Default Buying Corvettes

Recently saw an ad on Marketplace, guy stated he has lots of money buying any condition Corvettes.
In SEC rules that would be a issue on possible money laundering. Not saying it is but bragging you have plenty of money to buy anything for cash would be a issue.

Default Cash

Article stated buying all Corvettes out there for cash.
I pay cash also but saying I have lots of cash is peculiar. Everyone can do want but the ad is now gone.

The ad got your attention. I think that’s the purpose of advertisements, whether true or not

I investigated plenty of money laundering cases over the years but I can't say that someone saying they have "lots of cash" would be an issue.

Now, if that person made cash deposits of $9999 a month for 3 months in a row, it would be a different story.

Buy lots of cars for cash then selling them to wash monies would be an issue, if this would be the case.

"Saying he has lots of cash" (your first point) is very different from actually buying lots of cars for cash and selling then while proving laundering. That at a minimum is a business that would be investigated or audited very quickly anyway.
