What stuck out to me is: no blank checks if I have more than $10,000 in my account. Did I read that correctly?
No.
What about one’s safe in his/her house? I thought this was just if traveling? We bring about 10-12 K to Vegas once a year if our health permits us to get through the airports plus the 4 hour flight. Sadly, my wife’s health has been bad since 2008. We last went in 2013.
No “Bearer” checks over $10K (checks made out to “Bearer” or “Cash”...no endorsement/ID needed, anyone can cash it).
Good luck tracking encrypted cryptocurrency wallet files Mr. FedGov...there are dozens of types out there besides Bitcoin and pretty much all of them are untraceable if the hash address is used only once.
