What if the guy had a debit card that gave him access to an account containing $124,700 in U.S. Currency. Is that a crime too?
SCOTUS needs to reverse this.
maybe someone should ask this judge... anyone find an email address?
The reason why criminals often avoid bank accounts is obvious.If you're a drug dealer,money launderer,terrorist,etc the last thing you want is for the police to be able to track your activities.
Although the story doesn't offer proof that the guy is a criminal,I think it's quite reasonable to suspect that he is.
I do think,however,that in a situation like this the guy should be able to go to court,give a plausible explanation of where he got the money and why he was carrying so much cash and,if his story checks out,he could get it back.
