Wed, 16 Nov 2005 I spent my morning laundering drug money. OK, not really. What I did was sold my Camaro to a guy from Louisiana who drove up with a flatbed and drove her off—after paying me in cash. I then went to the bank and deposited said cash, whereupon several forms were produced, identification checked, various documents stamped, identification rechecked, money counted, amount noted, surreptitious glances exchanged between clerk and manager, and finally I was given a deposit slip and sent on my merry way. That is without a doubt the largest amount of cash I have ever handled. All I can say is, transactions that "sanitize" the process (electronic banking, credit cards, &c) do not do proper justice to our great instrument of commerce—there's nothing quite like holding a fat stack of cash in your hands. I recommend you sell a car in cash some day—it's breathtaking. [ permalink | 2 comments ] |
