    US law requires any cash transaction of $10,000 or more be reported to the IRS/Treasury Dept. to include the federal tax ID # of both parties/entities, and the deposit accounts involved.

        Structurization.
        I know someone who worked in a software company that developed algorithms and systems for banks and gambling to detect these.

          Yep.

          Literally pulling out $9,999 instead of $10,000… that in and of itself is a crime, even if you’re not actually doing anything funny with it.

            Not necessarily, it’s a crime to deposit 9999 instead of 10 and not report. When I worked at a bank anyone who knew what they were doing and deposited 8-9k in cash got the form. People who found out and then did anything else? You get a form. People who walk out? They get a surprise notice from the fbi later.

            Basically if the bank thinks you might be close we just give you the form and you don’t get to say no anymore.
