In this day and age, you're nuts to carry that kind of cash with you unless you're headed directly for the bank to make a deposit.
Aside from the prospects of being ripped off, the cops can take away that money from you without charging you and you have to litigate to get it back (the burden of proof is on you). Under the current asset forfeiture laws, the cops only have to "suspect" you of using the cash for a drug transaction and their "logic" will be that you wouldn't be carrying that amount of money for anything legitimate, so it must be for a drug-related transaction. If you're doing this on behalf of an employer, your boss is going to be less than happy with you.
It depends on what this guy does for a living. If this guy is a taxi driver or 7-Eleven clerk, that kind of cash would be a huge flag. Otherwise, maybe not.
