O.T. - Tips on living under US currency conrtols.

[R_J_]

I drove down to the bank at the bottom of the hill last week.
Its doors were closed, due to Wuhan, but the drive through was still open.
I had called to have them meet me at the door to let me in, but they said no.
The manager seemed away.
With the hundreds of thousands dollars deposited, shouldn’t I expect to be treated special?
-
-
There has been much scuttlebutt going around that we may be forced into a digital currency soon.
Harvard University published a paper to do away with the hundred-dollar bill, probably the first step. IHMO, this is simply evil.
Therefor, I accumulate stacks US$50 bills rather than $100 bills.
-
-
Anyway, I had not been to the bank in six months, partly due to the Wuhan shutdown.
I had 13 large checks stacked up, and some were about to expire, several had already expired.
I was also a little spoofed that a ‘Bank Holiday’ may be on the horizon and I should get some cash out while I still could.
-
-
Actually we are under currency controls.
An US$10,000 movement requires the bank to file a treasury report.
Actually, it is quite difficult for me to move my money.
I try to keep it under US$5,000 to keep it under the radar.
Actually it is dangerous to do this, as you could be charged with ‘structuring’.
‘Structuring’ is when you make multiple transaction to accomplish an US$10,000 movement to avoid a treasury report. The fine for doing this is US$10,000 and ten years in prison.
The state does not consider avoiding currency controls as trivial as tearing down a statue of Gorge Washington.
Likewise is the fine for crossing a border with US$10,000 without permission from the treasury.
Actually, if you drive down the road with US$10,000 in your car, it can be confiscated, ‘Civil Asset Forfeiture’. To get it back, you have to prove that you have been involved in a crime, or prove that there is not an invisible pink elephant in the room.
This action, crime, is a fun slush fund for our sociopathic criminal police forces.

-
I have mentioned before that it is difficult to me to move capital around.
It could take a year to engineer moving it from one place to another without alerting the Treasury.
-
-
So I went to the bank’s drive-through window to make a deposit and ask for a wrapper of fifty dollar bills as the cash back portion. That is 100 fifty-dollar bills [$5,000] in a tight wrapper.
I expected them to make me jump through hoops, but it just came to me through the pneumatic  tube.
Thankfully there were three stations in the drive through, I wanted to count the money to see if it was all there. But I loved that wrapper, it was so cool.
It was very difficult to count a hundred bills through that tight wrapper.
The bills trended to stick together, I tried several times.
I finally, sadly, gave up and removed them from the wrapper and counted out ten piles of ten bills on the dashboard.
-
The reason that I am posting this, is to share a trick that I discovered.
-
If you put the hundred bills in a neat stack, and fold them in half, lengthwise, they will go back into the wrapper.
You can save yourself a lot of trouble by doing this.
-
The wrapper looks just as crisp and neat as before the bills were taken out.
I was so happy.  The wrapper is currently under my pillow.
-
Next month, I will make another deposit transaction and do this again.

I really don't know why I found your short story so fascinating but I did RJ. I agree, the government is diabolical.

Morons are easily fascinated 52. I bet you signed up for the class action.  Mack the knife

[peep2]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RJ I am trying to visualize this. :) You take the 100 bills out of the wrapper. I guess cutting carefully one side of the length long wrapper and lift up the cut rectengal flap and wiggle the 100 $50 bills out very carefully, as not to break the wrapper. So after

When I took the bills out of the wrapper, I pulled some out from the middle, the rest came out easy, the wrapper was not damaged. - It was putting the back in the wrapper that was surprising, amazing, and fun. Think of a slice of American cheese with a two-inch wide wrapper around it. If you were to roll the slice of cheese, keeping the wrapper straight, there would be an excess of room in the

[MackJicholson]

I have no problem moving $10000 and much more around RJ. And dont care if Rev Can looks into it because Im legit. So your gains I assume are ill gotten. Under the table black money. So my guess is that you are a drug pusher. To each his own. Mack not impressed though

- “And don’t care if Rev Can looks into it because Im legit.” According to the Ideology of the American Revolution, to defy the State is an act of Patriotism.

Its all trash RJ. Stick to gold. H

- I have become curious as to a seeming KL Bullboard hangup. Has this “Stockhouse @ the Bell” screwed things up? There have been no KL posts for more than 36 Hrs. Will this post get through? [RJ: I see The Wolff has posted while I was writing this, but I think I will post in anyway.] - “It’s all trash RJ. Stick to gold.” Is this precious advice? - Other than Innovative Industrial Properties IIRP

Almost as a joke, in this previous post on Sunday, we put in a stink bid. - Shockingly, the overbought S&P 500 actually corrected more than 3% this morning. - Bonk! That ‘joke’ stink bid just got executed. We just surprisingly found out that we are the owners of 100,000 shares of that two-week ago listed ‘Magic Mushroom’ psychedelic, psilocybin company: Better Plant Sciences / NeonMind

[Harmoniica]

Knock yourself out RJ.  I will stick to gold. H

[Harmoniica]

Weed, mushrooms, not good for the brain eh. Bonnie wont want you if youre brain dead. Stick to gold. H

[Goldbug52]

Booze not good for the brain either! With your history of boozing, you've probably killed off 99% of your brain cells already! Undoubtedly TA is still with you cause of all that money you probably inherited :-))!

[Harmoniica]

Even with 99% killed off Im still smarter than you though toad:) H

[Harmoniica]

Pops is still shuffling about btw. I have him mostly in treasuries. Yes, hes loaded. Sorry. H

I just e-mailed Bonnie that we just acquired 100,000 shares, for C$8,400, of that two-week ago listed ‘Magic Mushroom’ psychedelic, psilocybin company: Better Plant Sciences / NeonMind Biosciences Inc. [ Now it is our 16th largest holding. ] - In that e-mail, I also included the following caution that I received above. - “Weed, mushrooms, not good for the brain eh. Bonnie wont want you if you’re

- "I told you I have your $5000." ~ Peep2 - I thought you were pulling my leg. - However, after finishing my last post, I looked at my night-stand, and there, as plain as day, just behind the telephone, was that wrapper of $5000 dollars worth of $50 bills. - In panic, I have totally cleaned off the night-stand several times. The wrapper was not there. It has been missing for several

DOP (dissapearing onject phenomena) is very real and I had a series of it too a few years ago https://duckduckgo.com/?q=DOP+-+disappearing+object+phenomena&t=vivaldi&ia=web
