that is how Al Capone was taken down, isn't it? That is the reason government pushes you to use banks by in particular attacking even very modest cash piles. And you do have that $10K bank transaction limit triggering law enforcement check.

- RajT88 4y agoWhat's funny is, the IRS really actually does want you to declare all money to have taxes paid. Even the stuff which is from criminal activity. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p17 https://www.irs.gov/publications/p17 That is, presumably, someone else's problem if you report money received from money laundering or bribes.
- Scoundreller 4y agoIn Canada, the CRA (our IRS) is allowed to tattle on you if the crime they suspect could be “serious criminality”, defined as could involve a sentence of 14 years or more. So when we legalized marijuana, most of the possible infractions have sentences up to 14 years and that’s no coincidence. Bringing marijuana across a border? Up to 14 years! Making an extract? Up to 14 years! Sharing with a minor? Up to 14 years!
- maxerickson 4y agoIsn't the 10K the reporting threshold for the bank? (vs actually triggering any sort of law enforcement check on that particular transaction)
- nradov 4y agoUS banks are generally required to report all cash transactions over $10K. However, they're also supposed to report smaller cash transactions that look suspicious. Like if you deposit $5K cash today, and then another $5K cash tomorrow, then it's likely that the bank will file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with FinCEN.
- bad416f1f5a2 4y agoNote particularly that attempting to shape your deposits to avoid SARs - by depositing on different days, or different banks - is itself a federal crime. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/5324 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/5324
- rnotaro 4y agoIn Canada that's the amount where your transaction get automatically submitted to FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada). Abnormal smaller transaction patterns and suspicious transaction can also be reported to FINTRAC for analysis. "FINTRAC analyzes approximately 19 million transactions per year. In 2017, FINTRAC made 2,000 disclosures to police forces." according to Wikipedia.
