Gift money for a mortgage down payment. Hypothetically speaking, let us say I was gifted a large sum of money, and I used that money as a down payment to buy a house, but that money hypothetically speaking didn’t come from a legit source, is there a way to create a paper trail so it seems legit?
This all out of curiosity. Would the money need to be include laundered ? Would the person receiving the money get in trouble? 
Should I post this on Quora instead, hahah?
