While building up your drug empire in Schedule 1, one of the first things you’ll need to work out is how to launder money in the game. Indeed, while this won’t be a major concern for your first few days as a small-scale local weed dealer, you’ll very quickly find yourself needing to launder dirty money into clean money in Schedule 1 - and this isn’t always an obvious thing to do, especially once you begin handling large sums of money. Following this thought, today, we’re looking at how you can launder money in Schedule 1; hopefully, this will help ensure your money stays clean no matter how many deals you do!

Why Do You Need to Launder Money in Schedule 1

In Schedule 1, cleaning your money’s paramount to ensure that your less-than-legal activities stay unnoticed. Indeed, the cash obtained from your weed sales is considered dirty, which means that it’s associated with illegal activities. Given this thought, in order to use this money without attracting attention, it must be cleaned to eliminate any traces of its illicit origins. Of course, we should point out here that the police are unlikely to worry too much if they investigate large sums of money in your pockets. However, perhaps the biggest issue with keeping hold of loads of dirty cash is that the reputable local businesses in the area won’t accept cash payments. Since they’ll only take card payments - and these are restricted at the ATM to $10,000 per week, it won’t be long before you end up with far more money than you can successfully launder.

How to Launder Money in Schedule 1

Now that we’ve clarified why laundering money is so important in Schedule 1, it’s now time to consider how to make dirty money into clean money. Indeed, this isn’t always easy, and while it starts out as quite a simple process, it becomes far more involved as the game progresses.

Now, in the early game, you can launder money easily by simply taking the cash you earn and putting it into an ATM to add to your card. This is easy to do from any ATM; however, there’s a significant drawback: you can only submit a maximum of $10,000 per week. Now, this is fine in the early game while you’re earning a few hundred per day. However, as the game progresses, you’ll quickly end up earning more than the $1500 a day needed to exceed this threshold. Given this thought, you’ll soon find yourself in a position where you’re earning far more than you can deposit using the ATM. This begs the question: how can you launder this money into your account? Well, this is where you’ll need to try your hand at investing in legitimate businesses instead. A shocker, we know. But why do this? Well, you can invest in legit businesses using your drug money, and at the back of each legitimate business, you’ll find a machine that allows you to process up to $2000 per day onto your card. This equates to $14,000 per week for the first business you purchase - the Laundromat - and increases with subsequent businesses.

How to Purchase a Business

If you’re at the stage where buying businesses to launder money is becoming necessary, you’ll need to first head over to Ray’s Realty. Here, you can buy a range of different businesses depending on your progress through the game: the laundromat, the Post Office, the Car Wash, and finally, Taco Ticklers. These range in price between $4000 and $50,000, so there’s quite the range!
