Taking $200 Out of an ATM Should Not Trigger Federal Financial Surveillance

One of President Donald Trump's Day 1 executive orders designated "certain international cartels" as "foreign terrorist organizations," a classification that according to the State Department "play[s] a critical role in our fight against terrorism and [is] an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business."

    That $10k number was created a long time ago, adjusted for inflation, its over $260k today, so no cash transaction under a quarter million dollars should trigger anything.

    Bad now, wait till digital currency is the only game in town. The European Central Bank assholes just announced full steam ahead on it.

      We won't have it until the Fed has reached the end of their rural broadband project. Not sure when the end is scheduled to occur, but it is a real project of theirs.

    According to the article, it's not $200+ ATM withdrawals that trigger the surveillance, but money transfers like Western Union, MoneyGram, etc. I'm not a fan of government surveillance of any sort, but the post title seems to present an inaccurate picture of the situation reported..

      they are technically also subject to the CTR threshold—meaning a $200 cash withdrawal in one of seven counties could soon make one subject to a federal financial report.

    Total Bullshit. Trump is no different than the rest. Freedom for American citizens is just a nice thought.

    The argument for keeping your money outside their system gets easier by the day.

    Nor should taking your money out of your bank account.

    The CTA / FinCen is why I terminated my business. I literally learned about it from a conspiracy -- AHEM -- factual news website because of how poorly it was announced.

    $200 today, $300 tomorrow, $200 again the next day... that's not a money laundering pattern, that's a drug habit pattern. I know because when The Tenant From Hell abandoned her filthy digs, she left behind bank statements with that kind of history.
