See in clause (1) where it says, "cause or attempt to cause a domestic financial institution to fail to file a report required under section 5313(a)"? See the words "attempt to cause"? Now go back to EBD's original post. See where he said "Report of Suspicious Transaction"? See the errors in your argument above? Good.
Here's a somewhat related post I saw on alt.revenge: ]From: dastuart@mail.entrsft.com ]Newsgroups: alt.revenge ]Subject: Re: Car salesmen and dealerships ]Message-ID: <N.122496.022320.78@entrsft.com> ]Date: Tue, 24 Dec 96 07:23:20 GMT ... ] I remember once, my ex had a problem with a furniture store in ]Fayetteville, NC as they were rude to her on the phone and hung up, she called ]the manager to complain and he was just as rude. ] ] Wellllllllll.... that didn't set too well with her so she (& I) went down ]the next day to make her monthly payment. She was so upset, that she decided to ]pay the last three payments and get rid of them permanently. The previous day ]she withdrew the money from the bank, @ $120.00 ($40.00 per payment). ] ] We walked in the store that FRIDAY at 5:15 (they close at 5:30) she went ]ahead of me to the back of the store where they receive pymnts and announced ]that she was totally pi**ed with the attitude of the employees (explained what ]had happened) and that she wanted to pay them off and would not do business ]with them anymore. She asked for and got the finally pay off as I walked ]towards her and placed the money on the counter. ] ] As I did..... (did I mention that the $120.00 was in UNROLLED PENNIES ?) ]all hell broke lose, the cashier said that they had to be rolled. Rhonda told ]her that she would not and as a matter of fact she spent an hour unrolling ]them. (it took that long because as we did, we replaced the "wheaties" with ]regular pennies) and asked her if she was refusing payment. ] ] She called the manager on the phone and came back smugly and said , no we ]are not refusing payment, we are refusing the form of payment, Rhonda said, ]regardless of the 'form' it is US currency and legal. Not a check which you ]have the option to accept or not. ] ] She again called the manager and he came back there. Going through this ]again with him, Rhonda said, Now I ask you one more time, regardless of the ]form of payment, this is it, will you accept it or not? If not, then I will ]consider my debt paid in full. ] ] Finally he agreed to accept it. She told him that she thought that there ]was exactly $120.00 there but wanted him to count it to make sure, because she ]didn't want to short change his company and if there was a penny extra was ]damned if they were going to get it. She went on with him for another round, ]finally he agreed, that they would count it and she could pick up her receipt ]tomorrow. ] ] Tomorrow, hell no, I come 25 miles to pay this off and I am not going home ]without a receipt. The bottom line is that they wanted to get home, and didn't ]want to mess with this. ] ] She stated that her debt was considered "PAID IN FULL" and that if they ]wanted to sue her that they could take her to small claims court, and if they ]did, she would appeal the decision if it were not in her favor to a higher ]court (which in NC is Superior) and of course she wanted a trial by jury so ]that at least twelve people would hear the story about their company but not to ]try to put anything damaging in her credit file because she had a press release ]to send to her paper and the one in Fayetteville and would sue them for ]defamation of character (and a few other things). ] ] We walked out of the store and went home and had to roll the pennies. The ]only thing that we heard from them was a flier in the mail @ 2 weeks later when ]they were having a preferred customer sale. (obviously the fliers were sent out ]before they took our name off of their mailing list. ] ]stuart ] I wonder if something in U.S.C. say that if you try to pull this trick on a U.S.G. agency, you're guilty of "unlawful structuring" or some such shit.
