A couple of years ago my wife went a away for a few week so I held onto the deposits till she got back, never had a chance to make it to the bank. There were 14 different deposits that totaled around $11,000. Bank made us fill out paperwork because it was over $10,000. I asked why, they were separate deposits, doesn't matter they said, you are depositing more than $10,000 in one day.

Well I think I told the story here about how two years ago I was in charge of our Cub Scout Popcorn Fundraiser. For some reason (most likely because I'm an idiot) I decided to hold onto all the cash and deposit at once. Well I went to the bank that morning and said that I would be making a sizable deposit that afternoon, and were there any issues? "How sizable?" was their question, at which point I told them $16k in cash and another $5-7k in checks. They said there would be no problems. I went back with my deposit, at which point they took it from me and then asked for my ID and SS#. Nothing ever came of it, but it was still disturbing, and it wasn't even my account.
Also, I was pissing my pants knowing that if I got pulled over on my way to the bank, that the cash would be confiscated and most likely never seen again. I was much smarter this year with my fundraiser deposits.

See, while I still disagree with the law, etc., after reading the article, it seems he was breaking the law. He was purposely avoiding the 10k threshold for reporting.
But I do find it ironic that these laws against money laundering, etc. are forcing law abiding citizens to actually launder money, and act like criminals.

Laundering? that's not laundering.
Willfully keeping cash deposits under $10,000 to avoid such reporting requirements is known as “structuring,” and is illegal.
He was simply trying to stay under what the govt dictates is a large cash deposit imo, as long as his tax returns and receipts supports the deposits, who gives a rats ass, other than the feds of course.
