Yeah but what about the other half of the transaction? That person needs to have identity verified and a license in the system. That doesn’t sound like a good starting point to a laundering scheme.

If you're a dealer?

"Sign up for this site. I'll give you $5,000 to put in your bank account. You're going to 'rent' my car, except I won't actually give you my car. In exchange, I'll give you a discount on your drugs for the next six months."

Drug addicts in the throes of withdrawal, or 'savvier'? Absolutely would go for such "deals" like this. And really, it's probably fairly low risk - the worst that is likely to happen is that Turo disables your account.
