Like obviously large crime groups would do deals of drugs, weapons, and other illegal things, for millions of dollars. How did they make sure all the money was legit? Like did they just trust that the shady people they were dealing with would pay them properly? Or did these trades actually take up to hours to process properly. Cuz it just be a bunch of men running the bills through counting machines?

More often than not, large quantities of bills will be counted by weight. If the weight seems suspicious, the money will be brought to a facility where they are counted more meticulously after the trade.
Since these crime syndicates usually deal in stacks of a certain denomination ($10,000 to $100,000), the entire quantity of bills in the transaction won’t be counted. Individual stacks can be randomly pulled from the lot, counted, and statistics will be calculated to see if the total quantity is close enough to the total value. With transactions in the millions, a missing $1,000 is pretty meaningless.
