I wonder how many times this was done and someone wasn't caught?

Jesus :madfawk:

I don't see the problem honestly

you don't see the problem with stealing taxpayer money? :eh:

Congress do it on a daily basis.

Honestly in that situation I don't at all. I mean pallets of cash is bound to be misused by someone and I would rather someone over putting their life at risk steal it then the usual senators and congressmen stealing it.

Call me what you like but I see no issue here except that he got caught.

i don't see the problem with the money itself. i mean the guy wasnt in a position where he could siphon money directly from the money being sent to iraq. he had no direct contact with it from what i read.

i do have a problem with him trying to skirt the system so he didnt have to report the money and not pay taxes.

the only real reason the government is going after this is because he didnt pay his taxes on teh money. simple as that, the greedy assholes want their cut and since he didnt share they are gonna fuck him.

He claims to have done that to avoid taxes, however that isn't why people do that. Anything deposited over $10K in cash requires a CTR - Currency Transaction Report. It's basically a report detailing where the money is coming from. Tellers also have the ability to fill out a SAR - Suspicious Activity Report. Any time a cash deposit of $3K or more is made and is deemed suspicious by the bank, they must fill out a report about the funds.

bound to be misused doesnt mean its ok to do it
i was expecting a better argument than this bs

is this really what you think of the government? are they really trying to fuck you that hard?

its pretty ridiculous how some of you guys are all pro military and then say the government is greedy, well no shit wonder why :rolleyes:

regardless, the asshole stole a bunch of money, or at least it looks like he did
he should be punished accordingly
if it isnt a big deal, then stealing wouldnt be illegal

right i know about the over so much filling the form BUT he sent the money through fedex without reporting it, he was probably doing it for the reason like you are saying but he also was doing it so he didnt have to pay taxes on it.

its got to be money he made through shady means that he didnt want to tell anyone about and paying taxes would have alerted someone.

like i said, the whole reason the govt has so many branches going after this is because they got shafted and didnt get their share. they'll spend a half mil to figure out why this guy didnt pay taxes on 150k

The ironing.
