What if people start asking questions where you got the million dollars from? I've never understood how those presumably illegal markets can function with such large sums involved.


They're not illegal.


You are a security researcher. Your mind is trained to find and mitigate vulnerabilities. Including the vulnerabilities in finance / tax reporting.

You'll think of something. If you can hack one system, you can hack another.

$250k fully legally and with recognition is probably a good incentive not to bother. White hats have their privileges.


Money laundering, give the money to a shell company and have them report it as income. Obviously not that simple but that's the basic explanation.


That is why money laundering exists.


not if millions of dollars is bitcoin
