For structuring the withdrawal of $952,000 in sums less than $10000 in order to get around IRS notification.
Taking your money out of bank is potentially illegal. If not done the way the IRS likes you to.

I swear, this country is turning into pure shite. I'll bet if the Founding Fathers could see what we've become, they'd have said "frick it, let's just stick with ole King George".

He should obey the law, but a law like this proves just how far govt. will go to control your life.

I believe someone recently started a thread about a guy that was recently F'd by the IRS for depositing his money in $10,000 increments as advised by his bank. It wasn't illegal, but the IRS didn't like it so they stuck it to him.

He was being blackmailed and when the FBI wanted to know why he was taking the money out in an odd manner, he lied to the FBI.

The law is there to detect money laundering. If you make a large cash deposit/withdrawal in excess of $10k, the banks are required to file a Transaction Report to the IRS. Lots of small, repetitive transactions is a red flag of illegal activity. I know, it sucks and may not be right, but that's the purpose

And he was being blackmailed, so it sounds like the structuring rule worked. It helped find illegal activity.

The story says he was going to pay someone $3.5 mill to conceal and compensate them for something he did to them. WTF do you do that is worth that much to hide?

No he was the Speaker of the House or Majority Leader of Congress, but not President.

Third in line behind the V.P.
