Who reported these lower value deposits???
What really burns my biscuits about this whole thing is that there is not enough probable cause for law enforcement to do ANYTHING that impacts the people’s lives. The deposits can raise suspicion and cause an investigation to see if there is any “there” there. But to preemptively seize people’s assets is draconian.
It started with the 55 mph speed limit and has only gotten worse. The government is the enemy. Kinda sad, really.
Reporting lower values?
If the bank sees you consistently less than the limit, they can (not sure if must), report that as suspicious.
