Oh, so any income reported won't be in your name? Clever, although you would also need bank accounts in others' name.

Basically you'd need to use their whole identity, then withdraw the cash, possibly with fake IDs. Which is what they're doing, I guess.

Wire the funds offshore to a place more willing to look the other way for a small fee:do this a few times to other accounts in other countries, park the clean non-taxed cash offshore, get a cc or debit credit for the clean account...profit

Sure you spend sum cash on cleaning the funds, you're still not paying taxes on that cash win/win

You can open accounts online with ease. I posted about it before if you peek in my profile.
