In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court held (Ratzlaf v. United States, opinion by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) that you were not guilty of "structuring" unless you knew that structuring was illegal; the law was immediately amended (thank you, President Bush) to make it illegal to "structure" even if you didn't know it was illegal to do so.
You might want to double-check who was president in 1994.
