.. Or you could pay in crypto. Or you could convert your crypto to cash in a Wendys parking lot.
Furthermore, in the latter scenario, that cash is eventually going to get deposited back into a regulated institution (to pay credit card bills, etc.). If anything, a person depositing thousands of dollars in cash on a regular basis is going to draw more scrutiny, especially if they're not running a cash business.
Which leads to the obvious solution: you're going to buy that Wendy's where you're exchanging your USBs for cash. Congratulations. You're now officially a money launderer!
