That's the dumbest way one could launder money. You left a trace everywhere and the vast majority of people with money taken away from their accounts are going to tell their bank that same week. You literally triggered all the alarms. Then it gets sent to your Apple developer account? The one that has your face, your name, your bank details, etc...

Wtf man, use your neurons a bit.

Wait, your argument is

"this suspension by Apple couldn't be due to Apple catching them laundering money"

because

"this isn't money laundering"

because

"if someone laundered money this way, they would get caught"?

Do you not understand that you just destroyed your own argument?

And I have inside knowledge that you're wrong at least much of the time. This particular case, I have no idea, but extremely competent teams inside FAANG believe that there are many billions of dollars of attempted money laundering of this form, that they catch and stop.

So now you’re admitting the scenario I proposed is money laundering.

Have a nice day :)

It's not, that's just regular racketeering.

You didn't even get the nuance of my sentence there, it's like if you draw a computer in a piece of paper and you tell me "it is a computer", then I tell you "welp, then that's the shittiest computer I've ever seen" and you're like "hurr durr, you see, it's a computer". Lol.

I can now see clearly why you are just unable to grasp the concepts discussed here. :)
