Man, daughter suing after $82K life savings seized at Pittsburgh International Airport

No, its not legal to have undocumented money in amounts that have been deemed inappropriate.
Allegedly to keep illegal enterprizes like drugs and crime under control, but, look around, isnt criminality being incrimentally being excused by the same govt?
So, if they are more and more excusing and legitimizing crime, at street level, what can the real purpose then be?

Its an additional encroachment of Napoleonic law upon the public.
Nobody can prove themselves innocent except by their approval.

Pathetically small amount of money for life savings.

If the 4th amendment got half the support that the second amendment gets, the second amendment would not even be at risk.

you can spend that and more in just one day in hospital

Perhaps he has a million dollar house? That was just cash he had in the house.

What kind of wishful thinking planet did you grow up on? You're in the wrong world buddy.

FAT CHANCE

It's THEIR MONEY. And NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS HOW PEOPLE HANDLE THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY, WHAT THEY DO WITH IT.

Lots of people have nothing, so its not pathetic at all

Plain theft!

If the judge rules so, the "officer" should be prosecuted for the attempt

If you came by it legally and paid taxes, it's legally yours.

Maybe he liked cash because he didn't trust the thieving banksters. A lot of older people still remember being robbed by banks (the real bank robbers are banks) and never trusted their money in a bank.

There, said it for you:

:hexagram-meme:

Incorrect you are allowed to have as many accounts as you want. Structuring involves moving money out of state or to hid a sale / transfer.

American Express traveler's checks - if they take them they cannot cash them - you can call them in as lost and Amex will cancel and replace. Problem solved.

Right? Put it in the fucking bank THEN decide what to do with it...duh!

It's 2020, if you are that naive to think you can travel around with that kind of money and not know the repercussions of legal seizure laws, I'm sorry, live and learn, turn off MSM and try an alternative News source, it just may save you a buck or 2.

They didn't want to put it in a bank, and they didn't want to claim to the IRS that they had more then 10,000. Then that 82k would probably be 50k. ;p


SHould have kept in the floor boards or the couch.

Did he keep it in his mattress?

Should've bought Dash digital cash with that money instead. Not only would they have benefited from the recent runup from USD 40 to USD 150, but they also would've enjoyed Dash's instant transactions, strong financial privacy, governance and funding options. They could've moved that USD 82k for less than 1 cent, to anywhere in the world in less than 2 seconds. There are no coins that can do that besides Dash. Pity they didn't know about it.

This is a guy from the older generation that never used the Internet. He's lived through every economic crisis since the 1940s & knows how crooked the banks are. I guess they never dared imagine criminal money confiscations by the government at this level but this shit has been going on for 2+ decades. It'll cost him a fortune in legal fees to get his money back, & even then there's no guarantee these thieves will return it.

Trump supports it as well.
Remember the video where Trump was going to have some Senators job because the Senator wanted to do away with Asset Forfieture.

so

is this a NEW story or the one from last year?

THIS!

My parents were the same way......they kept minimal amounts in saving and checking account.....the majority was in cash....I still conduct business 5K and under with cash.....my vendors are old timers and remember when "Cash is king".....I get discounts, faster service, or bumped up in priority using cash....

Though is sounds mean. There's more to this story, then what's told. When, she was stopped at security she gave a story she was taking it to MA.for safe keeping, then put it in a bank, even though he had a bank account. Then, she was questioned again at the gate and her story changed. They wanted to call her father, but she refused them too, saying he would be confused at 7am. Then, her story changed again, saying they were going to surprise him with a new truck. Her father has bouts of dementia. So, she's given multiple stories that don't match, which raised red flags with authorities. That's why thier holding the money.

If they put all that money into BTC, they wouldn't of had a problem!

The bankers are financial terrorists.

First, when stopped and questioned ask, what law you have broken.

Then inform them you don't care to discuss your business with them. Then shut up.

If they won't let you go, ask if you are being detained. Then shut up. Any answer other than yes, you walk on and shut up.

Having money is not probable cause. Thus, the gov't has no authority to take yours.
