So… if I wanted to do a scam… and I’d sell tickets to a cruise ship for 3 years, upfront payment of $90k… let’s say I sell 2000 seats for $180mil.

Is that enough money to disappear forever and live under a false identity?

I am legally required to say no.

~~yes tho~~

Maybe, maybe not. But if you're paying back in monthly installments, there's still going to be a lot of interest for you to live off of in the meantime.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I’ll… pay it back. Promise.

Getting that money out of the company to use is very hard and can be traced/returned. It's not like they've got 180M in cash. And having your company bank exclusively with shady banks is likely to prevent you from getting a business license.

You should read up on off shore accounts. Things are wild.

Just to add, you're a cruise, it'd be expected you have an offshore account.
