CS2 is a large money laundering scheme

[shrimp]

Hello guys !!!

I want to share with you my thoughts that i had for a while . CS2 is good for people who want to avoid taxes and louder money in skins , glovs etc. I think FBI should investigate this game . What do you think ?

(Chatgpt) This guy’s theory is so wrong it could be a DLC for a conspiracy simulator. CS2 is primarily a game, not some back-alley tax haven. While skins and items can hold value, they are part of the legitimate gaming economy (trading, selling, etc.) and are regulated by platforms like Steam. Suggesting the FBI should investigate is like asking NASA to investigate why you lose in matchmaking.

For money laundering to work, you need a way to "WASH" the money BEFORE making vast payments to a corporation.

Example:

you have 1 million usd from illegal activities.

IF you use that money to BUY skins in CS2, that transaction is done via at least 1 bank, and via 1 payment processor.
Congrats, now you have 2 institutions running trace on your money.

This is why you can't use CS2 for money laundering.

All you can do is transfer money from POCKET 1 to POCKET 2 and avoid some taxes, but those transactions are done via the banking system.

Valve already knew about i and that's the main reason why case keys are no longer marketable/tradable.

Key Change
2019.10.28 -

Starting today, CS:GO container keys purchased in-game can no longer leave the purchasing account. That is, they cannot be sold on the Steam Community Market or traded. Pre-existing CS:GO container keys are unaffected–those keys can still be sold on the Steam Community Market and traded.

Why make this change? In the past, most key trades we observed were between legitimate customers. However, worldwide fraud networks have recently shifted to using CS:GO keys to liquidate their gains. At this point, nearly all key purchases that end up being traded or sold on the marketplace are believed to be fraud-sourced. As a result we have decided that newly purchased keys will not be tradeable or marketable.

For the vast majority of CS:GO users who buy keys to open containers, nothing changes; keys can still be purchased to open containers in their inventory. They simply can no longer be traded or transacted on the Steam Community Market.

Unfortunately this change will impact some legitimate users, but combating fraud is something we continue to prioritize across Steam and our products.

If you have feedback or concerns about this change feel free to email us at CSGOTeamFeedback [at] valvesoftware.com with the subject “Key Restriction”.

Just because you watched Breaking Bad or Ozark doesn't mean you're suddenly a money laundering expert, boy.
