I have to admit, if I worked at a bank and a customer (particularly a senior citizen) came in wanting to draw out $150,000 in cash that would raise all sorts of red flags and if I was in a decision making position, they would not get that money without investigation on the bank side. My immediate thought would be that he's in the process of being a victim of fraud. There's also the question of how law enforcement tends to handle large amounts of cash, also known as civil forfeiture. Finally, I know banks are required to report deposits of large amounts of cash, are they also required to report large withdrawals? I seem to recall that being a factor in Dennis Hastert's legal problems because I think part of what he was doing was structuring withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements.
