So I've just woken up having had a really vivid dream.

I am was staying in a small hotel in a ittle coastal town in America like the one in jaws.

I go upstairs and I find a beautiful woman messing around with a cash machine. She's attaching some kind of rachet to the bit the card goes in. Then she tightens it and the bit the card goes in comes out nice and cleanly. Oddly then she is able to withdraw money without needing a card or PIN number.

She then gives me a wad of nice new notes and asks me to help get more out. You can only input 5 digits so I stupidly put in 10,000 USD then I realise I can put in. 99,999 USD so we sit there filling our pockets with these 99,999 wads of new dollars.

Then the manager of the hotel appears, a nice old man and we start giving him some money. Eventually other guests turn up and they all seem great so we just show them how to get cash out and then I keep lookout.

Eventually people seem to have had enough and they feel a bit guilty, so they bugger off. I then go back and get some more money out and empty the machine.

Somehow, me and the hot thief woman are now possibly a couple and we're planning what to do next as loads of people have heard about the hotel guests suddenly having loads of cash and I notice it's all new and must be easily traceable. We decide to tell people we've won the lottery but are vague about how much and which lottery. Then it seems me and the hot woman are married with children (she might have been my wife all along, I'm not sure) and we're planning how to spend the money without getting caught.

I then wake up to a delivery and its Mother's Day and my daughter comes in asking if we should give mum her flowers.

Should I tell my wife about this dream?

What would you tell people if you suddenly got hold off around a million dollars in easily traceable cash and how is best to launder the money?

Four little words. Fixed odds betting terminals. Latest of many such incidents linked below.

And those friendly bookies are even launching a lobbying campaign to prolong the situation so no need to rush.

But at the end you'll end up addicted to FOBTs, the details about how easily people become addicted is astonishing!

Penniless and pitiful!

You should probably lay off sating cheese at night firstly but if it was just a million I'd tell no-one and keep it in a safe and just spend it as I need to. No need to launder it.

If it's stolen traceable money putting it into a bank would be daft as it will flag up.

I used to work in a factory that produced banknotes, so predictably this made up the majority of workplace banter. biggrin

The general consensus was that you would check the internet for the money laundering guidelines for the country you were in, and then assuming that the cash machine had not been noticed to have been robbed you would go to the second biggest city in the country armed with a good disguise and a list of every bureau de change in the city and change the money into dollars or euros at each place, making sure to stick under the money laundering limit. Once you've done that you can stuff the cash under your mattress and drip feed it a few thousand at a time back into the local currency.

No, lets just keep it between you and the worldwide internet. She will never find out.

Oh Christ you don't endure the godforsaken places yourself, just employ a dozen smurfs at a grand a pop and they end up glued to the damn things all day.
