Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I mean. People who are not engaged in illegal financial games will have nothing to fear from this new law.
I deposited more that $10k cash on several occasions. Someone may have investigated what I was up to. If they did, I never heard about it. If they did it is okay with me.
You're just not getting it. The real question is not why do people fear the law if they have nothing to hide? It's why does the government fear the citizens if it means them no harm?
Why is no one asking this?
