Hello,

I have someone that is willing to pay me a % of BTC for converting it to USD and sending it to India. Basically they are wanting to send me 2 BTC and I am supposed to convert those to USD (in US) and send to an Indian bank account.

I know usually these things are questionable but since BTC is irreversible... any thoughts on below:

1) Tax implications since these will go towards MISC earnings on W2 and even if I write majority as expenses since most will be sent back in USD.
2) Is this frowned upon since I am not a registered coin exchange in my state of residence?
3) Is this seen as $ launder1ng?

Probably yes to all questions, but wanted to confirm. Thanks guys.
