I've... er... ,that is, a 'friend' has recently come into a very large sum of used £20 and £50 notes (he's not sure how much because the Police havent - er that is, because he hasn't had time to count it).

I've suggested that he could 'clean up' the money by opening a national network of possibly the most successful dance nights (successful in a purely fiscal sense) the world has ever seen.

How would you launder 50 million quid?

Shoes and clothes, dance weekends/weeks/holidays + invite my friends, build a mobile dance venue and buy you loads of carrots!;)

Absolutely, especially when it is still wrapped up in the security company's wrapping!

Good tip: first take off your balaclava, remove the cash from the bag marked "loot", and ideally, remove the "Stolen from Tonbridge" labels - I know, call me boring, but better safe than sorry.

It's actually bloody difficult to launder money nowdays in the UK - you have to fill in vast amounts of forms etc., mainly from the anti-terrorist legislation. And you can't just wander into a casino and start playing games, even they've tightened up their act now.

Best bet is to take it to somewhere like Malta - but then you've still got to get it there; and now, because of dumbo bimbo woman, the police are well on your trail already...

And in fact, it's not even easy to spend the sequentially-numbered stuff either - first thing I'd do is burn that part of it, and use the rest. But I'd use it to help the poor, of course :innocent:

I've... er... ,that is, a 'friend' has recently come into a very large sum of used £20 and £50 notes They got £27m in the Northern Bank raid here just over a year ago. Presume it was mostly in Northern Bank notes because the bank just reprinted all their notes in a different colour, let the public know this was happening and after a certain date any notes the old colour were no longer accepted anywhere. I'm sure there were still ways round it, but it was a fairly big operation to do that so it must have been considered to be at least partly effective in preventing the thieves using the stolen cash.

Wow - that's darned clever! I'm impressed.

I think I'd sit on the money for a long time before spending it in dribs and drabs, so the above idea would stump me!

Trouble is, time is against you - you've got to launder the money, and do it pretty quick, so that when the police do find you (and for this size haul, they usually will), you don't have the loot hanging around - you've got to dispose of the evidence fairly quickly.

Probably start by dumping a large proportion - off a tall building in London on a very windy day.
