The numerous incidents on Boeing aircraft in the past three months reflect the drive of the company’s executives to maximize profits for stockholders to the detriment of safety on its fleet of commercial airliners.
Man makes an enemy of a large company, man tells friends and family that he would not commit suicide and not to believe that in case he dies, man dies… Coroner yup, that’s totally a suicide while counting a large stack of 50s…
Because larger denominations are harder to spend in stores, and depositing a large amount, without a plausible story, will get scrutinized and/or flagged for the tax authorities. At least with European banking laws, I can’t speak for US laws.
It’s called structuring, their systems flag it automatically for the most part. The easiest way to get caught is multiple deposits under 10k in a couple days but there are lots of patterns. Criminals think they found a loophole and then get deadass caught because the real rules are more subtle.
The definition of structuring states, “a person structures a transaction if that person, acting alone, or in conjunction with, or on behalf of, other persons, conducts or attempts to conduct one or more transactions in currency in any amount, at one or more financial institutions, on one or more days, in any manner, for the purpose of evading the [CTR filing requirements].” “In any manner” includes, but is not limited to, breaking down a single currency sum exceeding $10,000 into smaller amounts that may be conducted as a series of transactions at or less than $10,000. The transactions need not exceed the $10,000 CTR filing threshold at any one bank on any single day in order to constitute structuring.
AML investigations and fines are a bitch, they definitely do care. However, I think it’s basically automated at this point. Tellers or even bank managers aren’t making spot judgement calls.

Why 50s?

Thats not the case in the US. You only trigger additional processes if you deposit >$10,000
Its true that the EU is much more of a PIA with cash
banks also watch for people trying to stay just under that 10k limit, the govt. wants its cut
Nah, that’s more work for them.
