You missed a zero.  That's 10,000 a week, or 1,400 a day, or 700 each per day, or one haircut per barber every 40s...

'acey', the barbers are overwhelmingly Kurdish these days. I'll ask my barber when I go in next. I've always wondered how they can make a profit when others cannot; I've not realised ML could be the objective.

What about car wash? Mine is a combination of Aghani, Kurdish and Iranian.

You'd think HMRC would welcome the chance to tax the criminals as they wash their ill-gotten gains.

You can never catch the organ grinders anyway only their monkeys , so might as well grab a slice of their action.

@impossible - hand car washes are the other obvious one.

You need:

- a business with no cost of sales (so all services, no or few goods that need to be bought and accounted for)
- predominantly cash business
- a casual and rapid-turnover workforce (so return of laundered cash after skimmage can be disguised as paying barbers/car-washers)
Report impossible123 April 17, 2025 5:17 PM BST
'longbridge', my car wash charges £12 (no interior). It takes about 10 mins max. If busy eg weekend and sunshine, there could be a long queue eg 20 mins until you'd get seen even with a two lane queue. This could mean £12 x 12 (6+6) = £144 per hour or £1440 per 10hr day or £10.08k per week. I think a dodgy one could easily claim or submit £50k per month or more citing bigger vehicles/interiors are charged more, etc, even during very quiet periods eg rainy days.

My Kurdish barber started off accepting cash and card. Now, it's only cash. The young boss (not seen there for over a year) drives a black Merc. His staff are entirely Kurdish and mainly relatives, very courteous and good at what they do.

"how much money you going to give back if you're declaring £150,000 a month ? "

Interesting thought.  If you're MLing £150k a month do you:

- declare it for tax, so it looks legit and is properly 'laundered'
- don't declare it for tax for fear of attracting attention?

I'm guessing the first, but I've never been in a position to have that choice to make...

My Syrian barber takes only cash - it is literally the only transaction I use physical money for.

I suppose it's possible he finds he convenient to be able to pay his staff in cash, like it's the 1950s and everyone gets a brown envelope of notes on Friday afternoon?
Report impossible123 April 18, 2025 2:51 PM BST
Cash is preferable with most barbers as there is no credit/debit card fee to pay. Conversely the English barber does not take cash, only card for security and convenience.
