You forgot the best money laundering vehicle of all, the tanning booth. Absolutely fuck all stock to worry about, just plug the machines in

My pet theory is that those third party sellers on Amazon selling ordinary books for hundreds are laundering money. I know of one that doesn't even hold the stock, they'll buy the book off someone else who's selling for £4 and sell it for £200.
It's perfect because you can just make up a price and books don't have VAT on them either.

Someone’s got to buy something in order to clean the money though, even if you pretend someone did you can’t pay cash on Amazon

There is the plushest, most expensive cafe near us. £6 a bacon sarnie type. All sorts of crazy expensive stuff on the menu that no one in their right mind would have for lunch. It's always empty and always has 4-5 staff. It's caught my eye as a dodgy one.

Yeah the net result for me after the existential panic passed was to just knuckle down and do some fucking work for a change. I'm not sure I like how it made me feel? Fulfilled? Useful? Valuable? That's not for me, I need to get back into the full time procrastination groove.

Theres a cafe near me that does one for about that price. Two maple smoked bacon chops on some fancy bread with some fancy ketchup. I'd rather pay six quid for that than six quid for a feed grade full english. |

Is £6 particularly expensive for a bacon sandwich?

Seems reasonable if you get a full pack of bacon and a loaf of bread in it.

I'd rather pay six quid for that than six quid for a feed grade full english. It's all relative though. If it's packed full of decent bacon and top notch bread then I'm fine with it. Though you often only get the pretense of a quality £6 bacon sarnie. So you pay for the feeling of being ripped off too. But give me a £3.50 large packed full of feed grade bacon with brown sauce and I'm skipping down the road! |

I'd happily pay 6 quid for a decent bacon sandwich. Normally have a nice fancy loaf and some extras.
If it's just bacon and a bit of bread and sauce I'd just make it at home.

It's disguising dodgy transactions online. You can easily claim you bought a book if you have records of that. There was an article a while back in the guardian about ebooks being used for money laundering. But they made the mistake of listing gibberish books at £24,000. |

The most obvious money laundering Ive ever seen was a group of eastern european guys buying each others cars at a car auction.
And the jamaican barbers I lived above in birmingham for two years that was open for an hour a day and never had any customers.

Count me in on being happy to pay £6 for a cracking bacon sarnie, ideally on some sort of 36 hour (minimum) sourdough. Oooh, I'm all hungry now.

Independent phone shops with 5000 phone cases hanging on the wal. Internet/Computer repair shops and basically any of those little shopping arcades with 5 or 6 shops usually a hairdresser, nails, watch repair and a tailor.
No way they're making money. All ripe to pump through dirty cash.

A drug dealer I went to school with used to own some car dealerships that he rinsed his ill-gotten gains through. He was on a BBC documentary a while ago about when he got kidnapped and forced to hand over said gains to some other unsavoury types.

I pacified a crying child with my yo-yo today.
The kid, like 2 or 3, was acting up in the lobby as I was coming back from a break, so i thought I'd try to earn some brownie points.
Did a few little tricks, then made my exit by walking the dog through the hall while waving.
To anyone in the next room, I probably seemed properly mental, but the girl's mother thanked me on the way out, and the main boss even noticed and applauded my efforts.
I am changing the world with this thing. I wonder how I'll make this miserably town brighter tomorrow.

But I thought the yo-yo was a broad magnet. Using it to pacify kids seems somehow dirty in a way that can't be explained, like fancying a CBeebies presenter*
*yes, I'm sure we've all done this
