Leslie R. Caldwell, former Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the DOJ, told a group of bankers while in office that they need to expand upon the ‘suspicious activity reports’ they are required to file on their customers by calling law enforcement directly on anyone withdrawing a large amount of cash, according to investor and financial blogger Simon Black.
Banks are already required to file ‘suspicious activity reports’ on their customers, with threats of fines and even jail time for directors if financial institutions don’t meet quotas.
But as investor and financial blogger Simon Black points out, last week, “A senior official from the Justice Department spoke to a group of bankers about the need for them to rat out their customers to the police.”
Assistant attorney general Leslie Caldwell gave a speech in which he urged banks to “alert law enforcement authorities about the problem” so that police can “seize the funds” or at least “initiate an investigation”.
As Black highlights, according to the handbook for the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council, such suspicious activity includes, “Transactions conducted or attempted by, at, or through the bank (or an affiliate) and aggregating $5,000 or more…”
Black provides a chilling scenario under which an attempt to withdraw your own money from your bank account could end with a home visit from the cops.
“As you pull into your driveway later there’s an unexpected surprise waiting for you: two police officers would like to have a word with you about your intended withdrawal earlier,” writes Black, who accuses banks of already operating as “unpaid government spies”.
“Do you need to withdraw cash to purchase a used car from a private seller? Or perhaps you are pulling out some emergency cash for a loved one,” writes Mac Slavo.
“Either one of these activities are now considered suspicious and if your cash withdrawal amounts to even a few thousand dollars your bank teller is under a legal requirement to alert officials about your suspected criminal activity. And before you argue that you can’t possibly be a suspect because you have done nothing wrong, consider that even being suspected of being a suspect is now enough to land you on a terrorist watchlist in America.”
The war on cash is intensifying as authorities attempt to crack down on one of the few remaining modes of anonymity.
Over in France, Finance Minister Michel Sapin hailed the introduction of measures set to come into force in September which will restrict French citizens from making cash payments over 1,000 euros.
The new regulations, introduced in the name of fighting terrorism, will also see cash deposits of over 10,000 euros during a single month reported to anti-fraud authorities.
Meanwhile, in the UK, HSBC is now interrogating its account holders on how they earn and spend their money as well as restricting large cash withdrawals for customers from £5000 upwards.
Back in America, purchasing Amtrak train tickets with cash is being treated as a suspicious activity as part of a number of behaviors that are “indicative of criminal activity”.
Banks are also making it harder for customers to withdraw and deposit cash, with Chase imposing new capital controls that mandate identification for cash deposits and ban cash being deposited into another person’s account.
Then I will keep my money in a safe or safety deposit box.
Are they trying to put banks out of business?
All part of the plan!
Hillary is a part of a political globalest special interest organization that has chosen the most evil religion Islam to bring in a new world order and to take away the second amendment, freedom of speech and Christianity. Hillary and Obama are letting Isis win to bring in a new world order, under Hillary Isis wins. Putin is right we are arming Isis to bring in a new world order and recently threaten to start shooting down American aircrafts. Putin recently did a drill they have bunkers for 40 million citizens that they went to and he has a military defense system to stop missiles. Trump will build our military defenses Obama has neglected this. Hillary is a guaranteed failure. Isis is calling for knife attacks on beaches and camp sites and bus stops, Hillary will not care she will bring violence on America just like she did to the Ambassador, she will sacrifice anyone for the new world order.Hillary wants to bring in 5 million. America has never been more unsafe we need to vote for Trump. When I was younger I had a great vision of the Lord Jesus Christ blood going through my skin into my wrist. Jesus was wearing a heavenly blue garment and holding my hand and then I saw a sprinkle of the Lord Jesus Christ blood going through my skin into my wrist. Hebrews 12:22-28,Heavenly Jerusalem, Acts 2:17-21.Matthew 24,Heaven and earth shall pass away but by no means shall my word pass away. In revelations God says to come out of the whore that you receive not of her plagues and in her was found all the deaths of the Christians. This is saying to vote for Trump!Hillary is setting us up just like the 9-11 victims were set up.Voting for Trump is voting against evil.Trump will be bringing back the jobs that are disappearing and bring full time jobs.Wikkileaks prove that Hillary was a part of a arms deal to sell Isis weapons that she was paid off to do just like the 5 million that she plans to bring into America to disable Americans to bring in a new world order.Bringing jobs back and creating them go hand in hand with welfare and college degrees and only Trump has talk about this it is a easy decision he is best to save America.Go on you tube and listen to Wikileaks:Hillary Lied Under Oath About Arming Isis,subscriber Lionel Nation a attorney at Law and he says the media does not care about reporting about how dangerous Hillary and Obama are.This is a sign of the rapture or blessed hope that Jesus Christ Prophesied.Epistle of John.It is odd that in other airplane crashes there is always evidence left but 9-11 there wasn’t any and many scientist are saying because there wasn’t any and out of 86 videos only 1 video shows airplanes and a chemical that is only found in bombs was found in the Twin Towers and 3 weeks before it happened when it was close they where doing work in there when it closed and witness described what they where bringing in and it sounds like they may be right these scientist who investigated 9-11 properly.This is the reason the black boxes where never found which would of withstand the fire and crash.Some 911 researchers are saying that the radar showed military aircrafts behind all the airline planes and there is a way to leave that path and not be detected because of the same path and only a military drone plane would be able to have the speed a big airliner would not at the low atmosphere level and would not be able to hit the target and also weak parts of the plane like the wings or tail would fall off it wouldn’t just disappear into the building perfectly unless it was a military drone which some witnesses say it looked like “That does not look like a commercial airliner “.Also a fox reporter and others are on video saying this does not look like a commercial airliner they thought it look like a military airplane these people witness the second airplane and this only makes sense with the science and thermite was found which melts steel which was flowing like lava and the perfect way all three buildings fell in 7 seconds prove that all where wired up with thermite according to the experts.The 3rd World Trade Center tower had nothing hit it and the steel frame melt when that is not possible unless it was wired up with thermite and it was a demolition which means all of them where.It collapsed 7 hours after the first two in a matter of seconds the experts are saying this is clearly evidence all three where wired up with thermite.
It’s in the banking contract…Also if you storage it in a safe they can take it. Why you Ask?/Because they own the patent. Folks better come up with a new system.
No
If you consider yourself “law and order,” blindly support police and think the “war on drugs” is a good thing, congratulations, you’re an idiot because this is exactly what you get when you blindly support such things!
Lisa Garska
No, you can thank the “war on drugs” for this nonsense.
Americans are idiots for supporting the “war on drugs” in the first place.
Hey, you can thank the war on drugs for this nonsense so, congratulations if you support it because you have supported your own enslavement while you thought you were supporting good policy.
This is what you get when you decide to try to use government to force others to live by your preferences and your standards and make criminals out of people who have harmed no one thus have committed no real crime rather than choosing freedom and liberty and allowing others to live as they see fit.
If you think this is bad, try searching “civil asset forfeiture,” another by product of the war on drugs and you will see the police can now confiscate ANYONE’S money or property, never charge anyone with a crime not does their have to be a trial or court order and all of it violates the 4th amendment and conservatives supported it!

You can thank the war on drugs for this so if you support it, congrats, you helped support your own enslavement!
See “civil asset forfeiture” for a bigger shock that is also due to American’s, especially conservative’s, passion for the war on drugs.
It is and always has been a war on people on behalf of big pharmacy companies!
