That’s why I only ever do 9,999.99 at one time. 😂👍

9999 will raise more eyebrows than 10k !

Which is illegal, because it’s clearly skirting the law, and IIRC, that law says it’s illegal to skirt the law by taking it out in such a manner as to avoid the obligatory report. Wide open to interpretation!

When you seem like you’re taking out money in such a way as to dodge the 10k rule, that’s called structuring, and WILL get you investigated. Maybe not illegal, per se (as far as I know) but you’d much better off withdrawing the 10 grand than be busted structuring

Sadly, that's a crime, structuring a financial transaction to evade reporting requirements.

An old widow found her late husband's legally-acquired stash, and her kids told her to put it in the bank. However, being afraid of carrying so much, she took a little at a time. Guess who was criminally charged?
