Let’s say you make two transactions of 7500 each. This could be construed as money laundering since you didn’t provide the bank with documentation required for transactions over $10k

But why should transactions over $10k require such documentation in the first place?

I don't think transactions over $10k should require such documentation

What business is it of the government if I have a bank account in Singapore, Australia, or Liechtenstein? I mean, why is the presumption be that I’m trying to avoid taxes and I have to prove otherwise?

money laundering is a serious problem

This is the sort of crap that the govt considers money laundering. It’s oppressive to ordinary people that just want freedom and privacy

freedom and privacy from what?

The government, Facebook, Google, whoever. Yes it is a problem. Is the solution to give up our privacy and freedom so the govt can

“Solve” the problem for us?

Look at how the FBI misused its power to prevent PDJT from becoming President. Why wouldn’t they be similarly abusive of their power with me and you?

ur suggestions on combatting

i agree the FBI and DOJ top officials did just that under the obama admin and they need to be held accountable

the top brass at the FBI and DOJ r traitors

and will be dealt with soon

There's a balance between freedom and security. The streets would be safer if there were an 11 PM curfew for everyone, and if we were all required to wear helmets. This is an absurd example but to bring it back to the original point, I think Singapore is closer to the proper balance than the US on economic freedom. I can't speak to the issue of pedophilia in SG; I haven't looked into this at all.

so you would give up freedom for security, if so u deserve niether

just the opposite. Singapore is more free than the US economically. Much freer.

thats bullshit

if so why don't u move to singapor

i have a bank account there

but NYC is home, and it's a more fun place to live than singapore, despite being a liberal shithole in many ways

In my SG bank account, I can move money between 12 currencies instantly, buy gold & silver on leverage, etc. Just an ordinary bank account

so what do u think caused the ratings for the USA? it was liberalism

Exactly. RINOs like McCain, Paul Oxley (of Sarbanes-Oxley fame) and even GWB going along with it

NYC run by liberals is why it is a shithole just like Chicago and LA and every where liberals r in charge

Yes, and they are worse than liberals here. They are progressives/communists

I live in Pa where liberals r turning it into a shithole

They don't hide it either. It's right out in the open.

Fortunately, it is pushing the right into forming its own countercultre

and NYC mayor comrade Deblasio is a commie

just like gov wolf

and cuomo

they are all horrible, and unfortunately Cuomo will easily win re-election. The GOP put up a candidate (Molinaro) who sounds just like Cuomo.

Same with the NY Atty General candidate Tish James who has called herself a socialist outright

liberals have been turning the USA into a shithole for decades

A major cause of this is college-educated single women. They are Life of Julia NPCs when it comes to voting.

why r the citizens of NY so gullible?

the colleges r a bastion of communists

nothing is free and the people of these liberal states don't understand they r being used. usefull idiots

It's a paradoxical element of human nature I think, to be ungrateful. The endowment effect- people just assume the prosperity that was generated by freedom will continue no matter what. In NYC they see the enormous contrasts of rich vs poor and think that capital, ideas, wealth are just being "hoarded" and kept from the masses. They think the rich exist only because the poor are being oppressed
