I was curious about domains and looked for something. The domain was available, but it cost over $1,000,000
What would happen if I clicked “add to cart” and tried to buy it if…
- I couldn’t afford it
- I could afford it
Does someone reach out since it’s a big sale? How do they confirm I have the money? Who does the money go to?
Assuming I don’t have the money, at what point would I get blocked? I assume they don’t just process giant purchases the same way as $10 ones
I moved 12,000,000 million and most of those questions don’t get asked. The banks just put the transfers thru and tax agencies just find out when you file at the end of the year.
That doesn’t mean i moved those kinds of sums without oversight. My lawyer and the other parties lawyers were involved and moneys were tracked accurately and documented.
If it is a personal transaction, good chance The bank manager will likely see it comes across their desk and additional verifications may be checked but little is done other than that.
If the transactions are international, that is when some of those oversights happen. Mostly just security checks.
I’m pretty sure different countries or regions may have different mechanisms. I’m still amazed at the ability yo move large amounts inside the US, as you have states that almost qualify as tax havens. Guess the US government is not concerned. I still find it interesting.
