    I mean, the rich drug dealers you know are rich from dealing, aren’t the ones to have that lifestyle long term.

    The sensible and rich drug dealers are the ones you wouldn’t know about. Quite a few of them are landlords here in the UK (I can’t provide numbers, just a what I know thing so I won’t be offended if no one believes it - these are just my ramblings, officer).
    Basically just sensible ways to turn black market income into seemingly legitimate income, through either self-employed businesses or other means.

    They’ll have seemingly regular jobs, and will do their best to appear legitimate to not raise any red flags. You’d be very surprised at who the most successful drug dealers are, however chances are you’ll never know as well.

      I’ve known some folk. From weed to cocaine.
      They absolutely do this.

      Independent contracting, roofing, concrete, etc. Oh. And farmers. Lots and lots of farmers. Easy to wash money.

      They have the best/shadiest lawyers who absolutely know what’s going on. They are paid very well.

      They live fairly modestly. Dress smart, not flashy. They don’t show off or draw attention.

      They’re smart.

      They don’t fuck around.
