You claimed that he had “no credible reason” to have a large amount of cash. Yet, the article stated that he was going to purchase property. Since when is it illegal to purchase anything with cash?
Theres a difference between credible and legal. No one said it was illegal to carry that amount of cash, but for those individuals to do that they did was - as I said not wise, prudent or smart.
Look at each and every comment on this thread. While we all agree these morons had a legal right to do what they did, not a single solitary FReeper has claimed that they too would also drive around the country with $48,000 in cash because the real estate deal fell through.
