I know some of them too, they used to bring suitcases full of cash daily. They don't even care if some of those get confiscated at the airport.

USDT made life so much easier.

Yeah, that would be a way, as it's not a really big sum.
The OP could let his friend pay for his Amazon wishlist, they won't send the GESTAPO to his home for some online shopping......right?
Right?

Mein freund, ze Aldi bag, eet ees not just any bag, ja? Ve haff reason to believe that ze contents of zis bag may be linked to a larger scheme of Geldwäsche, money laundering, perhaps even from China, naturlich.
( inspecting the bag ) Ah, ve see ve haff some Brötchen, some Milch, and some... (dramatic pause)...Schnitzel. Ja, ze Schnitzel, zis ees a classic money laundering tactic, no? You buy ze cheap food, and zen you sell eet on ze black market for a profit, ja?
Now, mein freund, ve must ask you some questions. Who paid for ze food in zis bag? Was eet you? Or perhaps someone else? Maybe someone from... (leaning in, whispering)...China?
(looking around suspiciously) Ve know that ze Chinese are known for their... (tapping nose)...creative money laundering schemes. And ve will not stand for eet in our great nation, Deutschland!
So, come now, mein freund, tell us ze truth. Who paid for ze food, and what ees ze purpose of zis... (waving hand)...Aldi bag?
And don't think you can deceive us with your..... (looking around)... suspicious shopping habits.
Now, answer ze question, mein freund! Who paid for ze food?!
P.S. I think just asking the Chinese friend to purchase a Union Pay PREPAID card for him would be the easiest. Or Amazon/Google/AirBNB/Booking/whatever coupons?
