Anthony - < re privacy - I filled out form> My wife deposited $10,000 cash last week at our local bank that has our mortgage, my check is automatically deposited, home equity loan saving and checking account. They made her feel like a criminal and upset my 8 month pregnant wife and the 2 year old was crying. They asked for her dirivers license, fill out a form. Enough of the Big Brother Bull! 8{ BellBoy

Anthony, This form that is filled out is used to stop money laundering from drug trafficers. I worked at a bank for approx. 4 years and had to fill this form out on a couple of people. Whenever someone places a cash transaction over $10,000.00 this form has to be filled out. We were told that the authorities we report to are close to a year behind in reviewing these forms though. We had two forms we could fill out, one for all over $10,000.00 transactions, and one for suspected criminal activity. As a bank employee, if one of these forms were not filled out, personally we could be arrested for abedding criminal activity. This has occurred in the past to others. Also, structuring transactions, like making 2 $5,000.00 cash transactions, is also illegal, for both the employee and customer. For the people who I had to fill the form out on, they knew what it was for and didn't really mind. I believe that for its intended purpose, it has its share of loopholes, and drug trafficers can get around it. Scott
