I really don't know how any of these malls survive in 2025 lol.

People still go to the mall in some cities. Not every city but there are places where the mall is packed on weekends. I laugh cause I see people from my hometown or smaller towns saying malls are dead.. nah YOUR mall is dead. There are still popping malls out here.

Cash businesses launder money.

Commercial units are loss write offs for taxes.

How about the cell phone repair stores? That shyt is so obvious.

no, there's big money in cellphone repair especially with shops with techs that can solder but some of the cellphone stores that just sell plans and phones might be fronts.

thats why apple is tried to get rid of third party parts so they could capture the market for themselves.

Well,

Here's what I'm struggling to understand.
You would be money laundering cash for the most part.

A place like a mattress store seems like a money laundering operation until you think ....who the hell is paying $1,000+ in cash for a mattress? Probably nobody. And if you're laundering drug money, do you realize how much money that is? How much money that is in mattresses? It would raise the biggest of red flags if a Sealy store did 30 million in sales in a year.

That's the thing about it. Even if some cheap jewelry store in a mall WAS a laundering operation, you might need thousands of such stores to launder that kind of money. And you don't think the cops are gonna notice Jeanie's Seashell Bracelets store suddenly deposting $100,000 in a month? Come on man.

The money laundering is happening at casinos, if anything.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but very few businesses in America deal in high levels of cash these days. And these small nickel and dime stores that barely make ends meet wouldn't pass even the most basic scrutiny if they were suddenly flush with cash.

That's not exactly how it works, money laundering is nothing more than turning dirty money into clean money.

Let's say, for example, they open a business, and even if it doesn't make a profit you still can sell it to another company/person/group legally.

Acquiring assets and making investments are the true source of wealth that drives the money of mafias and cartels.
