I know some people that hoard cash and don't deposit it just to have some emergency stuff lying around. More than 10k+ easy. If they went to deposit it they wouldn't never be able to prove where they got it from. Just accumulation over time from random stuff, garage sales, online sales, bank withdrawals that weren't used etc. I thought in this country we were innocent until proven guilty. Proving were you got your own cash from seems rather ridiculous. It's mine, i'll deposit it. Unless you can prove I engaged in some sort of illegal activity wtf business is it to the banks where the cash came from? I'm sure there's some law or legislation but that doesn't make it right IMO. $10k? that's nothing in 2014. Maybe if you came into the bank with a duffle bag of ten million dollars or something like Miami in the 70s and 80s.
