Saul Goodman Gives Walter White Money Advice | Phoenix | Breaking Bad

So easy to imagine the "...haven't you ever seen White Heat?" / "...I don't see how that pertains" exchange as Mulder and Scully

"I count my cash by weighing it on the bathroom scale"

For some reason, that hits me weirdly. It's wild that someone as detail-oriented as Walt doesn't have one of those automatic cash counting machines

1:35😂

1:46 this is the moment Walter became Waltuh

1:46 "Waltuh"

Walter's reaction when Saul says "zombies" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love that not getting credit for earning money is enough to bring him to tears but not an associate of his murdering a child

Jimmy gives Walter and his wife good advice dozens of times, and then they blame him when they don't take it or it doesn't go perfectly.
He was right when he said that Walter would have been caught or killed at the very beginning, if it weren't for him.

Why does Saul get possessed by Mike @1:47

1:47 "W a l t u h"

came from quackity

You have this much money that comes from a questionable soruce all it is is gas money and groceries. Spend it on cars, TV's, new bigger fancier house, irs, and feds come knocking in an hour

This man´s ego it´s bigger than mount Everest.

Jess could've been okay if he listened to Walt. And Walt could've been okay if he listened to Saul

Saul here being the broker for the good of himself and Walter is very cunning 😂

Large scale organized crime's major problem in modern times is laundering the profits. That's why crypto is so popular. The only significant entity in the global economy that routinely uses crypto as a medium of exchange for goods and services is organized crime.

This showcases the main difference between Walter and Gus. Gus pragmatically had zero ego. Ego wal Walter's downfall.

People thought this was a good show?

None of the first two suggestions solves the problem of introducing a large amount of cash into the legitimate banking system. Using paid clicks to supply a gfm-type site might work, but requires a ton of work=arounds and money shifts (after all, the guy in his mother's basement in Belarus wants to get paid, too. He'll prolly take Bitcoin).

Let's face it, an amount of cash larger than a four-figure amount is today practically worthless unless you have a way to introduce it into the US banking system without arousing suspicion.

I mean buying in cash is always an option. Sure you still have to launder enough but when you buy cash even if it is tracked you can usually talk people into saying you gave them less money. 🤷

Going back and rewatching Breaking Bad it becomes more and more apparent that the show is all about Walt's pride and ego

Saul was a genius

Walter could’ve gone so far if he didn’t have pride. He could’ve used the long lost uncle whoever and nobody (not even the IRS) would’ve questioned where $80 million came from.

Exactly how George Soros originally funded Barak Obama and how both Act Blue and Win Red fund corrupt politicians today.

Walter’s pride realy was the end of him

I rewatched breaking bad right after finishing better call Saul. I swear Saul is the main character of the breaking bad universe. He has the most screen time out of any character in the show and he’s just so entertaining to watch.

Mike was right. Walt’s ego was in his way

1:19 walt's ego

He could have made it look like the money came from a dead relative temporarily. Walter could have made some video or letter for them telling them the truth (they would not know the truth until his death)

I can kind of sympathize with Walter's desire to receive credit for making the money, even if it's unreasonable

The Walking Dead could not be in the same universe as Breaking Bad since Saul said "Zombies"

Walter white? More like Ego white

Walt is his own worst enemy- his ego will be his undoing

Saul has knack about law. Genius

Saul: what about a fictional long lost relative that died and left you millions?

Walt: Saul that’s brilliant

Directed by Vince Gilligan

I feel myself engorging when Saul speaks. Lol

From there we can see that the excuse of "Im doing this for my family" crumbled to nothing. He wanted to be the big man. Saul gave good ideas his pride was bigger than his common sense

Walter refuses the uncle way but in the end he does exactly that. He changed in the end. But it was too late!

1:46 waltuhh

Walt's ego problem is on full display in this scene

Walter refusing every safe option to launder his money because he wants to stroke his ego... Saul had some serious patience.

Invest it through a ghost organization to buy businesses, then Walter can later claim he solved a situation and got hired on consultation for it all. Boom, he gets to be the hero, and everyone wins.

The first major hint to Walt's ego is the fact that his son is Walt Jr.
