live $$$ in Vegas

[raconteur]

Hi,
I'm arriving in Vegas on the 11th with pretty much enough cash for a cab to my hotel. I would like to trade $25k online money on either fulltilt or pokerstars for the same amount in cash. I'm willing to pay 2pc juice, PM me if you can be of help.
By the way, its possible that your regulations have changed and that this post somehow contravenes them. All I can say is that it didnt last year when I made a similar request, so please no barrage of replies suggesting the post be deleted, or I be banned or butchered.

Regards,
Richard

I'm just gonna tell you you're going to have one hell of a rough time finding someone to do this for you. Taxes, etc.

I hadn't thought of the tax angle actually. I guess a thread where I'm asking for a favour is the wrong place to gloat that we don't pay tax on gambling winnings, but I can't stop myself...
I guess my ideal situation is someone who has had a big tournament score and feels like spinning some of it up online. I should add that anyone who puts me in touch with such a person leading to a successful trade can also collect on the 2pc juice offer. I can offer partial reassurance on the tax angle in that I will obviously want to trade back to online money at the end of the Series, so under the assumption that I don't go broke, the transactions will cancel each other out.

Regards,
Richard

I'm trying to help Richard out, but won't be back in Vegas by the time he needs funds.

Anyone have an idea how to get a large amount cash to him in a day? Amount might be too much for Western Union.

I could wire it anywhere but he doesn't have a US bank account. I've got credit at a number of casinos in town-- Has anyone ever drawn a marker over the phone for pickup by soneone else?

Suggestions welcome.

Yeah, the tax angle pretty much makes doing this impossible for a U.S. citizen. Basically, you're asking us to pay taxes on $25K that we(if we're honest) have already paid taxes on. Thats a ton of money!

Admo -
Get a paper back book and put one $100 bill between each page then gift wrap it. Drop it in a an overnight Fedex envelope or box or send it via USPS express overnight mail for $15.

If you hollow out the book, it may have enough room for the cash, but that is a lot of cash to be leafing in a book.

Yeah it is, but i've done it a couple times with a 100% success rate. Leafing is fine if it's a big paper back, bu don't forget to giftwrap it as an insurance policy. Use fedex, put i in the box they professionally rush it to the person.

Tax nightmare for US citzens, from (unfortunate)personal experience.

So you want me to help you launder money, and in return I get to pay taxes on it at the highest marginal rate.

Sounds pretty good, but what's the catch?
