cant help but scratch my head and wonder,
"when I walk into my bank and see a teller, withdraw hard currency,
has anyone ever asked what am I going to spend the $ for"
LOL!
They actually do, if it's a "large" amount. Think this is happening all over the world last few years. |

A few bank tellers have asked me what I was saving for when I've put money in to my savings account before (though I just took this to be smalltalk even if it was none of their business). |

All the news about this case are very vague and misleading. Apparently the guy didn't get sentenced for selling bitcoins but for illegal money transmitting. As explained by seriouscoin in other thread: Stupid fcking media at its best. Spreading BS titles and intentionally mislead general public about the "news"
There is no " involvement in an underground Bitcoin exchange selling the digital currency to users of the black market website Silk Road." charge. The charge is "unlicensed Money transmitter"
Basically he sold and bought BTC on behalf of his client. The key here is "behalf of someone else, ie. brokerage ". He did not buy or sell bitcoins for himself.
Another charge was tax offense related which often called "money laundering". Funny word for not paying the government their shares
All that add up to his sentence.

A few bank tellers have asked me what I was saving for when I've put money in to my savings account before (though I just took this to be smalltalk even if it was none of their business). Note: they ask that question to follow their policy regarding money laundering requested by FED. Basically they can flag your account to the FEDs if theyre suspicious that your activity isnt " normal" for a regular Joe/Jane. The $10000 limit is a hard switch, this is a soft switch. |

Anti money laundering legislation has made snoops out of all bank tellers.  |

If you suddenly want withdraw money than your normal limit why you think nobody will ask you that question? |

Or withdraw money from an ATM multiple times. I've had wire transfers blocked pending an explanation from me. ATM withdrawals typically have daily limits of between 500-2500$. It's very rare that I need to, but now I make sure to call my account manager before making any larger than usual transaction. |

Try opening a new bank account nowadays. They'll ask you a LOT more questions than they used to. |

Or withdraw money from an ATM multiple times. Atm still limits you to how much you can withdraw on a daily basis. Try withdrawing $500 from 10 atms in the same day and see if you don't get a few calls or have to make a few calls when they stop the transactions and take your debit card. |
