is it weird that i want to do BH stuff

in order to raise funds for a couple WH bizness ideas?
has anyone else started some 'more legit' ventures with tricky stuff?

Sure, look at all the old Vegas casinos (before Sony and MGM moved in). They were all built with money from the mob. Owning a casino is also a great way to launder large amounts of cash that are coming in from other sources, too.
