Reply to comment by waveball03 in 'Tulsa King' Premiere Review: Stallone Rules All in Taylor Sheridan's New Show by CorporateSympathizer

Ahhh, so it's more "the feds can overturn this shit any moment so while you think you're cool you might as well be fucked tomorrow." Then spreading cash through legal investments and insurance covers it. Got it. Thanks so much for the clarification.

Yea I’m pretty sure that’s what’s going on. And that’s why the guy really didn’t have the money in the bank, because maybe the feds could seize it easier that way. But Stallone’s point was that just keeping it in the safe really isn’t a solution either.

They don’t have their money in banks because they can’t. Since marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, most federally insured banks can’t/won’t accept them as customers, and they can’t allow any marijuana-related transactions over their networks. That’s also why they’re cash-only.

However, they still have to pay federal taxes on the income.
