I bought mine in cash. It was a little weird taking it out at the bank but surprisingly they let me have it all at once. The guy was really confused when I told him what I was buying with it though lol.
And it's absolutely hilarious that someone's bank told them to obfuscate deposits via structuring. That's gotten a lot of people in trouble even if the money is legally yours and not related to a crime.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:It blows my mind you guys can't email each other money (e-transfer). Once it's sent and accepted that's it. There's no way to reverse it. You'd think big US banks would be all over that by now. (Attaching fees to each transaction and making more profits)
My dad did a LOT of work to get the banks all on board with this when it was originally Certapay and up until Interac bought them out. We've had e-mail money transfer for probably 12 or 13 years now and it really is one of the most convenient things in modern banking for sure.
Quoted from EJS:There were some pleas to get rid of the 50 and 100 a few years ago because they claimed they were mostly used for criminal activity. Bad logic and obviously didn’t stick. So we haven’t been thinking in that direction.
Everyone knows cocaine is way better the larger the denomination you snort it with
Quoted from JT-Pinball:So... I saw someone saw that PayPal had claw back? Is this only if you have or add purchase protection? I have used PayPal to buy sell games several times. This said I have not read thru there terms of service. I’m pretty sure that if you send the money friends and family and it’s accepted buy the party receiving the transfer it is unequivocally!
Most of my career has been commercial title insurance, commercial real estate. Wire transfer is the standard in the industry for moving money. I have news for you guys.....Wire transfer can be reversed!!!!
On paypal the buyer has a crazy amount of leeway to get their money back. There are many sellers who won't go through paypal for this very reason, clearly fraudulent returns,
Apparently doing it as a friend or family avoids this. business transactions are subject to their rules though and that means almost always siding with the buyer.
In case there is anyone left who hasn't seen this, this is a law professor explaining why you NEVER talk to the police. you can be 100% innocent and talk yourself into charges for something you never did, and it happens way more often than you'd think.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:I've watched that before and it's worth the 45 minutes of your time. It's not only a law professor telling you to never talk to the police, but also the police tell you to never talk to the police.
Yeah it's been a while since I watched it but I believe the cop says that if you're driving a car and he wanted to pull you over he just had to follow you for a while and inevitably you will break a law.
Another great one is the JCS channel on youtube.

He does mini-doc style videos about interrogations and shows how good the cops are at getting people to give themselves up.
Sometimes I wish it was more like that around here! $200 and on your way is a lot less of a headache than some of the court situations you can find yourself in. Especially if there is corruption involved. But I'd probably end up regretting that wish in reality.
Quoted from Betelgeuse:[quoted image]
lol, I probably watch too much innocence project stuff but the idea of being caught up in a corrupt court sounds so much harder to deal with than just being able to pay some money on the road and go on your way.
The flaw in this logic is thinking that the courts will somehow not be corrupt in places where you can pay off the cops. But even then, having the option to pay your way out of it still seems preferable to serving life in prison for something that you didn't do and which the state has proof that you didn't do it but refuses to enter it into the courts or allow you to appeal. This has happened quite a few times, where DNA evidence that would exonerate someone exists but isn't allowed to be brought to court
