Max W Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 What the beaurocrats at the IRS & DOJ was one of the most egregious things done against American citizens since the internment of Japanese-Americans in WWII. But is not without precent with the IRS. Prior to the Tapayers Bill of Rights (1999?), the IRS threatened and harassed taxpayers who were delinquent in paying their taxes. Even elderly people had their homes seized, Calls were made in the middle of the night, auditors threatened and lied to people using soviet style tactics. Beaurocratic abuse is not confined to the IRS, EPA overreached on the Inland Waterways act and threatened $10,000/day fines to farmers who had draainage ditches, or ponds the EPA inspectors claimed came under their purview. I am sure that there have been many other abuses. 2 Quote

Abby Normal Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 The banker should not have been lazy and just filled out the form. It looks more suspicious to deposit less than 10k repeatedly than to just deposit what you actually made. Quote

It looks more suspicious to deposit less than 10k repeatedly than to just deposit what you actually made. The banker should be sued by the farmer. They knew the requirements of the law and put the farmer in harm's way by intentionally circumventing the law, and asking the farmer (unknowingly) to do the same. I deal with this issue every day in my day job. We go through annual training on Anti-Money Laundering and the Bank Secrecy Act. Every bank teller is required to go through the training as well. They knew what they were telling the customer was against the law, and they should be held responsible for their actions. It caused that man harm. Getting down from my lofty tower now.
