You decide on taking up Alex on his offer. You tell Jesse your (illegal) plan and she nervously accepts. Soon you arrange a meeting between the three of you at the power station.

Alex: "Hey girlies. Long time no see."
Jesse: "Hey! You're the only one here that's *actually* a girl."
Alex: "Looks the opposite to me. Don'tcha think?"
You're here to talk business so you skip the banter. Basically Alex is offering to be the manager of a retail business under you and Jesse's name, that will be used to launder the profits you make from swapping.
Alex: "Of course, since it's your company. You ladies will need to provide the initial investment. I'm thinking $100,000 to $300,000 of clean money will be enough."
Hmm could be a problem. You made tens of thousands of dollars in the last two weeks, but you can't just pop that in your legit savings account.
Jesse: "We can't afford that without our swap-money!"
Alex: "Huh? Can't you two just take out a loan?"
Possibly, Jesse lives at his parents' house but you already have a home loan.
Jesse: "Can't we just make a smaller cheaper business?"
Alex: "What? You want me to be manager to a food truck? That's lame, but I could."
Jesse: "Ohhh couldn't you pay for it?"
Alex: "Oh sure, I'll pay for and do everything if you two become my personal secretaries dressed as playboy bunnies."
Very droll, but it raises the question: what does Alex expect to get out of this deal?
Alex: "What's in it for me? As the manager I'll be paying myself a salary at market rate. Also I want unlimited free swaps."
