Dark money

About troubles with money-laundering for Darknet

The problem of storing, laundering and declaring money for the darknet was always relevant, but now it is getting even sharper. In recent years, the state has adopted several laws that increase control over funds. It even went so far as to allow the tax authorities to request bank statements on the movement of funds on the ordinary person’s card.

 Problem

 The main goal of this campaign is to collect as much budget revenue as possible. It will all be realized by collecting taxes on everything that is possible. Everything goes to the fact that you have to report for every penny and prove that you do not have to pay taxes from it. Did not prove - paid deductions.

 This is a small drama for a web designer or a programmer who previously worked on freelancing and did not pay anything to the budget, but they will normally be able to declare income, explain where the money is and sleep well.

 With money from the darknet is not so simple. The amounts earned here are many times higher, and this may cause additional interest from the tax authorities if you try to transfer funds as payment for some kind of freelance order. It is impossible to say that this is money from hacking the site, the tax will not understand you. Today I will tell you what is better not to do with money, the origin of which you are not ready to explain.

 To begin, we will meet with the enemies in person - this is the law on money laundering and the laws governing the activities of self-employed citizens.

 Recently, the movement around them has intensified, although the basic laws that complicate life for people were adopted several years ago. The term "money laundering" is the process of transferring from the shadow economy to the official one.

 That is, you have some amount that may lie on the account of an offshore company, be in bitcoin or just be in your hands, but the state does not know anything about it. Money laundering allows you to legally (or lawfully) transfer money to your account in order to dispose of it. Many people bypass taxes or appropriate money as a result of illegal activities.

 Prior to this, the struggle was conducted only at high levels, the tax authorities were interested only in large movements of companies' funds, but now there are legal mechanisms to turn over the accounts of ordinary citizens. Yes, yes, not entrepreneurs or business owners. Tax can now request from the bank data on the open accounts of any person, the balance on them and the history of operations.

 Covering all this is a struggle with the self-employed. That is, they are interested in people who conduct business, but in no way declare it.

 How to protect yourself?

 While we are still not completely under the hood, and according to the law, in order for the tax service to obtain this data, it needs to start checking on the person. There is no automatic analysis of all banking transactions. Not yet. But be sure that over time all movements on the cards will become in full view. And to start checking valid reasons is not necessary. That is, now any suspicious activity can be a reason to check.

 What can be called suspicious: the purchase of an expensive car or housing, if the amounts do not correspond to the official earnings (as you understand, this is practically about every person in Russia).

 You can also invite 25% of the population of the country to the tax office, so that they explain how they manage to survive on wages, otherwise they will be shot.

 As the control over the cards has increased, the first thing that cannot be done now is to throw all the money from the shadow activity into a bank account. Hardly, his first check in 2 accounts, I warned. For storage, the good old cash is used, and for a small amount, which is still drawn through the card, there must be its own history (for example, it can be said that this is earnings from freelancing).

 If the amounts are small, but the tax is still interested, then such an excuse will do. As a penalty for violation, a part of the amount for tax evasion will be withheld, and this will end the question. Or it can be said that this money is a gift, a return of a debt or help from parents, such receipts are not taxable.It is very important how often the money is injected into the card. If there are no systematic credits in the credits, then there is nothing to complain about, and vice versa, if 90-100 thousand regularly come to the card every month, this will attract increased attention. It is necessary to minimize the amount of money that passes through the card.

 It is better to replenish less often, but in larger amounts than a little, but regularly.

 For large spending money must necessarily be legalized. If you have 0 bank accounts and the work is only nominal, but you suddenly buy a good apartment, then be prepared that soon you will meet with the tax inspector. You can legalize money in several ways. The most popular is the withdrawal through an offshore company. Recently, they are beginning to struggle with them, but there are still working schemes. In the darknet there are people who specialize in the withdrawal of funds.

 If a decent amount has gathered, it is better to entrust the conclusion to people who specialize in this.

 The situation is simpler in Europe, there are also struggling with money laundering, but the amounts that interest the state are lower, and the main verification methods are much more loyal. If in Europe gulnut $ 10.000 for a couple of days, it will not result in checks.

 The safest thing is to continue accumulating funds in the cryptocurrency, if you have set up everything normally, then no verification will get to it. But remember that the crypt to pay for their purchases in the real world is impossible. There are intricate schemes that will allow anonymously pay, but bitcoin is far from being as anonymous as we used to think about it. One transfer is not there, and the funds of the whole wallet with its history can be attributed to you.

 In the world of crypts, Bitcoin is one of the most transparent currencies.

 I will not describe in detail the schemes for crypting, but I will tell one interesting fact: there are cryptocurrencies with a closed history, in such networks data about senders, recipients and amounts of transfers are not available for public viewing. Using such coins, you can break funds into additional wallets. But even so, I do not recommend openly spending a crypt in Russia.

 Most likely you know what mixers are. For those who do not know, these are services for entangling a crypt. They are often used to launder currency. So, there was already no case when it ended badly and there were even arrests. All because people did not fully understand how it all worked, and security in the darknet is a subtle thing.

 Conclusion

 My advice, do not make a purchase from yourself for a crypt in general, now the presence of cryptocurrency is a red rag for tax authorities (and not only in Russia). Even if they do not rush in with searches, they’ll put it on the unspoken black list for sure. For small amounts, withdraw funds according to intricate schemes, and it is better to trust someone to cash out and legalize large amounts.
