I'm a newb here. I just made my first purchase recently and am now considering going into business.
I haven't seen any discussion on these pages about this method, but why not use a fake ID to get a bank account with which to cash out? Driver's licenses are sold on SR for like BTC20. It's been awhile since I opened my legit bank account, but I don't remember the process being very lengthy or intrusive. I know they run a ChexSystems check on you, which wouldn't return any results, but would that flag your ID as fake? I cant remember if they needed a #SSN - probably. Would a bank know if a (slightly less than) random SSN was phony? I know there is a geography/date numbering system for SSNs.
Thoughts? Or is everyone loathe to give away trade secrets? One guy on here was asking about how to cash out securely and the response was just "it would be stupid to give away our methods in public". I guess that's true to an extent, but there seems to be plenty of guidance about all other aspects of security available in this forum. I just feel like I haven't seen a 'standard operating procedure' for US$ withdrawal anywhere, and that's frustrating. Please help?
Thanks.
