While rest of us get get flagged for feds when we want to do something with 9k dollars because it close enough to 10k 🤡

Isn't that $9k limit against pure cash deposits? As in an ACH, wire transfer or even old school paper cheque would be fine, but untraceable cash of $9k raises the eyebrows of regulators.

9k cash aint that much money nowadays...

But you are correct. I dont think 9k ach transfer would trigger SAR but god for forbid plebs use cash to buy a usef car 🤡

Where are you getting multiple handfuls of $9k in cash (and you aren't a cash operating business which don't apply) that you are running into this as a problem?

Bootlicker 🤡

You're creating your own problem, complaining about it, and somehow that's my fault? If this is your regular pattern, I bet your life is a mess and you have no idea why.
