so hypothetical...
. your a. ..hmm.. drug lord..
you have made 200 million..
but now you're scared the authorities are going to come and get you... and when they do they're going to take it all away...... it's a fact..
... all offshore accounts... so..
. you take $10,000,000..
. where would you hide it..
. you can turn it into anything.. gold diamonds whatever..... but it can't be an asset the authorities can confiscate...

.. I would buy diamonds..
. take them to my National Park..
. and bury them at the bottom of a lake somewhere.... so when I got out of prison I will at least have that money there....lol..... you're going to jail for 20 years ..ok.. a lot changes in 20 years.... keep that in mind...

I like your thoughts, but even in a lake after 20 years it would still shift to another location, either that be 2 feet sideways or 80 feet away. I would still figure it would move somehwere. I think I would try gold and bury it in a safe at a relatives place without his knowing of course. But someone's land that they have had at least 10+ years.

You never know though, land is always moving especially under the water it's still to certain degrees, but over a 20 year span i would figure it would move at least a little bit. And yea that's true it is, I'll just have to make it more then one trip is all haha

What would you buy American gold? After the stroke they tried to pull against China, with the gold covered tungsten bars, to cover their debt to them? Ha ha. Tungsten, is almost the same density as gold, to 3 decimal places. The gold had a serial no. on it that traced it back to Fort Knox . The diamond market isn't so good either, because Debeers, etc, decide to hold back a lot of their diamonds to keep the market price high, when in fact they could flood the market with diamonds really.

I'm pretty sure diamonds aren't going to lose their value over 20 years..
... perhaps a few dollars on the carrot.
. but given I have 10 million..
in diamonds I'm sure I can afford to lose a few dollars..lol...

I'm guessing that when your a drug lord, you will know people who know people who know someone who can make 10 mil disappear into some account somewhere...
Otherwise diamonds aren't a bad choice. At least you can hump it around a he|| of a lot easier than gold.

But ... 'off the carrot'?? LOL you telling me that is proper usage of the language?

Hmmzz.. that reminds me of this one church I was in last year... I don't have problems in churches, but there was something in there that wanted me gone. And the feeling was so strong, made me feel sick, I left rather quick, lol. But I was rather taken aback, a church is supposed to be holy ground, right? Weird chit...

So I wouldn't hide my goodies there either...

Relatives grave site..... you could go decorate it and in the process dig down far enough to hid what ever you decided to turn the money into just have to make sure that time and weather would not bother the container it was in...

I mean really who would think to look there and the grave is not going anywhere... whoa

Or have a headstone made that was hollow to hide it in... and give them a new head stone.. :smile:

I would ignore the hypothesis because it isn't reality! I have a moral code of ethics which is my standard, threat or no threat! Scenarios far removed from reality are somewhat psychotic sounding IMHO ! A venture outside the real world may send you to places you've never been, and to places you may not wish to ever visit again! Lol
