^^^^ There are as many ways to clean money as there are to grow herb.

A coupe fav's:

- Small businesses with no inventory and difficult to pin down costs (such as a service industry)
- Construction. Buy materials with cash, build or improve a home, and sell. Wha-la! Clean, taxed money.
- A silk-screening business where you "go to shows and sell t-shirts". Let's see them track that one!

All in all, your own "legitimate" business is the best way to go. Who says you can't be the world's shittiest accountant?!? :D

First off what a dream setup, but like many have pointed out, the plants look like shit. they shoud have used generators and gone with with a KBS tree system. no matter what that op is insane, would love to have one myself. but i woulda don things a little different. none the less, what an awesome cave. sorry to see it go down.

i like your ideas Butte.

peace

The people who are the most successful are the ones who don't talk about it in open forums! :smile: But, all I have to say, necessity IS the mother of invention. :smoker:

I don't understand how people clean and hide large sums of cash. Not an insane amount, I'm not talking $500,000, but say you have $50,000 that you want clean and clear to buy a corvette. How do you go about it? These guys obviously had a plan. True, 100 pounds every 8 weeks is a worth a minimum of 200k(at 2k a pound), split that up + costs, rent, giving price breaks + partners, for arguments sake, say your looking at 50k for your 8 weeks of work. You want a bright red corvette, or black mercedes. How do you buy it? ...

so you want a bringht red corvette and you want to do it with herb money?.....well I don't know if thats the best way to go about things. I think in a harmonious way in terms of, my plant is my medicine, I grow it with these intentions and the high quality care I get in return is all I ask for. when you start to get into what these guys were doing....clearly sacrificing quality for quanity so they can get those bills. I personally don't think people in the general public are outraged when they find out a person is growing 3 or 4 plants. its grow ops that people get mad about, they see it as a blemish on there community. Sure, its illegal and someone has to produce for the masses, but like I said before, you can do that without stealing power and driving fancy jaguars.

peace all, stat safe.

Heck no.. I drive a leased mercedes and would never buy a chevy! I was just saying for hypothetical sake. You know, your sitting around smoking with your buds and you ponder things. I showed them this article regarding the cave under the house and we got talking about the money and how these guys would clean it to buy their "yachts". People do it, and get away with it, I was just wondering how the small timers do it....

:chin: you know for all the bashing of these guys big time grow op I've done I think I can say that it still totally is a bummer those dudes got popped with such a sick ass underground setup I wish I could have seen that cave in proper shape with those lights a little closer, some big fat colas, that cave had potential, and to whomever said it earlier, is it for SALE?

I hope :woohoo:

The things greed can do to a man. Anyone notice the old bill car park across the road?

edit- havent bothered to read the whole thread, but am i right in thinking these mugs tapped into the mains? Rather than splashing out on a generator?
People like that deserve to get caught

They stole electricity by tapping into the counties supply. With the kind of money they were making, or the kind of money they claimed to be making, you would think they could invest in an alternative power supply like a combo of wind and solar. Solar panels are getting cheaper and you could probably outfit the house for less then 40k? I dunno anyone ever price it?

I would assume the theft is probably what got them noticed and busted... Why don't people ever use common sense. They throw enough money at these gigantic projects. Put time, energy and thought into it, and don't take into account that if you steal from the city, they'll eventually wonder why the blocks grid's readings are off by a large amount. :weakestli

Ha, so many ways to clean money it's insane. How about a carwash business? People use those ones all the time. It's no easy to "make up customers" there ; )
