Man, someone had a large set of nads at that bank! Can you imagine turning in the Governor of NY?
Yeah, I'd bet the person gets a thorough anal exam by the IRS soon.
They are required to do so by law.
“Man, someone had a large set of nads at that bank! Can you imagine turning in the Governor of NY?”
They just filled out a standard form that is required by law. Banks fill out these forms for everyone.
There are about 15 Republicans in New York. Perhaps one of them worked at Spitzer's bank?
If it was a Conservative then he/she is celebrating big time right now with complete utter joy and overwhelming satisfaction!
The staid then Bank of Boston, had the misfortune to promote a local woman as the manager of a branch in the "Italian" section of Boston as part of a community banking initiative.
The woman apparently ignored the cash reporting regulations for her organized crime connected neighbors. Weld swoops down and nails the bank for what was the largest banking fine ever at the time (~$500K, iirc).
Weld goes on to become MA Governor, and the bank goes on to be acquired, being tied up in knots by Weld's over zealous prosecution, unable to adapt to the changing banking scene in the 1980s.
So, I'm not surprised that a bank would want to avoid being the target of the next wannabe political appointee, especially when your bank may be linked to charges of illegalities, not to mention the possibility that questionable transfers my be linked to terrorists.
According to the article, Spitzer actually called the bank to request his name be taken off the transactions. Talk about raising suspicions, and that will look terrible if this goes to trial.
