I have nothing to hide, and I would do the same thing. The Fed has no business how much money I withdraw from my account, and I imagine Rush feels the same.

Yeah, but Rush did have something to hide - a multiyear addiction to painkillers that he was apparently buying off the street, in violation of state and federal law.

[Frank_Discussion]

Oh, are you his lawyer? So you've got the inside scoop on the whole case? You've been party to Rush's tearful confession to such activity?

The story hasn't been told yet, y'know.

We all have something to hide, and Rush's money withdrawals may have been hiding something quite legitimate. If it's a legal use for the money, he has the right to keep it secret.

Please explain how this relates to the allegation of "money laundering".

Considering the street value for most of those pills (hydrocodone or oxycodone, not oxycontin) is a couple of dollars a pill, he wouldn't have needed tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy those drugs.

If a say, half assed two bit cybersexing, smearing sneaky attorney was spending his time during the day posting on the Internet while at the same time billing clients for "work" on their cases, and then sent a bill for said work thru the US mail would that constitute Mail Fraud?

[Pres Raygun]

Yeah, but Rush did have something to hide - a multiyear addiction to painkillers that he was apparently buying off the street, in violation of state and federal law.

Careful, Chancellor. I might remind you of the laws against libel. We don't want to expose FR and Jim Rob or yourself for that matter to a libel suit from Rush. Please stop repeating the unsubstatiated rumor that Rush obtained the painkillers illegally.

Most likely that is what Rush was doing with the money - his walking around money as I think he called it. It was up to the third party to "launder" it. He ought to have listened to the little bell in his head that rang when the bank told him he could safely withdrawal that much money in cash. That what debit and Visa debit/credit cards are for.
