    Always wondered how the washing would work on a large scale like construction and others. So DK hands his dad say 10m of hard drug cash, then what? I think of it like the construction company now has a big pile of money that they then can’t bank due not being able to prove where it came from. Even if they used it to buy things they cant just hand over say 250k cash to another company for machinery for example because then that company has the same issue. Can someone enlighten me a bit?

    It’s easy enough with car garages etc you say a cars been in and had 2k of work done to it simple as but that’s okay for laundering maybe a few hundred grand over a year or something not DK or even LB style money with lots of zeros.

    Good programme on BBC maybe a year or so ago about how gangs used gold to launder it. They’d go to Antwerp with the cash to buy gold (at a rate), then bring the gold to Dubai (as much easier to carry than cash), then sell the gold on exchanges there. They’d issue notes and the money would go through a couple of banks

    They’d obviously lose percentages along the way but Dubai was seen as being the centre of it and it involved billions

    Anyone who thinks that watch is real is simple. A watch like that can’t be bought with cash in this country and comes with a waiting list of about 5 years. A skinny little child from Finglas wouldn’t have them type of legitimate connections.

    That watch is a fake as is all the gear these lads where, is as all the gear Garda pick up from brands like LV, Gucci etc

    What amazes me most about this thread is how posters hold the likes of flashy in such high regards. Do you think a big time dealer would be wearing fake clothes and watches?! Absolutely not.

    These lads are not big time, they just puppets. The big lads like Gill are the ones with the coin - they don’t flash it.

    The clothes they buy are real, canada goose jackets don't cost 10k they are making enough to buy them, but I agree the watch that was posted is fake

    If you walk into a shop with anything over 8k in cash and try to buy a watch they will ring the Guards. Unless GW has legit businesses then he's not going to be able to purchase something like that.

    You have to declare anything over 10k in cash at the airport.

    Most of the 'other lads' with 20k, 30k watches have legit businesses washing their money. I don't think Flashy has that although I may be wrong.

    He could easily buy it of someone that bought it with washed money:)

    It's still fake though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,201 ✭✭✭Man with broke phone


    He can pay people to wash money for him but there are plenty of scammers selling fake watches online. Id say its more likely he is trying to make a fake watch look real.

    Anyway its fairly pointless, he is public enemy number one will get plugged or seriousjailtime one day or another and all he has to show for it is some bling.

    You can spot new money a mile off and it wears watches like that. It shouts about how rich it is and gets taken to the cleaners by old money. He just wants to be accepted by the old money but doesnt understand its not about bragging its about quietly collecting more and more money and more and more power.

    Plenty of shops & businesses will take the 8k cash and more and not a word about or from the Guards. I lodged 35k cash into a family members credit union account last week, tumbled the whole lot out of a shaving bag onto the counter. No questions asked.

    It’s just nonsense.

    I don’t know how kids like that wearing fake jewellery are actually dictating going’s on.

    Who is he hiding from?

    Btw here is the fake watch.

    €200 replica of a €90,000 watch. Shipped from China.

    I think there is a few people moving into his area, he was fighting with a pile of ballymun kids publicly but he will probably wait until he get his back up crew back together or come back and deal for whoever is running things later.

    It looks to me, and Im not from the area like he is just sitting it out to see which way the wind is going to blow.

    If he did have anything to do with the Kilmore lads death it was said bigs kids pulled the trigger on the sanambar fella, that would link big to the kilmore father and his gang I suppose, thatd link big pushing into flashys patch in Finglas. Thatd link Flashy having to take a staycation out of the way in the sunny south east.

    For all I know he is doing a small time version of running to Dubai and is directing operations from his wexford base.

    Doesn't mean they didn't/won't notify the Revenue. That notification is likely automated. At the end of the month, they probably "push a button" to generate a report for revenue detailing all activity above the threshold. That will include multiple transactions (you can't simply hide it by doing 35 lodgements of 1k each)

    New money will buy the newest and most expensive phone model as soon as it is released.

    I really don't know if this is true. Shops are incredibly sceptical and quick to ring guards when buying a watch, because they are the big losers when the guards do their rounds and check for stolen merch. However a huge, and largely not discussed in the industry, segment of the market for high end watches are both blue and white collar criminals. Also, the second hand market on these watches are more active than the first hand one, it's often the only way to buy one. The idea that buying this watch is completely unattainable, not for monetary reasons, but for availability, to someone who can source a kilo of coke, to me is silly. The laws, rules and regulations, etc are set up to make purchasing that kilo a lot less easy than a high end watch, and yet we all know it happens daily.

    I collected watches, I’ve bought 20k watches with cash in the past and no one has said a thing. However, I am in my mid 30’s, I don’t wear tracksuits or talk like a pikey.

    If GW walked into weirs wearing a fake Canada goose jacket and purse around his neck, you can bet your bollocks eyebrows would be raised and they would request a deposit with full ID and ultimately follow up with the Garda.

    Don’t be under an illusion, high end jellewery stories will look into you.

    if you lodge more than E9, 999 in a bank account they should ask for proof of where it comes from and or a notification is sent to the Gardaí automatically

    Yeah I heard something about Roo who gets talked about a lot on here, apparently he got a Rolex worth something like €15-20k taken off him, went into Weirs a day or two later and bought a direct replacement for it. The shop handed over the CCTV to the guards who promptly took it off him.

    He has been in organised crime since he was a teen and didnt really have that much to show for it 15_20 years later when the police took everything off him.

    If he was in an honest job he could have easily been earning atleast 40-50 grand a year by now.

    Yep, I know people in Weirs from over the years, I’ve heard all sorts of whispers and stories along them lines.

    The thing with Rolex’s is there is 4-5 year waiting list on most new models, they have a solid customer base of celebrities (eg Conor McGregor) and other wealthy business people.

    They don’t like doing business with the likes of Roo. Very bad for image

    It saw the article MrMedium refers to above. It's a bit like the ship has sailed on that one. They have been taking bogie money for years - inadvertently I hasten to add. And not exclusively drug money. Plenty of 'White collar' sh1theads with moody cash dumped on Grafton St

    The place is gone wicked quiet on shooting and murders this year. Obv COVID has a massive part to play in that. Gonna be a statistic record for the Gardaí going back into the early 90’s i’d say if not further.

    Looks like the only thing she gained, was another massive article in the press calling out cancer, whistleblower could be anybody, and I doubt he, she or they will stop.

    Are you saying he has no intention of paying for it but the bank have given mr Flashy 80g limit on his credit card or are yiu saying therr is benefits to buying 80g watches at a 12 per cent a month interest rate?

    So hammer him now, before he becomes too big. Keep on top of him so that he's toxic to the main men. No-one wants to deal with someone drawing that much heat. Too much risk and potential loss.

    Probably still makes mid night visits to his little hole in the ground and lives will off it.

    Used to visit his little hole inthe ground every time he was on holiday in marbs.

    Tried to follow him a few times but he made sure i couldnt :-)
