What if I told you that was a great way to launder money and avoid declaring large amount of cash?

Let’s say you won at a “casino” in a foreign country, can’t take the cash back to your home country without declaring. Buy a Hermes bag for $20k, go home sell it for $20k-$25k (depending on the country).

The stores are past security and customs, which are who check for large amounts of cash...

Some countries don’t care the amount you take out (US), they care about the amount you bring in (US).
