Yeah, but many people have buried their money and later found it deteriorated beyond use. Make sure to use some good containers if you go that route :)

- sbaiddn 4y agoWhen you have their volumes of cash its impossible to launder it. They don't burry their cash because it makes sense to do so. They do it because it would be impossible to buy that much gold. Or much of anything, really. I wouldn't be surprised if, after expenses, the Treasury is the largest beneficiary of the drug trade through seignorage
