40x deposits of $9,990 will set off more suspicious activity alerts than one deposit of of $393k.
The gift of a foreigner (challenge: prove that it is a foreigner) has reporting requirements described in https://www.irs.gov/businesses/gifts-from-foreign-person https://www.irs.gov/businesses/gifts-from-foreign-person
As this came from a sanctioned entity (Tornado Cash), then https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/office-of-foreign-assets-control-sanctions-programs-and-information https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/office-of-foreign-as... may be interested in it. https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/faqs/added/2022-09-13 https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/... covers more on what to do.
Trying to avoid this is likely to get someone in more trouble later.
- from 4y ago40 deposits of $9900 is a felony called structuring and is not what we are talking about here. Go to p2p.binance.com or Karachi or Dubai or Hong Kong and you will find an ecosystem of people who routinely buy and sell 7/8 figures worth of crypto for wire transfers and cash. I do think that by transacting with this ETH he would be violating 18 USC 1957 (Transacting in proceeds of specified unlawful activity) so he should either get an opinion from OFAC or return the money.
