Chapter 4. Aftermath. From heist to Mai Ties on the Beach. Aftermath. It's something that we've learned

doing our podcast over years is one of the hardest parts of all heists. Real technical stuff. This is how

you always get busted. So let's talk about the many methods, experts of use to cover their tracks

and launder their money to get away and get on that

beach. The first thing is it's like a breakup. You pull out the heist. Now you got to, you've broken up with the heist. You've broken. You've got to keep, you got to cool things down. You got to chill out. You got to separate yourself. Take a knee. Take a breather. Take a breather. Slow down. Let the cops cool down.

They're hot.

They're hot for you right now.

Let them chill out.

Everyone's the cops cool down. They're hot. They're hot for you right now. Let them chill out. Everyone's the paper's talking about you. Everyone's hot and heavy for you. So you get the first thing you got to do. Just chill out, man. Just take it easy. Don't worry about what you stole. Don't touch it yet. Don't be flashy. Don't celebrate. Don't buy a speedboat. Just hold off and take a beat. Yeah. It wouldn't

hurt to get out of town. You might want to leave town. Might want to leave town. So just like Matt said,

you're going to want to sit on your money for a while, maybe a year, maybe longer than a year.

But a while, not like wait till the end of the week sort of thing. Like these investigations

while they're open, they're waiting for you to do something stupid with your money. So find a nice secure place to hide it. Burry it if you can. That's always a great option. Sync it. Sync it's always a good one. Sink it. You know, somewhere you know that no one will be looking for it. And if possible, a place you have control over it, do you got a buddy? Well, not even a buddy. Do you have a farm with a few acres? Hide it under a tree in there, something like that. You could rent a storage unit, maybe in another state. Buy a cheap lot of land in the middle of nowhere that doesn't raise suspicion, you know?

When we said, get out of town, don't head for a quiet town. Why? People notice people who show up in a quiet town.

Who's this city slicker coming in? Who's this city slicker just showed up? He's not talking to people.

Hide in the big city. The bigger, the better. Create a reason for why you're moving there. Maybe apply to a job, become an Uber driver. Just fit into the big city like you have a reason to be there. And after a while, it's time to turn your dirty goods into legit cash. There's only really one way to do that these days. You got to launder your money, Matt. It's a big topic. We're going to

talk about money laundering. There's so many different aspects of it. So we want to boil it down,

make it just like find the really good tibits and kind of explain it and kind of find different methods of how people do it and how people get caught. You might be kind of bummed because you pull this high so you might want to go buy a Lamborghini

Kuntash with straight cash at the Kuntash

deal or throw a huge rager

you know hard rock cafe in Vegas

go nuts. Weird choice, but yeah. Everyone loves that place. Actually, I don't think it's even there anymore. But the thing is, back in the day, you could kind of do that. There was kind of ability to way back where you could kind of have a party and no one was watching. it probably predates the hard rock cafe's existence probably yeah or hard rock brand of all yeah maybe even rock and roll that's true but one of the big reasons you can't do that especially in the united states if you're angry at this you got one person to blame, and that's Mabel Walker.
