You're not much of a thinker. Again, there are numerous ways to pay upfront. To skip billing and take payment in an untraceable manner, a la cash or say...diamonds...is the clearest sign of keeping something off the books for either tax evasion or something more exotic, like money laundering and, oh say, terrorism financing. I'm glad I educated you. Next time, if you don't know about something you shouldn't make such suggestions.

what's the difference between the small business owner that would rather get paid in cash, therefore untraceable, and the white-collar suit that dips on the side with money in offshore accounts, with the intent on being untraced?

What about it? I made a comment on paying in cash to a small business owner. I didn't comment on anything else, whether it's murder or large-scale tax evasion. But there are laws for legitimate offshore income and black market activities, and if there's something beyond that which bothers you I assume someone who likes talking philosophy is good for that discussion.

if you are sitting in a restaurant and notice that it is getting especially cold or the background music seems loud, chances are you or someone around you has been sitting at thier table for a very long time even though they are done with thier food. We would jack up the air or the music in a particular zone to try and get people to move on.

There are other reasons to give incentives to pay cash, such as not having to pay the percentage that credit companies take out of every transaction. In those cases, a cashier's check is as good as cash.

Hence why I posted about checks and other non-cash methods. But thanks for posting something completely useless and irrelevant.

Um, you really didn't touch on those reasons, you automatically assumed that small business owners are tax-evading losers. Thanks for being a dick, like you always are.

I discussed why someone would use cash as an untraceable method as opposed to several other upfront payment methods.

I didn't post something completely irrelevant like you did. Thanks for being so insulting. Your anger probably stems from talking your mouth off so often about things you know little about. Perhaps this is why you've had such unfortunate luck with the gentlemen in your life. Take care.

Pay with an online funds transfer and it's upfront. There are numerous ways to pay upfront that are trackable. Cash is not trackable. Contractors and small businesses stick to cash so that they can cheat on their taxes. It's not an issue of payment dates.

Rudey,

Someone pointed out that you could save 20% a certain way. You immediately sprang to tax fraud, and even when no one disputed that tax fraud was a possibility, just suggested other possibilities, you lapsed into insulting people.

How does this communication strategy work out for you generally?

What are you looking for here?
