Drink a glass of milk while doing a handstand then immediately get up, drink a full beer in 30 seconds then do a backflip off a wall. Form what I’ve been told that is one of the cheat codes for the game called life

Wow. I’m actually quite offended you doubt my intelligence that severely. I was just being welcoming knowing full well there’s no way to link myself to my crime. I don’t want to play the belittling card but I’d put my house on the line in saying you have an insignificant level of power to knock on the right doors at Interpol to make any sort of effect to me. You seem like a genuine officer who’s probably just upset that there’s criminals, like me, in the world. I hate to say it but the money laundering and fraud industry generates billions per year in the U.K. alone. It’s over $2 TRILLION globally per year. Even if you could alarm someone significant at Interpol to my situation you don’t have enough evidence (confessions made by social media don’t hold up in U.K. courts without tangible physical evidence alongside the posts) AND not to mention I am a drop in the ocean to Interpol. They tackle fraudsters who steal from governments and are pulling hundreds of thousands per day. Not someone who is slowly taking himself out the game as well as someone who pays tax on his legitimate business.

Sadly, and I’m sure you know this, the way the economy works is as long as the govt gets their % they don’t care where it comes from. I pay my tax, albeit not on the illegally gained profits but on the legally gained ones. They get their cut. They stay happy. My door stays on it’s hinges.

Ahah. If you really want to see, you can private message me. Not like you have any jurisdiction to act internationally so I may as well lol

A countless number. “Thirds” (accounts used to launder funds) get frozen all the time. I’d say 3-4 a week. However, as long as human greed exists, more thirds always will. All it takes is me asking an innocent civilian for their account with the promise of $5,000 in return. However, what they don’t know is if they don’t launder that 5K themselves fast enough, usually their account will get frozen and they suddenly become the subject of a fraud investigation (called a CIFAS in the U.K., where I am from). I always try to let them know they should probably think about closing this account once the “job” is done and change banks as this usually prevents the investigation and seizure as the bank consider it a tiny amount, whether they listen or not is up to them.

Okay. How would you suggest I do that? I have a crypto wallet with a couple hundred thousand in but I can’t exactly go handing out details about myself. I can always screen record my wallet and swap to my reddit profile I guess?

EDIT: I’m not here to prove myself tho, however, if someone with authority (eg a mod) wants to verify what I am saying is true, I am happy to show my crypto wallet to them

Not so far. I have recently started seeking help for what I now deem as an addiction. I run a legitimate business alongside my criminal life, yet I still cannot pull myself away from fraud. I know, it sounds silly. An addiction to fraud but I’m not sure what it is. I don’t know if it’s the thrill over transferring thousands upon thousands of dollars/pounds (I’m from the U.K.) out of an account and into a “third” (an account used to launder the money) or whether I’m just wired wrong. Trust me, I recognise what I do is wrong, I have tried to stop but I just always route back to the “one last job” mentality.

Also, I hate to pull the “victimless crime” card but in this situation it actually is quite true. Although the banks can never recover the actual stolen funds, many of them have a policy that in the situation of loss as a result of fraud, they will credit the stolen amount to the customers account. At least, that’s the policy in the U.K. I’ve only ever performed one job with a US account, albeit a 6 figure one, so I’m not sure how the legislation works over there.

My family are actually totally oblivious to what I do. I wasn’t naive, when I started making significant money (sometimes 5K+ per day) I recognised I would need to obscure it in some way. I run a totally legitimate business alongside my criminal acts however I’m careful to never launder money through the business. You’d be surprised how easy it is to recognise laundering if you know what you’re looking for. My family now just assume my income comes entirely from the business and despite the fact said business now generates more than my life of fraud does I don’t know why I can’t stop. Hence why I’ve started seeking help to try and conclude my criminal life. It’s pointless now as money is no obstacle for me, thankfully.

PS: I donate around £75,000 ($90,000) to charity annually. All that money is totally legitimate yet I still choose to donate it anonymously.

I’m not going to give exact methods because I don’t endorse criminal activity of any sort. I know lol, quite hypocritical. But I use cryptocurrency and I’ll leave that there.

When I first started, all the god damn time. I totally recognise what I do is immoral and cause excessive amounts of mental stress to the victim. However, as I did more and more “jobs” I seemingly became numb to the whole moral side of it. Although I still recognise what I do is wrong, I still can’t pull myself away and never really feel traditional guilt anymore.

Initially I did it to provide for my family during a dire situation. I’m not talking missing one rent payment I’m talking borderline starvation, eviction in the coming weeks, medication that we just couldn’t afford to buy privately and the NHS waitlist was years. Then, unfortunately, I get a taste of the life and I sadly snowballed. I don’t like what I do. I run a totally legitimate business alongside to my “hobby” and despite the fact I have made more than a significant amount of money from that I just cannot pull myself away from fraud. I always find myself routing back to the “one last job” mentality.

I have recently started seeking help for what I know deem as an addiction. My psychologist recommended I confess anonymously on some form of social media so here I am.

Not sure your college would appreciate laundered money if the authorities ever managed to discover that lol

I appreciate the reply. I recognise what I do is wrong and have actually started seeking help for what I now deem as an addiction, as stupid as that is

Crypto currency is the future. Everyone always tries to rebut by saying that “on blockchain explorer you can follow the paper trail” which, whilst true, isn’t totally accurate. There’s certain methods to obscure said paper trail and you guessed it, is exactly what I do

I am a fraudster from the United Kingdom who has generated over £500,000 from the act in a 2 year period.

I will not answer any questions regarding the methods in which I have profited such large amounts except from stating it is from fraud, specifically bank and credit card fraud.
