I would be very careful on structuring. Given the power of computer analytics it is a simple algorithm to inspect all accounts and flag suspicious activity. Structuring withdrawals is what sent former US House Speaker Dennis Hastert to federal prison

That was the point of my post - a cautionary tale. They track those deposits very closely, and mine were noticed immediately. In this case it was resolved with time and proper documentation, but I was able to show the source of the funds and that the transfers were legitimate.

This absolutely infuriates me. As much as a scumbag as Hastert was, he was thrown in prison for withdrawing his OWN money from his OWN bank account. And he was jailed because he wanted to keep his spending private and withdrew in small amounts.

It boggles my mind that the sheeple of the US ignore and even embrace the Orwellian nightmare the country has become.

Seriously, is anyone sending money via bitcoin or other crypto curriences? Fees are minimal, risk is limited to you remembering how to access your crypto wallet, and it is almost instant. This is what crypto was designed for (among other things). Curious about ways to exchange crypto for local currency in CR, particularly San Jose. I read somewhere about a few crypto ATMs opening in CR a year ago, but can't find any info on where they are. It looks like localbitcoins.com can be used. It shouldn't be that difficult.
