When the law legalizes theft is it any wonder acts of self defense against that theft are illegal too?

[Mo1]

fyi

[Rodney King]

It's such an outrageous law. They make it so that you have to report any transaction over $10,000, and then charge you if you make withdrawls under $10,000.

Ali A. Odeh, 36 [...] also known as Ali Abdel Latif Mbarak and Ali A. M. Thatata

Any time you're delaing with someone who feels the "need" for multiple aliases: start with a presumption of guilt, and move forward from that point.

Federal authorities have charged a Clinton man

Explains everything.

[DoughtyOne]

I've got two letters for you IRS. F U Yes, F U and the three horses you road in on, the House, the Senate and the Presidency. This is not supposed to be a socialist nation. Get it? Obviously not!

That being said, the names involved in this case cause me to ponder if there isn't a little more to this case than simple tax avoidance.

[BIGLOOK]

Hmmmm........4.3 million......36 years old? So what business was he involved in?

The math average is $9287.25 over what period of time I don't know. But I'm sure he was on a first name basis with the tellers.

Federal authorities have charged a Clinton man with fixing bank transactions

Too bad....... I was really hoping the phrase "a Clinton man" meant a Clinton X42 bag-man.

[Normal4me]

Aw you left out the best part!

"He could receive a maximum of five years in prison per charge against him."

2315 years in the slammer!

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Bruce said a bank must report a transaction of $10,000 or more to the IRS.

This guy appears to need some updated training. $10,000 used to be a magic number, but it hasn't been for several years. An activity can require a bank to generate a SAR even if it is under $10,000.00.

[King Prout]

on the one hand, I wonder what this fellow with these three names was doiung with all that money.

on the other hand, I really don't like this mandatory transaction report BS

[Gritty]

Can you say "likely terrorist bagman"?

Yes, I thought you could!

[B Knotts]

Charged with a crime for withdrawing his own money?

Welcome to the New America.

Well, if they want him to have to report on transactions UNDER $10K, why don't they get legislators to enact that into law? Until then, he's complying with the existing law, so they should mind their own bidness.

[TommyDale]

Obvious question: Was it his money, legally? If so, what is the illegality here?

[velocityguy]

"Ali Abdel Latif Mbarak and Ali A. M. Thatata, made 463 withdrawals from July 13, 2000, to June 28, 2004"

Ali Abdel Latif and Ali A.M. are both the followers of the Book of Jihad (i.e they are Muslims) and plus they made these big money transactions. Hmmmm, that tells there is more to this story. Possibly, they may be planning to use this money for the violent Jihad for the moongod?

[Quinotto]

Oh, please, please, let me guess what his family and friends will say..."We do not believe this, he was framed by the government for being Muslim, he is such a devoted father, husband, brother, uncle, friend...etc" as they always say when it comes to these people being arrested.

[longtermmemmory]

actually what he was doing is what drug dealers do as part of money laundering to legitimize funds.

I suspect there is more to this story than can be reported in the media.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

If the limit is $10K, then why is the government monitoring his $9.9K withdrawls.
