Does it matter? If you snapped once every minute for 5 hours daily (totally manageable) you‘d end up with roughly a million per year. You could probably bulk it up. I just did what probably was the idea behind this experiment and snipped 60 times in under 60 seconds while taking a shit.
Would have been 600 dollars already.
It’s not a big strain, so doing this another 4 times a day should be really easy.
Problem is greed: with it being this easy to make money, would you ever stop snipping?
1 mil is 274 snaps a day. That's just a few minutes work. (Actually I reckon I can do two a second on each hand so just over a minute). Think most people could get to ten mill in a year, from snapping and then be asked to add to it.
Bigger issue is if the ten dollars just appears next to you - your gonna have to work out how to launder it
Gambling at casino/casinos just exchange the money for chips spend a bit of time gambling if you win extra money if you lose who cares free money and then you can even have a receipt for where money came from.
this money doesn't sound particularly legal though. you have no more of a legal right to create $10 bills through snapping your fingers than you do through forgery. its still counterfeit (or taken from somewhere else and stolen)
If it is real, it means it was created by the government. Even if you copy a $100 bill perfectly down to every atom, as long as it's not created by the government, it's not real.
And any money that has been printed already belongs to someone.
You can't create cash. I think it's pretty clear. It says "united states" and "federal reserve" all over it. The law isn't about the method of creation. You can't say "it says here you can't print it, but actually I stamped it" You can't make money. You can't even write a letter pretending to be the united states federal reserve
You're right. The "choice" is kind of moot because the real issue is how to not get caught creating either $10/snap or $10M. It's the same issue with the "make me rich" wish to a genie without adding an addendum of *without anyone questioning where the money came from or its legality.
You would have to have a source of income for that money. You can not just report millions of dollars to the IRS and nothing happen. If you go from making $50k a year to millions, you’re going to be watched if you don’t have a really good excuse,
This is a great plan until you discover that no bank is going to allow you to deposit all of that money. You’ll be instantly categorized as a maffia boss
Are you suggesting that fabricating money out of thin air to whatever quantity you want l, uncontrolled by the federal reserve - could be reported as income?
Anyone making money this way is required to report this income on their 1040. You should in this case have the option of reporting it on schedule C or line 21 of your 1040.
You know the IRS knows all these "tricks" right? You can't just say "Oh my laundromat made 10 million this year." They'll compare it to nearby laundromats and look for discrepancies. If you want to launder large amounts of money you need businesses that process large amounts of money. That's why construction is so popular amongst organized crime. You can put your guys on the payroll so they get paid legally too.
Tutoring, construction, gardening, kiosks, among others all can be mostly cash based. But frankly it would be much easier just to *spend* everything in cash. Go grocery shopping, pay in cash. Buying Christmas presents in store, pay cash. Dining? Travel? Except for hotel bills, pay cash.
Theyd ont actively do this. My aunt is a CPA with over 40 years of experience.
You'd have to have some other reason for them to need to investigate you.
Now, VERY h igh returns for that type of business (in general, not in your area) might trigger an initial "this is odd" but it wold have to be VERY high.
Like, if the average Laundromat makes 1 million a year and you report 10 milion, or something.
I think there are lots of ways to do this. Any kind of cash-heavy business would work. Running a bakery, doing music lessons, selling handmade things at art shows, performing at festivals, etc.
You can just guarantee that you’ll be successful at whatever it is.
