    This is your very first post on this site, and you come on here asking us to give you advice on money laundering. Why don't you go and join up somewhere else?

    What are you talking about? Money laundering is the act of masquerading income obtained from illicit activities as income obtained from legitimate activities. For example, a drug dealer might conceal his ill-gotten gains by starting up a restaurant and reporting his drug dealer income as restaurant revenue. This is all illegal.

    If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck! If you suspect that your work with Juicyads and Exoclick involves money laundering, then don't do it.

    Based on the OP's posts I suspect that the business laws in Egypt are very different to those in the "West". Money laundering is a serious crime here and if you have any doubts about the legality of your business I would be talking to a specialist Accountant or Lawyer rather than people on an internet forum because
    • you can't use our explanations in a court of law
    • we don't know Egypt's laws
    • you will get explanations in your first language which means you will have a better understanding of the information given

    You are right
    Egypt and Middle East see adult business in different way to West, also many people didn't understand internet marketing well
    This matter not up to the level of court of law, I thought that people work same my work is the best to give advice

    My dear
    The middle east is in exceptional circumstances and the government suspect of any dollars come from outside and I am working at adult ads this another problem

    So I hope you not take my question cynically

    I fully realize that Egypt is in a mess as tourism is in free fall. And yes, the government may well turn a blind eye to anything shady. But just because you can do it and get away with it, doesn't mean you should.

    This is the kind of thread that we get where the OP returns later and asks to have deleted after his/her family and community discover they're involved in adult sites and they need to whitewash their reputation.

    I stand by my recommendation that the OP talks to an Accountant or Lawyer.

    "You *need* something".. I get that but if you have to get into shady stuff in order to get the earnings, then it will come back to haunt you.
    You made an honest living in the tourism business and were able to hold your head high. Don't lower it now because times are tough. Good luck to you with all.

    Have you talked about your plans with your family? Is there anyone who will disapprove that you care about?
    I'm guessing you're a Muslim (but I could be wrong) - how does the adult industry fit with your spiritual beliefs?

    I think it is something not good at all, but instead why you are not looking for more money is really good, looks good to you later, trust me.

    Why don't you use your own due diligence and if you're still passionate about the adult space and it's not legal where you are from then relocate? Easier said than done if you have a family.

    Why should this be money laundering. You can simply let your local tax office know!

    Disobedient Muslim :)
    My dear Sarah I am worried of legal aspects, As for spiritual beliefs or family it is easy

    I am thinking about make an affiliate website for booking hotels with niche going to Sharm El-sheikh, you know the city?
    It is already done and verified with booking.com

    You mean relocate my country? It will not be easy and where I will to go

    It is not company, just website and some thing like you say will cause a big scandal for me

    By running a website and earning revenue from it you are getting income and your tax office will need that to be included in your tax return. You don't have to be a company to have tax obligations.

    What if the tax office ask him where i had got this money (source of money which he is going to invest in), he is in a trouble. As per my knowledge in all Arab countries even in INDIA, its illegal in law , if you host or distribute adult videos or image or any kind of piece you could be lead in trouble .

    Good thing he's not in India - he really needs to talk to his Accountant about the situation in Egypt.
