Eli5 money laundering in Scarface

249 views

In the movie Scarface, Montana is exchanging cash for cheques from Seidelbaum. What business does Seidelbaum run that he is able to offer cheques to Montana in such a way to launder money. Wouldn’t a cheque from his business for hundred of thousands of dollars be a red flag? What does Seidelbaum do with the cash he gets from Montana (doesn’t he in turn need to launder all that money ?)
