he would have set up dozens of offshore accounts at different banks under different names and almost immediately wired the money (in odd amounts from $2000 to $9000) and then funneled to money from those to other accounts and then billed those fictitious companies for computer and consulting services (itemized for things like web pages and advertising), paid taxes on that income and shuttled it back to himself... but not all of it, leaving some doubt in investigators minds as to whether he was just a consultant or the crook.

He would have only netted about $300,000, but might have avoided prosecution.

Of course, to pull this off the original email directing Sedgwick County (the place of my birth) to pay the new bank account would have had to been untraceable (this is doable).
