Garb has the law wrong. Amounts under 10,000 must be reported if it is a pattern and practice, and it is also illegal for a bank to advise what the limit is, and they must report anyone who asks what the limit is. Thus the bank Rush used was charged with violations, and had, per Rush, to pay a 10 million dollar fine.

I know that. Rush even discussed banking and IRS regulations on his program today. I'm too tired to hit the fine points but I thank you for you doing so. :)

It is not illegal to advise the limits. Where? My banks have little pamphlets that advise on this reporting manure.

The under 10,000 is discretionary and the law has exemptions. Like if the transaction are for good purpose known to the bank. IE, personal paycheck. How many transactions were there? How many were 9900? were they at the exact time and date? (like a paycheck)

This is another trial by absense of information. Using money to buy drugs illegally is not illegal. ???? BUY DRUGS ILLEGALLY is illegal. To date there is no admissible proof that Rush bought any pills illegally. This may change, but cases have to be tried in court not DNC hit pieces.

Could this be the Maid's lawyer (aka FOB and McAuful) trying to smear rush to avoid some florida mandatory minimum sentence for dealing drugs?

Ok now define "pattern and practice" in some objective manner - "structuring" is nothing but a word for whether or not you're on a government s-list. As you point out, we proles aren't even supposed to know when we're breaking the law or how to comply with the law. If we ask, we have to be reported to the government.
