OTOH, bitcoin goes to a bank account...how to explain that shit?
Again, US banking for criminal activities isn't a great idea. This becomes even more true if you were expecting your customer to obfuscate the blockchains for you.
One "simple" way to disguise this is the receive your payment in BC, then tumble them, then transfer to ANOTHER crypto currency (ether or whatever) entirely, tumble, convert to another currency possibly a third time, then cash out. Involving 2 or more separate blockchains makes traces almost impossible. But you CAN'T rely on the customer having done ANY obfuscation n their end. It is ALL on you.
Cashing out directly from the wallet receiving payments would be dumb as fuck in the USA.
$90k per year isn't bad by any means but would be honestly very difficult as a one man show. See how much tim and effort goesinto just answering customer questions from one single forum thread (PPL or PC are good examples). Criminal or no, people in the USA expect Amazon-like service pretty much all the time. This is why the ring always expands.
Also I would consult your earlier statement about "hitting a number and getting out". Contemplating staying in the game for a year or longer isn't a quick hit and exponentially raises the risk levels.
There were sources here who tried keeping tings very small scale that were quickly overwhelmed. The smart ones went "private" and limited their customers to a small group they "trusted" (which still isn't all that smart).
The dumb ones crashed and burned, bolting with the money....
The others just closed up shop or got out of the USA and went much bigger.
