That's a charitable view of it. A less charitable view is that this is the early stages of currency controls. If we simply limited people from moving money around, like they did in the USSR or Warsaw Pact countries, and are currently doing in countries like Venezuela and Argentina, then people would know the jig is up and the dollar would crash. Here they are using the pretext of "fighting crime" to violate our rights (demanding information without a warrant violates the 4th and every instance of it is illegal under USC 18-242).... with the long term effect that regular people start to internalize the idea that you can't just take your money out of a bank, and trying to do it slowly is "structuring" and a crime.
Structuring is the very definition of a thought crime.. and people have internalized it already!
