Can you buy gold nuggets from somebody under the table with dirty money. Then maybe rent out a mine and "find" gold?
Might the IRS or who ever make you prove that there is gold there?
Might they look into it?
Ive thought of that since I was a kid...

Funny you should mention this. I thought of this too. I'm sure there are WAY better ways to launder money though. The only problem I have with this method is, how are you going to find a gold dealer that will accept large amounts of cash regularly and not ask questions or answer them if pressed by authorities?
If you are talking about $10k worth to launder, don't bother, just deposit it in your bank account. As long as it is less than $10k, banks don't have to report it unless you give them cause to be supicious. My bank has cash counters in the ATM now where you can deposit 40 bills of whatever value you choose per day. I'd just do that if I wanted to do what you want to do.

If you do it, it would probably be a good idea to have some prospecting equipment on hand and some knowledge of how people actually do find gold in case the authorities come asking questions. You probably could find successful prospectors looking to liquidate some product under the table though, so they can evade some taxes. It could work.

I'm not sure how this works in all states, but you'd have to get the mineral rights to your property.
But why launder money, there are so many legal ways to make huge amounts of money:
- Selling art over the net.
- Selling soda at a huge markup at some local event.
- Massaging people.
- Buying crap and selling it as antiques on eBay
and the band ... played ... on ...

Yeah, 10k is not a lot to launder and there are a million ways to do it. Just invent a business and declare it as income. Pay your taxes and unca sammy is happy with that. It's expensive to rent a mine and they can do chemical analysis to show where it came from if they wanted to go that far.
In my case, my recently departed uncle al left me a bunch of gold coins. He was a generous fellow. So when I sell them, I simply declare the appreciation from the time I received them to the time I sold them. I pay taxes on that and no problems about where it came from. They can always dig up uncle al and ask him but he isn't talking much these days. Plus I pay no taxes on the value of the gift. Gift taxes are the responsibility of the giver, not the receiver.

Doesnt there have to be a will for the coins to be legally yours?
I was also worried about some kind of testes to the gold, or like an inspector in the mine you know?
Ive always wondered how someone could clean like 20-25-30k in order to start a small business. Then run that legally so that it could lead into other legit businesses?

"Doesnt there have to be a will for the coins to be legally yours?"
Nope, anyone can give anyone a gift. It's your word against nobody's so who they gonna believe? Even if they think you are lying, they have nothing to go on.
"Ive always wondered how someone could clean like 20-25-30k in order to start a small business. Then run that legally so that it could lead into other legit businesses?"
Forget the gold mine, just invent a cash business and declare it as income. Or get some gifts from uncle al, aunt betsy or that guy down the street who passed away.

I don't see why not. In gold producing areas there are a lot of locals panning and dredging, they would probably be happy to sell it at the standard price to someone with cash.
But there must be easier ways. Is it illegal to find a lot of money? What type of taxes would you be required to pay in that case?

if i had 10g's of dirty cash, i would just buy everyday things with it that I normally use my debit card for. Groceries, gas, movie tickets, etc. and continue to pay my bills and housepayment the same way i normally would. Sure, it would probably hang around for a while, but your spending it on necessities, and very slowly at that. But thats just how i would do it, if its safe or not I have no idea, but i don't see how spending around 500 of it a month on everyday shit is going to get back to you...

ya'll obviously aren't very familiar with how money and taxes work. Neither am I. Wish I was, that's how to get richer.
You earn money, then you are taxed, then you spend it. The corporation earns money, spends it, and then is taxed on what remains.
Someone touched on it in this thread. From what I understand...If you have 'dirty' money from whatever illegal dog fight drug deal pimp hoe grand theft auto shit you do... just MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LEGIT JOB. That's the most perfect way to hide any amount of money.
Taxation and earnings are a lot about how much you spend "on the books". In other words, mortgage, car insurance, cell phone bill, cable bill, whatever comes out of your bank account.
There's no law that says you have to spend a certain portion of your income on food or even rent really. What happens if you live with friends, don't pay rent, and they prepare all your meals? You start to save a lot of money.
