Care to expand on this interesting anecdote?
How the heck would the polices know about the transaction?
The dealership called the cops. The manager told him that they couldn’t take cash, and that it put him in danger of getting the whole thing seized. The cops were outside before he was through.
He was lucky. They knew of him, and didn’t take the cash. He could have lost it to asset forfeiture, and never seen it again
