Laundering question, please tell me why, of it is, this is a bad idea

If I were to start streaming (on twitch for example) how suspicious would it be to donate to myself? Make fake/anonymous accounts to donate to myself? Then I could report it, pay taxes and have clean money?

Edit: this got way more comments than I anticipated. I won't actually be doing this, I was just curious how, if it could, it would work. Thanks to everyone who chimed in lol

Bro, just buy a car wash.

You could do that but you'd need proper OPSEC (VPN's, SSH, LOTS OF private proxies). One proxy per account.

Dude just print out your bitcoins and put them on a 90ยบ wash, don't forget to dry them out slowly or they'll shrink. Bitcoin laundering 101...

Or why not set up a gofundme, like legit, and have a few 'anonymous' people contribute? I believe the money on gofundme is tax free besides the site taking a small percentage.

There are legal limits to anonymous donations

Work a real job. Pay for everything with cash. Do not live out side you means. Buy some things with your debit still. The better your job the more you get to pocket while you use the cash for daily expendatures.

If you get a better job you make more. Get a great job... Stop your illegal shit

Do you have another job? Can you just save all your legal money and then live off the cash for groceries, etc?

If you did it with enough volume to be worthwhile, it'd probably get noticed in the stage where you funnel money into each fake twitch account or noticed by twitch themselves, if they monitor for it.

Donation based laundering can be a very good method in principle, but you have to be able to make very large numbers of convincing fake people to do it with electronic payments. It could better than anything if you solved that problem.

The idea would be fine exept that not just anyone can get a sub button and donations. Im pretty sure you need to be partnered with Twitch

You do not need assistance as you are clearly a MENSA candidate.
