Clever kidnappers make arrangement in advance to deposit this cash with willing financial institutions who will hold it for several years before mixing it into their cash withdrawl stream. Kidnappers are paid based on a subtraction of interest for the period while the cash is undeposited and earns no interest for the financial institution, plus a fee.
BCCI was quite notorious for using this method to cool off hot money.
When the money was only mildly hot, it was simply physically transported to offshore banks in smaller lots and used for their cash payouts. (While riskier, this allowed the payment of interest).
The other option was simply to launder the money through enough agitations so that two or three banking secrecy entities were between the return of the currency to free circulation and the kidnappers.
