  1. Wow. I'm glad that I opened this topic. I had no idea that the structuring itself was illegal EVEN if the funds are legit! I thought it was only a red flag for the possible crime of money laundering. But wait. Check this out. This seems to indicate that the anti structuring laws do NOT apply to wire transfers! Your opinion please. www.uslawexplained.com/structuring Structuring: The Ultimate Guide to the $10,000 Cash Reporting Rule [US Law Explained]
  2. Money laundering is breaking the law. Appearing to be structuring which could look like money laundering -- how is that breaking the law? I'm really asking. Looking like breaking the law isn't breaking the law is it? Again, if the source of funds is 100 percent legit and very easy for the bank and IRS to see that, what happens if it looks like structuring? So they take two minutes to look at the source of funds and the suspicion is resolved. Or do they literally make a "federal case" about a crime that never happened?
  3. Yeah I get that. Appearing to be structuring is definitely more of a red flag than going over 10K. As I said I just want to avoid any extra steps with my bank. I also agree the amounts I'm talking about are low over 10K a pop or not. Anyway, say structuring is suspected and the legal source of the funds is without question, so what if they do suspect? What will happen? Someone will look at the source funds (in my case I have no worries) or what exactly?
  4. Ugly old straight guys often have a bizarre tendency to way overinflate their appeal to gay men. Having a D functioning or not is not enough. Sure there are gay men who have no standards just like anyone else, but the vast majority are quite particular about what does it for them or not. Overly and oppressively so actually which can be brutal for gay men over 30 and/or not meeting with unreasonable body image expectations likely fueled by media and porn. www.michaelpezzullo.com/post/gay-men-body-image-a-therapist-s-perspective-on-insecurity-worth-and-healing The Reality: Gay Men & Body ImageLet’s be honest: gay men & body image are closely intertwined, largely because the culture of attraction among men is highly visual. Men—regardless of sexuality—are often more visually driven when it comes to attraction. When you place men in a dating culture with other men, physical appearance naturally becomes a central metric of desirability.
  5. Nah. It was a reflection on the human condition and the state of one man's digestive system.
  6. You've never had a surprise cheeky shart in your tighty whities?
  7. Yeah I get your point, which I why I said we all know the story but maybe this expanded four part tv version will shed further light and depth on the familiar story. It is certainly a very dark story for a children's book. Which is a way of saying that I'm sure the intended audience for this series is definitely not only children. www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/lord-of-the-flies-review-bbc-jack-thorne-david-mckenna-b2916414.html Lord of the Flies review – This bold, brilliant series will terrify parents as much as Adolescence
  8. On a more serious note, I hope that law enforcement doesn't go overboard trying to identify and arrest this guy. He already had a <deleted>ty day. No need to rub it in. Maybe a fine as a cleaning fee.
  9. Thanks. I'm not really concerned about the IRS. A little bit concerned about my bank. One time I did an over 10K and had extra security steps which annoyed me and the person basically admitted it's generally only for over 10K. I guess they also have an algorithm that would also trigger more scrutiny with 9K ish transfers done in a certain too short amount of time. But no way of knowing the details of that.
  10. In the U.S. there are almost ZERO cases of the voter fraud suggested by this topic. Why? Nnn citizens know it is a major crime to do so and calling attention to themselves like that is the last thing they want to do. Thus I consider this a baiting topic trying to add fuel to the false narrative that this is actually a problem. So no poll vote from me.
  11. Probably a good follow-up to The Plague. Four part UK tv series of Lord of the Flies has dropped. You know the story, or do you really?
  12. This is a bit of a banking nerd question. I would like to SWIFT transfer more than 10k but I know that means the U.S. bank needs to file a report to the IRS (not me) and also extra steps to verify (like a phone call). So I would rather to avoid that transfer under the threshold now (like 9800) and do additional under threshold transfers at later dates. Not right away. Most likely a delay of approximately three months. HOWEVER, might that be even worse and see as money structuring and subject to even more scrutiny? To be clear, this is legit money, not an attempt at money laundering, as if.
  13. No interest at all the game, but the show was fantastic. https://youtu.be/G6FuWd4wNd8?list=RDG6FuWd4wNd8 What's un-American about Spanish? The USA is the fourth leading Spanish speaking country in the world. What's un-American about Puerto Rico? Puerto Ricans though it must pain the maga fascists are U.S. citizens. Trump as usual a total white nationalist hate inciting ignoramous.
  14. Bingo. Trump only cares about Trump. He is very disgusting and a disaster for the USA.
  15. He's not bashing America. He's expressing objections to Trumpist maga fascism. Trumo is not the state.
  16. Vlad Vexler (sadly suffering a serious chronic health crisis) explains it all for you.
  17. Cause of death -- MURDER Alleged murderer -- JEFF BEZOS One of the greatest journalistic institutions on the planet with an incredible historical and global influence is finished. It's still going but it's previous function and capabilities have been erased by Bezos another vile corporate suck up to the anti democracy anti free press maga fascist president Trump. May as well be a suburban ad rag now. International correspondents -- FIRED Investigative journalism capability -- NOW NONEXISTANT Once great democratic institutions are destroyed in this case intentionally you can't just snap your fingers and get them back. They're gone forever. Personally I'm both sad and angry about this. I've been a Post reader since I learned to read. Yes I'm even a paid subscriber even though I know Bezos could fund it well in a few hours of his obscene profits.
  18. Yes. Poland is now very important. That changes a lot. Ukraine if it emerges as a sovereign European nation after the war will be a powerhouse as well.
  19. You debate like a toddler. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inanity
  20. Doubling down on the inanity. Talk about predictable.
  21. I totally agree. Happily, I don't use them for immigration though. I would also add to the you never know category; you never know what other banks will eventually do that is similarly offensive. Another reason in my book to not be closing accounts here and if you've got multiple ones as I do, hold on to them unless the bank itself forces closure.
  22. Do you realize how stupid your post is?
  23. No need but it's common courtesy. There is a commercial reason the forum exists but in a sense the MEMBER BASE is what they're selling, right? Also when there is planned outage they always announce that advance. Assuming this wasn't planned -- there was still a way to inform their users.
  24. Fair enough. In a sense I was speaking GENERALLY about accounts in general. I probably should have emphasized that. I say in GENERAL don't close them. I understand the issues with BB. I think quite horrible but in my situation , there have been no issues. I also at the time I was considering closing the BB account. I really had no need for it at that time and didn't imagine that I would need it later. That changed a lot. You never know.
  25. They're asking -- What the flippin' heck is going on over there?!?
