So, this guy at work was in a car accident awhile back. The other day he got the check from the insurance company. It was a fairly sizable check (over $20k he said) and since the bank was already closed, he didn't want to leaveit around the house overnight so he deposited it thru the ATM. Yesterday, he got a letter from B of A telling him the funds were all hold because the deposit was over $5,000. Let me see if I have this straight, , , the money is on hold [/list:u]BECAUSE HE DEPOSITED TOO MUCH!!!! :headscratch: :bonk: :crazy:

That happens quite often with larger deposits.....man, that's bold....I'm not sure I would deposit such a large check at the ATM....I'd be too afraid they bank would f*ck up. :sweat:

Actually it's the same for cash too. If you make a deposit over $5000, they'll freeze it or will ask questions. You may end up in the manager's office, if you look suspicious or have a big amount. It's a security layer to prevent money laundering.

Unless it's a certified check, you won't be able to touch the money for a week or two. Even if you go to the counter, it's the same thing. Especially if you give the clerk $50K in $20 in a brown paper bag. :hehe:

It's funny cuz I recently saw a National Geographic documentary on the Miami drug trade and they talked about how the laws changed regarding deposits because of what you said....money laundering.....ppl would walk into the banks in Miami with millions in cash stuffed in bags...and before the laws changed the banks wouldn't report it.

Exactly. Now, you need to go through a corrupted lawyer, bank manager, fake bills... to do it. Or make a deposit in the Caribbean or Switzerland.

They don't care where the money comes from. They know it's dirty, so they just ask for a bigger cut. :rolleyes:

Good idea. Good for health. If you mix it with kimchi and beer, you can use its fumes to power entire cities.

Yup. Much better than ethanol. Make sure you have ample supplies. The UN security council wants to ban it. Heavy natto can be use to make nuclear bombs. :P
