Oh yeah, and how exactly do you imagine this going ?

You're going to ask to see a cartel boss and tell him you have $10B in untraceable money, and you need a small army - you're willing to pay 1,000 men - $100,000 for the next 10 years ? They will most probably start to torture you to know where the money is, before you finish these words.

That's a fun mental exercise btw - imagine you have $1B now - let's say illegal money you need to keep. How do you proceed ?

Pay cash for a field of shit land in the sticks, start purchasing hundreds of totaled cars (also with cash), remove or ruin engine/tires/seats/things of value, place the cars in the field, place the money inside the cars, and throw up a fence with no trespassing signs on it.
