You should have asked, "What is the definition of money laundering?"
Either the manager doesn't understand what your are doing or doesn't know the definition!

I got this from the wikipedia article on money laundering (1st paragraph):

Money laundering is the process whereby the proceeds of crime are transformed into ostensibly legitimate money or other assets.[SUP][1][/SUP] However in a number of legal and regulatory system the term money laundering has become conflated with other forms of financial crime, and sometimes used more generally to include misuse of the financial system, including terrorism financing, tax evasion and evading of international sanctions. Most anti-money laundering laws openly conflate money laundering (which is concerned with source of funds) with terrorism financing (which is concerned with destination of funds) when regulating the financial system



So, to engage in CRH money laundering you would have to;
1) Use the proceeds of a crime to fund your CRHing (after selling a kilo of coke, you take the money and pick up boxes of halves)
2) Use your coins to finance a crime. (I dumped my coins at a bank and then wired the money to Al-Qaeda)

So whick one of these are you up to?

Interesting, this happened to me last Saturday at a Chase bank. I wanted to deposit $400 cash into my wife's account so she would have some spending money while out of town. They told me they do not take cash deposits due to money laundering issues, unless I was named on my wife's account. Since when did banks quit taking good ole cold hard cash and coins. I can understand making a withdrawal, but a deposit???? I had to go to a local store and get a money order, ....., they took that without any problem then told me there is a 3 day hold on it lol.

Generally management doesn't like people like us. I don't lie when asked why i have so many coins but if they don't ask, why tell them what you do?

Man hunter, my younger brother also has a chase account. He goes to college about 5 hours away now. If he calls and needs money for something it's a real pain since I can't just go deposit some cash for him. I don't really get it. Bank of America still let's you deposit in other peoples account though.

Too bad the guys in office space had to settle for asking Orlando Jones. I think your definition would have helped them a bit more. Haha.

A bank employee accuses you of a federal offense that can include a fine of up to $500,000 and up to 20 years in federal prison and your response is LOL?

this was your previous quote "He was serious and told me not to tell anyone about what I'm doing. He said if his boss knew then it would be a problem lol."

so was he laughing or serious?

I know I wouldn't be laughing if someone accused me of something like this.
