using stars to move money

[dark_horse]

i have close business associate/friend in europe who i trust completely. i have $4500 sitting in neteller limbo. i am planning on having him open a new neteller account, certify it, then i'm transferring the money to him.

he could simply do an EFT to his own bank account and send me the money, or..

if i have him open a new stars account (he doesn't play poker) and deposit my money with his neteller account into stars, he could transfer me the funds to my stars account, and i could in turn have stars cut me a check.

would stars really go for this? sounds like money laundering to me. i love how my government is making me feel like a criminal.
