Tanning shops = Money Laundering
Arson attacks then as insurance jobs or by people who theyāve fallen out with?
Possibly.
A Dubai based Dubliner had a number of Dry Cleaners also. Sure how can you tell how many customers in a tanning shop or how many shirts youāve cleaned and ironed.
Like the car wash scene in Ozark
Nail barsā¦
I heard recently that the stylist rents a chair in most nail bars.
Perhaps the more legit ones.
Iād say itās the same with barbers.
āTurkishā barbers over here. They are everywhere and cash only.
How many barbers does it take to serve the average rural town dya think?
Ballinasloe has at least 6
Not many slap heads around i guess. A lot of hairy babies
Young fellas love going to the barbers these days. Iād say thereās a lot more bidness for barbers than usual.
Thereās a load of Chinese restaurants around that I reckon are definite money laundering fronts. Never anyone in them and open 20 years.

Was talking to my barber last week about demand. He said it is very busy due to the time taken for fades and the fact that young lads will be in every second week.
Takeaway food seems to be the sector for cash laundering. I canāt understand how there are more than 20 takeaway outlets in dooradoyle/raheen (excluding the crescent).
Thereās a lot of lads rating spicebags on tik tok, it could be that bro. Absolutely bangin

For the locals, what sustains the king palace and dragon places?
Nail bars must be ideal fronts, very little needed in the way of materials / stock so even harder for revenue to investigate. Restaurants might be asked to prove they purchased that many ingredients etc.
Sunbeds and tanning is top of the list.
Electricity usage could be cross-checked I guess.
They were two I had in mind. Never a soul in there and never hear of anyone ordering from there either
I wouldnāt be gone on Chinese but that Dragon Phoenix one isnāt bad.
Not saying itās not a laundry too.
You could make a lot of money selling reliable card machines to Chinese restaurants. Whoever is supplying them at the moment is doing a terrible job as they are always broken.

There was a big CAB investigation into money laundering through Chinese restaurants not too long ago I recall.
