+1

Bitcoin FTW.

The Mule movie

Google or YouTube civil forfeiture. That is what this is.

Should have bought doggy coin.

It's GLP's favorite SAVIOR of a SON -- Donnie President Trump, the greatest President in United States history

Apparently you have to report the money to the federal government before you even get to the airport, and then you should be fine. (As long as you have documentation of that on you.)

Freedom!

Confucious say man who walks around with life savings get ripped off

Just sayin

3 pages of comments and only 2 posts from people that actually read and understood the article.

lulz

DUH

Anything $10,000 or more MUST BE DECLARED! By law!

Those dogs are sniffing for CASH dummies!

It has a certain stench dogs can pick out.

Keeps tabs on drug money and illegal activity

The Patriot act authorized even closer scrutiny of CASH transactions

This lady is a dummy .... understanding her parents probably had a phobia of banks ... and rightly so because so many older people are scammed .

I can’t say what she should have done ... the time is past

Maybe rent a car ?


I hope they get every last cent back and with interest !

Surely some lawyer will be anxious to get at that cash and help them out

Federal law states YOU MUST declare all cash over $10,000 at an airport when traveling international not sure domestic. People are stupid ! why not just transfer funds or get a Cashiers Check. Daughter could have been scamming pops to hand off money to baby daddy....has happened before.

No, don't quit your day job to become an attorney just yet...

Structuring is organizing bank deposits and other monetary transfers in such a way as to circumvent the required reporting. It's illegal and will get your money seized in such a way to make it very difficult to get back as it is now part of a crime.

Only a complete idiot would walk into an airport with their life savings in cash. It's one of the dumbest stories I have ever heard, especially in the era of online banking.

The limit to overseas is technically 9999.99 cash, but you're an idiot to carry more than 2000 in cash anywhere. Most banks red flag 5000. Still few people carry that much cash through a TSA checkpoint. Being robbed outright is a common problem with them as well, right out of pockets, purses and wallets. I SEW the cash into my pants.

Don't be stupid. You have rights yes, you also have limited time on his earth. Don't make unnecessary dramas happen. These stories are non stories to me, interesting only to a complete moron in todays day and age.

Seems like an example of people who aren't very bright trying to avoid inconvenient questions regarding the source of the income.

so what would you have done with the cash while you traveled to the airport and got on the plane to go home?

Try depositing $82,000 and see what happens at the bank. The money will be confiscated in exactly the same way.

I think the Taxpayer First Act has changed that.

Changes to the IRS’s Ability to Seize Assets in Money Structuring Cases
When seizing assets under the civil forfeiture laws for violations of Section 5324 (money structuring), the IRS may now only seize assets where the property derives from an illegal source or the funds were structured for the purposes of concealing the violation of a criminal law or regulation, other than a violation of Section 5234. The Act requires that probable cause that a taxpayer evaded financial reporting requirements before any seizure, and provide notice of that seizure to the affected taxpayer explaining that the taxpayer has the right to a post-seizure hearing within 30 days after the asset seizure. If the IRS fails to show that required probable cause, the seizure will be rescinded. There is an extendable 30-day deadline for the court to make its finding in that regard.

Dash is better than bitcoin.

This is the freedums our Troops (g-d bless them) fight for!

Fools & their monies are soon parted.

A j-w and his nose sniffs out every shekel

Oh look a People far more intelligent than millennials father and gen-x daughter thinking they still live in America and that it is a free country.

Where "Legal tender" is illegal, according to the 'authorities' decree.


Only in America their host of corruption, a slave nation, literally a colony of war slaves. Where ignorance of the law is no excuse, so say the slave drivers to their chattel, masters and overlords over their human Capital, their slave property.


Thread: Are you fully sane?


Thread: the idea of AMERICA is just an IDEA. the reality is AMERICA is a fascist police state

How you afford a lawyer if your life savings is gone?

God Bless America! U.S.A.! U.S.A! U.S.A.!

Lawyer will take it on the free case and if they win the lawyer gets a percentage of that money.

easy trick to get tons of money through airport if you have 80k you need to get through you buy a gold rope chain worth that amount and wear it around your neck as jewelry it doesnt have to be declared and it cant be seized..when you get to your final destination convert your gold back into cash..

the small hassle of converting is worth the piece of mind.

Amazing that people here think the courts do honest work.
