Not anymore. Deposit a few checks into your bank account that are just under $10k, and you've committed a felony for structuring your deposits. It should be "intent," but that's too hard to prove.
- lmm 13y agoThere are indeed some (bad) laws for which that's true, but it's still fair to say that in law intent generally matters.
- bediger4000 13y agoI don't think that's fair. It's accurate to say that the US Law is moving away from considering intent at all.
- darkarmani 13y agoI got my example from popehat and there is a nice long blog post on there about how the laws are greatly moving away from "intent" and it is a dangerous thing.
