The feds have been scrutinizing those who deposit or withdraw amounts of cash over $10,000 for many years in an effort to curb money laundering, drug dealing, tax evasion, and just to get in our faces. And now for alleged terrorism too. Financial institutions, car dealers, and casinos have had to file currency transaction reports for each such transaction. Having been a licensed check casher, I was exempt from such reporting for the operation of the business, but had to file for any customer who transacted in excess of ten grand a day.

Well the rules changed alot more cat. I am in international banking and the information that has to be filed for transactions over $10,000.00 was basic debitor creditor information. Swift which handles 99.9 % of international transmissions handed over access to all transfers. What bothers me as a banker is that they didn't even inform the banks. They went to a third party outside (foreign) vendor without even so much as informing the banks.

I don't know these tactics are starting to remind me of somebody. This "well we know its not good for our constitution but it's got to be done" explanantion that is always given after a grand major breach of constitutional freedom issue is discovered. This "for the greater good" excuse was also used by a fellow countryman of mine and everybody went along until it was too late. I am from Austria.

That's good to know - I am expecting a VERY large deposit in my bank account sometime in the next few weeks... I don't mean to brag, but the son of the deposed king of Nigeria and I are working together to move some of his family's fortune out of the country.

Do you think I should break the deposit up into multiple accounts?

Apparently all of your Nigerian bundles will have to be split (ha ha HA!), but so far my deal in Ghana is still a secret...




Ooops. Forget you just read that.
