don't fly domestic with large sums of cash

[HookedonPonics]

One time I was flying to denver and had my TI nail on me so I could dab once I made it and I watched my bag run thru the scanner and was watching the guy screening it. He literally zoomed past 5 layers of bag, clothes etc and zoomed into the nail it was so clear I could see the tiny ridges in the TI from repeated use. He didnt say a damn thing and I made it just fine. But flying with 40k in 20's they saw that from a mile away. And they probably dont search you until your home, simply so if they dont find shit they dont have to refund your ticket. TSA and airport police probably gets the dough no matter what city its confiscated as long as your in an airport when it is.

LOL @ flying with 2,000 $20 dollar bills...sounds like an ingenious plan.

I think what he is dealing with is civil asset forfeiture and if so have him look up the annotated codes regarding civil asset forfeiture in the state where he is getting charged. This sucks but is beatable, I've done it myself, albeit not easy at all!

It's always done under "Civil Forfeiture" burden of proof falls on you, as where and how did you come across these funds.
Criminal forfeiture puts the burden of proof on LEO. As in THE PEOPLE. VS. JOHN DOE. They never want to go the Criminal Forfeiture route because they have to prove where you got the cash ..... Lazy pricks ....:mad:

It sounds to me, like your friend of a friend was ratted out.

If they detected the cash on him as he was going through security, the local authorities would have snatched him up before allowing him to leave their jurisdiction. Why let someone else take credit for your discovery/bust? That is how cops get promoted.

Someone tipped off the cops he was coming. IMO

Sounds like they been peeking at the dude for a while ..... Letting him board the plane and then pick him up on the other end smells like the Feds. Transporting over state lines and as always once in the air you fall under the Feds jurisdiction .... Sorry to hear about the guys dilemma , seems you can't make an honest buck any more unless your a rich dude swindling people out of their money in ponze scheme.
Oh and don't worry the local jurisdiction gets a nice cut of the pie too....

We now live in a world where carrying cash is a crime. Fuckin- A. I don' care if it's a million bucks in a suitcase, it's the person's private property....and nobody's g-dam business where it came from or what it is for.

I once sold one of my Harleys for $17k, took the guys check to the bank and asked for cash. They said no way, no-can-do. I asked for a manager and demanded my money.. It took some haggling but they gave it to me. Then they asked if I needed the guard to escort me out. I said no thanks, and smiled as I walked out with my .32 TomCat tucked away in my pocket ;)

Another time I had a check for $20k and the bank that issued it would not budge on giving me cash. Pricks. I opened up an account there, waited until the check cleared and went back to withdraw the $20k. Again they said no cash. They let me have $2k. I then went to their other branches and took $2k from each one. After a few days of re-visiting these same banks and taking out 2k each time, I had my full fuckin' $20k.

FYI, any cash bank transaction of $5000 or more (a deposit or withdrawal) is now automatically reported to the federal agencies. Recently a bank teller told me they changed it to $2500....AND any amount that looked "suspicious." (ie say you have an account of Joe's Dog Grooming Service and are depositing $30k per week in your account. Again, it's nobodys business but this is the kind of world we now live in.

Cash will soon be outlawed, I'd say within the next 5--7 years.

I agree Kolah. Also with the man making it so the banking industry is able to take deposits in med and rec states smells fishy. What better way to seize those assets then to let them put them in the bank.

What ever happens on the stage in D.C. can easily be washed over by the new admin.

 

[HookedonPonics]

thats insane, more than 2500 is suspicious!! These mofos need to come visit the bay where that amount wont even cover rent, let alone utilities, taxes etc. this is why id never cross state lines with the stuff, all my buddies who tried in the past, in the long run ended up losing just as much money as they gained. You end up getting low balled in cali for meds, but if you know what your doing, you get to touch every donation you rightfully grew/earned.

i used to fly back and forth to vegas with 10-12k at a time. 30-40k you got to wonder how much he files for taxes a year? my cousin got caught with 150k cash in a raid and the IRS took it all. IT was either that or face 8 years for tax evasion. he signed it away 4 days later they took 40k from his bank acount, that he didnt verbally agree to, but it was part of the forfiture form he signed because he built it up over 2 years.

Ouch. Better than 8 years though.

ya 2,500 ain't shit on the east coast either...depending on the bank and the teller...constant and large cash deposits on a regular checking acct should be suspicious..especially for non commercial. My banks pushing virtual atm checking right now..where you don't get teller services, but the bean counters can see...what goes into atm's. The IRS doesn't look at regular accounts that often, but they often will nit pick through any commercial account. It's hard to prove if money in a regular account is gifted or what have you..compared to a commercial account set up in a dba.
I'm lucky I don't have to move any cash over state lines, but believe me, I'm still cautious. The guys I know who ball stax between states, use overnight delivery in x-ray proof safes. Pay off somebody to leave on the porch or scout out a property and use it incognito.

i think anyone getting popped for having cash is already popped to start with. there is no money detecting tech or x ray for money. my boys fly with 50 to 100 stacks all the time and never a problem. just mix it in with luggage in random spots so its not all together. if there existed the tech to find the loot these guys would have had a problem by now. just sayin.

I agree. The peeps looking at the x-ray screens are not looking for money. They are looking for weapons and bombs! I did make a $5000 cash deposit recently. I don't suggest doing that, LOL. They called another teller over so they could count it together. Created some attention in the bank. They said it was standard policy to have two tellers with deposits of 5k or more. I just do 4k at a time now and there is no issues. I make most of my taxable income in cash as well ( Gratuities ) so my deposits are always cash and have been for 15 years at this bank.

 

[bongobongo]

I've personally flown with 5k, no prob.

And for
Everyone's knowledge 2k USPS MO are now flagged and need social/bla bla bla
