From what I've heard the current way to clean cash is to buy gift cards and then use them to buy items from Amazon/Steam. Sure, the store fronts take a cut but having a 1099 from Valve looks way more legitimate than reporting thousands of dollars of cash.
- notdang 3y agoSo how do you clean them with this scheme? By registering a game on Steam or selling something on Amazon? Also made me think why in the country I live, in stores like 7Eleven you cannot pay with a credit card for gift cards, google pay cards, etc.
- Plasmoid 3y agoFrom what I understand the scheme works like this. Create a very basic "game" that technically meets Valve's requirements. As long as it runs well enough then it won't be blocked. Have people buy Steam gift cards with cash, then buy the games you have published. Valve takes 30% and you get a nice check with a verified source of funds from a legitimate company.
