get the chance anyway eh?

    Some problems here too. Like crossing international frontiers in the possession of large amounts of cash (most countries, including Switzerland have significant penalties applying to this); and having to put it all in safe-deposit boxes in Switzerland. It would be so much more convenient to have it in a call account at your local High Street bank...
