Wait, you never taken money from the bank and filled tub and laid i it and just return it the next day?

definitely doing this once i have saved enough to fill a tub with 100s.

or at least 1s with a layer of 100s on top 😀

I just wired myself a few grand at a time. Fed can knock on my door all he wants.

With that much cash at hand I'd start a business. Then just put the money you make from the business into the other account. 😛

No matter what method you use though, I would do it in small increments over a period of time. Doing it in one shot is bound to raise some kind of flags, and the government will probably try to find an excuse to tax you on it, or think you are a drug dealer or something.

I have wire transferred 7 figure amounts between banks from my business account without a problem. I think you might have to actually get out chair and talk to your bank.

No it won't, stop being ignorant.

I post questions that I know internet would know best (what song is this? tell me about diamonds, etc).

If I was in your situation, the first thing I would do is to pick up the damn phone and dial my bank and get legit straight answers. WOW a 4 minute phone call!

Why would you resort to internet on this? They have no way of knowing what your bank is, the type of account, all the little details.

Yeah, withdrawl or deposit large amounts of cash in increments under 10,000 so you don't draw any attention or flags!

Oh wait, that is what would generate a suspicious activity form instead of just moving it all at once and is actually illegal. Moving money around is done constantly in amounts that boggle your mind. It's only when cash is involved that the IRS/FEDs are notified.

Ah yes, I remember when I was 17, transferring large sums of money between banks was so much easier!
We didn't have the internet then to (cough) "brag" about doing so either.
