look up the banking secrecy act and the patriot act.


Yes they have to report it.

No 'reporting' it not an issue - they are looking for terrorist financing or money laundering - not everyday people's one off transactions.

BUT Yes you are committing a crime if you alter your payments to avoid reporting limits though (regardless if its for an innocent purpose) - thats called structuring!

It's only "structuring" if it's cash. Manipulating wires is as bad, and won't do yourself any favours, but it isn't per se structuring.

That's not what I've been taught, and I only deal with wires, not cash.

(I don't expect I have been taught the law, just how to interpret it)
