He would have to launder that cash first. The video showed that a large chunk of it were $50 bills.
That would make it way harder to launder with a Breaking Bad style car wash.

9 percent of Americans had 500,000 or more in savings.. that’s less than 1 in 10 per household… there are 345 million Americans

There's a million ways to launder that shit under the radar.
Bro, you would quit STEALING and get a square job
Again, 700k ain't a lot of money to stop that hustle. A nice house in some parts of the country costs 700k. 700k won't last that long once you start spending and not replenishing.
Not with 700k. Sorry....that ain't enough. Yes, it's a large sum of money, but not enough to live off of forever. For me to quit that scam, I'm going to need a few million...then I'd stop.Bro, you would quit STEALING and get a square job
Most 22 yr olds ain’t trying to cop a house..so let’s cut the he was just gonna spend his money on a house shit
lets go back to the middle class line you said earlier.. middle class is considered 56,000-169,000 and you said a bunch of those people have 700,000 in the bank… yet only 9 percent of Americans had 500,000 in savings
Right. He wasn't going to buy a house, he was going to spend it on bullshit...so that 700k would dry up in a few months. So why stop at 700k?
get greedy...dont know when to stop it gets you err time...
We dont know what he was gonna spend it on since he still had it in safes in his crib..so the fact he had that much saved seems he might not be that much of a compulsive spender.. like I said you could flip that money legally or do other things with it.. yes 700,000 can do a lot of things to which he can easily fallback from the game
How exactly would you launder $700k in 50 dollar bills without arousing suspicion?
If he doesn't have a legit business, there are plenty of businesses that will let you run that money through their business for a fee (to launder it). It's not strange to deposit stacks of 50's a little bit at a time through a business. If the business is also spread out, you can sprinkle the money across multiple state deposits.
I didn't say he "needed one" I'm saying you can make one large purchase and that would wipe out the 700k.
Again, I'm going to keep saying 700k ain't enough for me to quit that kind of hustle. Especially when I've been getting away with it.

There are plenty of places you get a good house for less than 700,000.
With the biggest expenditure being housing, he will be living comfortably as long as he can cover the property tax. Get a paying roommate or two he won't have to worry about property taxes either.
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, if you know what you’re doing
He was doing everything digitally and had opened several bank accounts to withdraw the funds. Not sure why he didn't get smaller bills, but it would have been easy for him to go to a bank and do atm deposits and withdrawals.
My guess is whatever he was planning on doing with the money required a large sum of money in which the 50's would be easier to count.

Dont make large purchases….
Go get a job now
Find a legit hustle
Slowly start investing the ill gotten funds
Yeah, you're not a crook. That's what YOU would DO.
Now if you're a 22-year-old crook? You wouldn't stop.
*Also, I don't think he could stop. The people who popped him? Those were his accomplices 9 out of 10 times, and they weren't going to let you quit, much less flip on them.
People don't do DoorDash because they have bread. They do it because they're struggling and NEED that money. He robbed people who were just trying to make ends meet. On top of that, he had no exit strategy. Just stealing, flexing, and vibes. Hate to see any young brotha die or get booked but those were the only two avenues he left himself, unfortunately.
you done raised my suspicion now mayne
This right hehyou done raised my suspicion now mayne
this is why Im saying 700k ain't enough for me to quit
Yea yea yea
Keep kicking the goal post
California man admits to scamming DoorDash out of $2.5 million using fake deliveries

A former delivery driver has pleaded guilty to conspiring with several others to steal over $2.5 million from DoorDash, a San Francisco-based food delivery company, federal prosecutors said.
Sayee Chaitanya Reddy Devagiri, 30, of Newport Beach, California, pleaded guilty on May 13 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California. Prosecutors said Devagiri admitted to working with three others and a former employee of DoorDash in a fraud scheme that targeted the company between 2020 and 2021.
In the scheme, the group caused DoorDash to pay for deliveries that never occurred, according to prosecutors. Prosecutors said the scheme resulted in more than $2.5 million in fraudulent payments.
Devagiri was arrested and indicted alongside Manaswi Mandadapu, 29; Matheus Duarte, 29; and Hari Vamsi Anne, 30, in October 2024, according to prosecutors. All four were charged with a single count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Mandadapu pleaded guilty to the charge on May 6, prosecutors said. Duarte and Anne previously pleaded not guilty and are scheduled to appear in court on July 22, The Los Angeles Times reported.
The former DoorDash employee involved in the scheme, Tyler Thomas Bottenhorn, was charged in a separate indictment in September 2022 and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in November 2023, according to prosecutors.
Devagiri is expected to appear in court for a status hearing on September 16, prosecutors said. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

According to an indictment unsealed in October 2024, the group worked together between November 2020 to February 2021. During that period, Devagiri, along with Mandadapu, Duarte, and Anne, created multiple fraudulent customer and driver accounts with DoorDash, the indictment states.
The group used the fraudulent customer accounts to place "high value" orders from restaurants across Northern California, including Santa Clara County, according to the indictment. They then utilized an employee’s credentials to access DoorDash's computer systems and software.
The indictment further alleged that the group used the computer systems to manually reassign DoorDash orders placed by their fraudulent customer accounts to their driver accounts. Prosecutors said Devagiri then would report the orders had been delivered on the driver accounts when they had not and manipulated the software to prompt DoorDash to pay the driver accounts for the deliveries that never occurred.

Devagiri also used the DoorDash software to change the orders from “complete” statuses to “in process” statuses and reassigned the orders to driver accounts that the group controlled, according to the indictment. Prosecutors said Devagiri repeated this process, which took less than five minutes, hundreds of times for many orders.
In total, the group stole over $2.5 million and received payments through bank accounts controlled by Devagiri Mandadapu, Duarte, and Anne, the indictment states.
According to the indictment, the group gained access to the software by using credentials that belonged to Bottenhorn, who was a resident of Solano County, California. He briefly worked for DoorDash in 2020. After pleading guilty in 2023, prosecutors said Bottenhorn admitted to being involved in the scheme to defraud the company.
Devagiri Mandadapu, Duarte, and Anne were all arrested on Oct. 4, 2024, prosecutors said. Devagiri and Mandadapu were taken into custody in Newport Beach and later released on bond. Duarte was arrested in Mountain House, California, and was also released on bond.
Anne was arrested in Cypress, Texas, and was detained in Houston pending further proceedings, according to prosecutors.

Fraudulent accounts, manipulated DoorDash software
DoorDash provides food delivery services to customers who place orders on the platform. Drivers who work for the company fulfill those orders by picking up ordered items from restaurants and other merchants and delivering them to customers.According to an indictment unsealed in October 2024, the group worked together between November 2020 to February 2021. During that period, Devagiri, along with Mandadapu, Duarte, and Anne, created multiple fraudulent customer and driver accounts with DoorDash, the indictment states.
