Chapter 197: Mi Lu the Chef
With the Butcher taking the lead, the others also chose to take 400,000 Ruble as settlement money...
400,000 Rubles is basically the equivalent of two years of their salary, not a small amount, but definitely not much compared to Mountain Eagle’s haul.
Nearly 10 million Rubles in cash looked quite a lot, owing to the various denominations of the bills.
However, Mountain Eagle preferred the $80,000 and €80,000 in cash, bundles of hundred-dollar bills that one could easily carry away, whether depositing them in banks in increments or taking them to Thailand, this money could easily be spent.
On the other hand, moving those 10 million Rubles into the financial system and then converting them legally into the currency he needed was somewhat troublesome!
But Mountain Eagle didn’t care, this money came free of cost and was not too much; even if he couldn’t spend it all in Russia, he could recharge it at the Weapon Bank, using the Weapon Bank for intermediary processes.
Of course, this money would eventually turn into weapons, and the Weapon Bank would cut from the top via transaction fees.
However, that’s what they do, and as long as you really need weapons, the transaction fees of the Weapon Bank are actually much cheaper than those at underground banks.
This is a typical money laundering scheme...
Many wealthy individuals overpay for top luxury goods and jewelry to bypass financial supervision and take these items out of the country, where someone else would take over, buy these items for a discounted price, and then bring them back into the country to sell again.
Comparatively, Weapon Bank chose specific customer groups and special payment methods.
