My boss approached me to tell me that they needed 3 people they trust to support them with a tax strategy and a new payment scheme.
To make a long story short, I’m a manager, and I’m paid ~6,000 per month on the payroll and ~3,000 in cash per month.
The issue is that they never pay me the cash on time, and this clever person came to tell me that they had a solution to ensure I get paid on time.
He told me there was a “scheme” for people who “didn’t want to deal with accounting,” and that like them, who have 5 million in cash that they urgently need to move, they proposed that I enter a program whose name I honestly don’t remember. Under this program, ~46,000 would be deposited into my account weekly, and I would only have to pay 5% in taxes (which they would cover). they suggested that every month, I would keep my 9,000, and we would use the rest from my account to pay for expenses.
I told them I needed to consult with my accountant because I didn’t quite understand, and they said I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING, that his accountant (who, by the way, despises me because of what I earn, hahaha) would handle everything. they also mentioned that they already had the other two people on board (one from janitorial and the other from maintenance, whom they trust a lot because they’ve been working with them for 20 years). I’m not sure if I should feel offended because they are putting me in the same trusted category as them or if they think we’re all equally submissive idiots, hahahahaha.
What should I do?!
Sounds like tax evasion and you WILL get caught
I’m not sure I understand what they’re proposing, but it sounds sketchy as fuck. Why would it need to be people they trust? What are they afraid of?
Given no other information, I would say absolutely not. Consult with your accountant if you can, and do not trust a word they say until you’ve cleared it with a professional.
So your being asked to launder money? Evade taxes definitely. I would say no, that’s just too much money to be caught handling; and you don’t know what else is involved on the other end with that cash. I obviously don’t really grasp the situation, but I know enough to know that’s a bad idea.
My boss, the genius that they are, approached me with a brilliant idea. They want to deposit a whopping 5 million of cash into my account every week. 🤑 All I have to do is participate in a little tax strategy and payment scheme. And guess what? They’ll even cover the 5% taxes! How thoughtful! 😏
But here’s the kicker, they can’t even pay me my regular cash salary on time. Yet, they expect me to trust them with millions? 🙄 Oh, and let’s not forget the little detail that they conveniently forgot the name of this magical program. Classic! 😂
Honestly, I can’t wait to see what other brilliant plans they come up with. Maybe next time they’ll offer me a bridge in Brooklyn too! 🌉💼
Oh, and here’s a bonus fact - did you know that the mafia in 1930s Chicago made more money from illegal activities than all the other businesses combined? It’s always good to have goals, right? 😉🔫
Te van a usar para lavar el dinero y todavia tienes duda?
