Apparantly I am a terrorist

[ericcoleman]

I was working on getting some of my Mom's money transfered, in this case an IRA. And for some reason it came up as a problem due to OFAC.

So I want to send out special thanks to our gubbment for protecting us from people like me ...

Now if I can just get this fixed ...

Hmmmmm....a long time ago when I worked for Wells Fargo, we had to do annual required learning about OFAC. If the transaction is over $10,000, that could be why you're having the issue with OFAC. That's the only logical explanation I can think of.......

Yeap. It is as much or more about money laundering than it is about terr'rism.

My money is nice and clean already, it doesn't need laundering

ten thousand dollars

I used to work for a company that made grey-area video poker machines. Some of our customers would take shoeboxes full of cash around to the various banks and get a $9,000 cashiers cheque from each one, and pay for the machines with those.
