When I read that somebody pays millions in cash (meaning physical money), it leads me to believe that this might be income from illegal sources (to not leave traces the person didn't deposit it in their bank account).

But the person in the article just transferred the money from their bank account and didn't pay cash.

Seems orange color tone is still his fav ????

Where did the money come from? My guess is pennies from heaven, or nirvana if available

Something stinks.

Provided she has paid all the relevant tax on her income, no one can complain. 
 

I am sure the Revenue Department will be able to confirm this.

The things she's selling between the durian and the nam phrik  bit that is how she probably got the money to by the BM...

[CharlieH]

My speculative guess would be a large portion was donated from his former parish.

Wasnt high enough to amass the gold bullion/land and helicopters of others, cashed out early.

Cash or Credit? - a common enough term.

 

They certainly didn't use a credit facility.

Paying in cash suggests she went to the dealers with 2 suitcases of notes .A bank/money transfer being a totally different transaction.
