I think that large movements of money (used to be anything over $10,000 which from the story, that may have changed recently) trigger what used to be a "War Against Drugs" thing that the FBI used to be in charge of, under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO Act). Maybe it's now under Homeland Security now? Anyway, I ran across this situation about two years ago when I began making substantial payments on past due debts amassed from a relationship that went South. Essentially it was OK once they'd figured out that while substantial that the aggregate of the payments was still a sizeable but fractional amount of my compensation. I had a similar situation back when I hocked everything we owned during Andie's battle with Cancer to make $25k at a pop hospital bills and again when Sharon fought her battle with malignant carcinoma which ran over $75k after what the insurance covered in just a bit over a year and a half. Which is to say, it's not news per se although that its Homeland Security and not FBI is a bit of a

Nope, FBI is under DOJ, they work for Abu Gonzalez. DHS is Chertoff and his band of merry fuckups.
Seems to me that this kind of policy is a presumption of guilt and a violation of constitutional rights.
And, I wonder, if spending this much money is a red flag, do those corporate CEOs that make 250 million a year have DHS guys following them around making sure they're not running drugs or financing terrorists every time they drop 10,000 on a pair of shoes?

I found out about the $10,000 thing from a friend of mine who was a self made millionaire who when I told him about what had happened to me, regarding the cancer bills. He told me about the $10,000 thing. Although, he also told me that after an undetermined period, they figured out that he wasn't a racketeer or corrupt organization although when he told me of being questioned for buying a Lincoln Town Car with cash when traveling to Winnemuca once on business for a mutual friend's trust we both were on the board of. That was in the 1980s. So it's not a 9-11 related thing, rather it just may have shifted from FBI to Homeland Security. Although, what agency within Homeland Security performs investigations for it?
