<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is the right subreddit so I applogise if it isnt.I have a good friend who is a Chinese National who operates a business which teaches English online. He has a contract with a very large Chinese techonology company who are looking to get him to pay his employees. The issue is he is in the UK and he isnt allowed to earn in the UK on his Visa. Therefore he wants me to use my bank account to do the bank transfers. I will earn something like 2 per indvidual I transfer to which is likely to start off at around 70 people so its not a big money earner but more a favour to a good friend. At the start the amount will be 30,000 per month but this is likely to rise. The employees are located in the UK and abroad such as the Philippines. First of all is this legal? I assume Im likely to get flagged for money laundering and might get my bank account blocked?Is there a way to ensure this doesnt happen?  <response>: No no no no. No. Dont do it. Never let someone else use your bank account - YOU will be held liable.A girl I knew allowed some friends to use her bank account in the UK, and found out later they were running a counterfeit goods operation. She found out because the police turned up. They accused her of being the leader of the whole thing and it took over a year in court before she was cleared.I can guarantee you that whatever your friend wants to do, it isnt legal, and there may be serious repercussions for you.
