Why is she carrying $13K of cash around?
To: johniegrad
Her husband died the day before. Maybe she visited the safe deposit box or had the cash for some reason related to his death.
To: johniegrad
Why is she carrying $13K of cash around? I am sure the government is asking the same question. After all, it is illegal to carry that much cash around, isn't it?

To: johniegrad
Not the last time I checked.I was being marginally sarcastic. You can't go into the bank and get that amount of money in cash from your account without the government being notified.

I see. The little old lady sounds a tad vulnerable to be carrying that kind of cash around in the big city. I suppose it's none of my business as you say but I wouldn't do it.
To: johniegrad
I thought that if the BATF caught anyone with that much cash they'd take the money, throw you in jail, jail the cabbie, and confiscate the cab.

Maybe she doesn't trust banks. There are still some people like that around.

It's her money so she has every right to carry it around. There is nothing illegal about it.

who got into Glenn Scher's cab
The government will check into why an American is driving a cab.
Has to be an alias.

What an amazing story. Not the part about the money being returned, the part about there still being an English speaking cabbie in New York.

LOL! Worthy of Letterman!
To: nickcarraway
A lot of people, especially those who grew up during the depression, pay cash for large items like funerals. What a great story. I wish there were enough info provided to send the cabbie a small donation in recognition of his honesty. Even though he did the 'right thing' a lot of today's population would not react the way he did.

Interesting to see that the cabbie is also the deli guy at my local supermarket.
To: johniegrad
Let me answer that for you. When her husband died, the account would be frozen,a soon as the bank found out. So she hopped a cab over to the bank, emptied out the account..without telling the bank that he was dead. Happens every day..
