...They're cash businesses when you're cleaning cash - drugs, prostitution, etc

Do you think people are bringing briefcases of cash on the scale of that many millions to a nail salon?

There are other ways of cleaning bulk cash. Buying real estate in developing countries, for instance. I just thought that once the money is in the legit banking system, as it would have to be for a startup to accept it as funding, it's clean enough. I hadn't considered sanctions though.
