Never seen a thread about a news article, but no links or quotes xD I find it sketchy actually, a Senior member wouldn't make a post like that.

If you don't declare it --> yes. It is called capital control.

If you don't declare it --> yes. It is called capital control. So I dont understand, why don't she declare it? MAybe because she hasn't paid taxes for it? There are several reasons for this actually.

Title: Re: 78-Year-Old Woman Caught Hiding Almost $41,000 Cash in Her Carry-On and Undergar Post by: TaunSew on August 12, 2014, 05:47:41 AM There's television shows about airport security and border offenses.
Sneaking in money happens all the time and it's largely people from developing countries where capital control forbids them from transferring funds abroad. You can essentially get $USD cash anywhere these days but sending money from your bank account to an account abroad is another. Bitcoin is a theoretical way to get around this (like all the Chinese who were buying in 2013) but this is an obscure technology when considering there's only like 1 million users.

Capital control defeated ;) Now you could just use an online wallet, but I wouldn't dare leave it their for an extended period of time especially if going to a foreign country, don't forget to use a VPN to connect to your VPN if your country has become particularly paranoid!

Just use an BIP38 encrypted private key. You could post that key online, still noone could crack it ;) Title: Re: 78-Year-Old Woman Caught Hiding Almost $41,000 Cash in Her Carry-On and Undergar Post by: Lethn on August 12, 2014, 06:35:48 AM You NEVER say something like that on the internet Hfleer lol :P I picked a VPS because you could store it in relative safety and privately as opposed to just leaving it floating around on the internet, if you wanted to get really radical if you have a permanent place to stay you could set up a laptop or computer and remote desktop it then send the money over there that way and shut the computer down.

But it is true. Some guy posted a BIP38 wallet with over 1 BTC in it and it only has 4 digit password, it is still not cracked! I will try to find it.

Yes, but the trick with BIP38 is that to try out passwords, you need a GPU/CPU that does work. 1 try takes about 10 seconds, so you can't really bruteforce it. Very safe.

She might not be aware of the 10k capital control law.

Just another money smuggler that got caught, happens every day.

No because the local law gives a "break" if you have small itens with you and less than 10, so you don't really need to declare. But someone that wanted to carry $41K probably already spent more. |
