Structuring: (Breaking down large amounts of money into smaller transactions to avoid detection thresholds.)
Cash deposits:You may make numerous small cash deposits into multiple bank accounts, each below the threshold that triggers reporting to authorities. For example, instead of depositing $10,000 at once, you might deposit $5,000 in one account, $3,000 in another, and so on.
Withdrawals: you may make multiple small cash withdrawals from different accounts to avoid raising suspicions. you may conduct these transactions at different bank branches or on different days.
Structured purchases:you may make multiple purchases of money orders, cashier's checks, or other monetary instruments in amounts below reporting thresholds. you can later consolidate these instruments or convert them into cash.
Smurfing through intermediaries:You might employ multiple individuals, known as smurfs or runners, to make transactions onyour behalf. Each smurf may conduct small transactions to avoid attracting
attention.
Business transactions:you may use a legitimate business, such as a restaurant or retail store, to process numerous small transactions, mixing illicit funds with legitimate revenue. This can be done by manipulating invoices or inflating sales figures.
Trade-based laundering(Manipulating invoices or trade transactions to facilitate the movement of funds across borders.)
Over/under-invoicing: In trade-based money laundering, you might manipulate the value of goods being imported or exported. For example, let's say you want to move illicit funds from Country A to Country B. You can over-invoice the value of goods exported from Country A to Country B, creating an inflated transaction amount. The excess amount would then be deposited into an offshore account controlled by the criminal organization. Alternatively, you could under-invoice the value of goods imported into Country A from Country B, effectively moving funds from Country B to Country A.
Fictitious trades: Another method involves creating fictitious trades. You might set up sham companies or use existing legitimate companies to create the appearance of genuine trade transactions. In reality, no goods or services are exchanged, but invoices, bills of lading, and other trade documents are created to make it seem like a legitimate trade has taken place. The criminal organization can then move funds between their own accounts, disguising the illicit origins behind the facade of legitimate trade.
Multiple invoicing: You can also use multiple invoicing to confuse the transaction trail. In this scheme, a single shipment of goods is accompanied by multiple sets of invoices, each showing a different value. The higher value invoices are used for illicit transactions, while the lower value invoices are presented to authorities for tax and customs purposes. This method allows the criminal organization to overstate expenses and reduce taxable income.
Shell companies (Creating fictitious companies or using dormant entities to legitimize illegal funds.)
Establishing a shell company: You would set up a shell company, which is a legal entity that has little to no legitimate business activities. This company may be registered in a jurisdiction known for its relaxed regulations or high level of privacy.
Providing false information: You would provide false information when registering the shell company, such as the identity of the company's beneficial owner or purpose of the business. This makes it difficult for authorities to trace the funds back to the true owner.
Opening bank accounts: With the shell company established, you would open bank accounts in the company's name. These accounts allow you to deposit illicit funds and give the appearance of legitimate business activity.
Moving funds through the shell company: You would transfer illicit funds into the bank accounts of the shell company. This step helps to create a layer of separation between the illegal funds and their original source.
Conducting transactions: Through the shell company, you would engage in transactions designed to make the funds appear legitimate. For example, you might create fictitious invoices, sales, or services to justify the movement of funds.
Layering and integration: To further obscure the origin of the funds, you would engage in a series of complex transactions, such as multiple transfers between different bank accounts or jurisdictions. This process, known as layering, makes it challenging for authorities to trace the funds.
Extraction of funds: Finally, you would extract the laundered funds from the shell company by various means, such as disguising them as legitimate business profits, investments, or loans. This allows you to reintegrate the funds into the financial system as seemingly clean money.
Decentralized exchanges (Utilizing platforms that operate without a central authority, making it more challenging for law enforcement to track illicit transactions.)
User anonymity: When using a decentralized exchange, you have the ability to create pseudonymous accounts without providing extensive personal information. This anonymity feature could potentially be exploited by individuals seeking to launder money.
Multiple wallet addresses: You can generate multiple cryptocurrency wallet addresses on decentralized exchanges, which can make it more difficult to trace transactions back to specific individuals. By frequently switching between different wallet addresses, it becomes harder for authorities to establish a clear transaction history.
Token swapping: Decentralized exchanges often offer a wide range of tokens, including privacy coins or tokens with built-in anonymity features. These tokens can be utilized to obfuscate the origin and destination of funds during the swapping process.(Token made for anonymity is monero XMR; Check a post I made about why you should avoid BTC
Lack of regulation: Decentralized exchanges operate independently and may have minimal or no regulatory oversight. This can make it more challenging for authorities to monitor and enforce compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. (Also try and use hardware wallets which you've the keys to avoid exiting scam and other foreseen issues)
If I get time I'll write a comprehensive guide on this always remember is good to read almost all posts in this subdread before concluding on what path to follow since every post has different insight
