Does this make sense to you?
Does your question make sense to you?(Vague questions get aswered with more vague questions)
Actually, the customer is not liable in such a case, the banker is. The specific violation is recommending that the customer structure transactions to deliberately avoid the reporting requirements.
Am I entitled to admire a man without being accused of worshiping him? Exaggerating a person's opinion is a horribly dishonest way to attempt to win a debate.
He is an entertainer, he does schtick on the radio. He is a DJ that found the right schtick and he started to believe in it when he started making some dough.
Not according to those that know him. He grew up in an extremely conservative household in Cape Girardeau. His father was an attorney who impressed his conservative ideology on Rush at a very young age, according to all the sources I could find.
And who are you to decide for another where his heart is? Do you have some special talent to see into another's soul that the rest of us lack?
But then, Rush forgot what the real world was, he spent his time surrounded by sycophantic yes men, flew in private jets and chauffered limos around town, started hanging out with the beautiful people
My goodness. This sounds more like the class-envy 'hating the rich' speech I have learned to expect from liberals. Certainly you have not succumbed to such a deadly sin.
and became a junkie, all the while lying to his adoring but blind fans. Now he is spinning again to keep his butt out of prison. I hope he recovers, but I can't believe a damn thing this guy says.
Then never believe anything I say ever again, and hold me in equal contempt, for I am a recovering cocaine addict.
When you discard people for such things, you yourself appear smaller -- not Rush. Not myself.
Only people who do NOT address their addictions can be faulted, called morally weak, and 'discarded'. Those of us who are overcoming these problems are much stronger and certainly of great value to society.
I find that Rush's contributions to the conservative cause are strong and valuable. I will not throw him under the bus. You may if you wish, but it does not reflect well upon you.
It was said in an article above that part of the Rx's were for niacin for his cholesterol.
I said that it seemed odd or something to that effect that there was an Rx for niacin since my doctor just told me I could go buy it over the counter to lower my cholesterol.
I politely told her "NO" since niacin causes people to have hot flashes."
Doctors don't always provide patients with the meds needed to stop their suffering.
Ask relatives of people who've had family members dying of cancer how difficult it can be sometimes to get the Doctors to give them the meds they need to even sleep at night.
As for what you think of me, don't trot out all your crap about me, you or I are not the subjects of this debate, the subject is the fact that so many around here refuse to see that Rush has hoodwinked them all along, and they still blindly follow him. But god forbid that a powerful liberal be an addict, they would be riding on them all the time.
The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a plastic knife...
BTW, I never believed anything you said here when you were using...:)
With all due respect, that was not bull and not cya, that is the law. Every bank officer in the country is required to be trained on this and sign a form that they have received this training. I think all this is part and parcel of banks having insurance provided by the FDIC; you want your deposits to have insurance backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, we have to submit to some (sometimes onerous) regulations.
If you are borrowing money, we are obligated to find out what you plan on doing with it since that impacts the probability of it being repaid. If you are depositing money, we are required to take some steps to determine where it came from. Thus far, those requirements are pretty light - we just have to make sure you are not on a "known bad guy" list. The only type of transaction we really do not care too much about is if you are withdrawing your own money; there we only have to report if you are taking large amounts of cash.
There seems to be quite a few posters who are upset at Rush's finances here on these threads. Several snide remarks about his money, limos, mansions etc. I thought that was odd. Bless you Laz, you are a class act..
I suspect there is an 'issue' here.
Have you listened to Rush any since he returned?
No argument here! However, advising someone to break the law (no matter how goofy that law may be) is generally not a good idea, especially in an industry as tightly regulated as banking.
I have a feeling there is also. In fact before the drug issue became known I mentioned to my husband that I felt something was wrong because all of a sudden Rush quit talking about Marta.
If they do accuse Rish of something, wouldn't the law have to go after all the other entertainers in Hollywood for their illegal drug abuse and rehab as well?
FOX reported 2,000,000 people got addicted to this stuff by doctors when this story first broke.
I hope to become one myself. Will I expect that you will dump me out the window when I am?
and you are blinded by your shared politics to see that he has been flim-flamming you.
I know he was flim-flamming people, myself included. People in active addiction do that. While it does not thrill me, I understand it, and as long as he truly embraces recovery, I have no lasting anger at it. I would only be upset if I were to find that THIS RECOVERY is faked.
So, given that, I don't trust the guy, I think he is an opportunist and a BS artist.
I think that people who have been there, who have been addicted and are now in recovery understand the active addict better. We lie to use. It's what we do.
I would no sooner condemn Rush for the very behavior I exhibited, as pull out my eyes.
Rush can recover, and I will not condemn him now for his active addiction then.
That is not very many pills if it includes all of the above mentioned. My husband takes that many.
Heck, that's sounds normal! I know a lady who claims to be "too nervious to work" who said about a week ago she takes 11 pills a day for "nerves."
I can imagine what she'd take if she had back surgery! 100?
I had no idea Limbaugh took so little.
The press made it sound like much more than that. I'm suprised how they blew it that far out of perportion - even for the press.
Though, if you do pull out your eyes, you'll find the cluster of connective tissue and nerves closely resemble Ramen noodles.
