Not surprised by the questions from the bank. They can get in deep crap if their find out is money laundering or for other illicit activities.

I made request to withdraw $15k from a credit union to buy a used car for the kids years ago. They guy wanted cash. The credit union said, they needed a day because it would wipe out their branch reserves but I could go to the central location if I wanted it today. No big deal.

They did ask what it was for. The teller said something about being required to ask per federal regulations for any large withdrawals. I don't know if he was making that up or not but it made sense since they are required to monitor for money laundering.

Yeah, this simply isn’t unusual these days.

With the original post having no context what was the purpose of this thread again?
