You do not have to be a drug dealer to have ALL cash income.
Some people deal in collectables that when you sell them, they do not generate a 1099 form. There are many people who scam off the rich(the top 1%).

And most veterans have to fight like hell to get service connected disability(ies) rated properly.
New way to buy a yacht, EBT card.

That boat looks like a money pit. Too much wood to maintain.
