BarleyNY Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 This does make me think about how easy it would be for a GM to take kick backs. I’ll overpay you $5M if $1M makes it into this offshore numbered account. I’m sure there are quite a few agents happy to do that for a cut. 1 minute ago, Bogie_Klinkhammer said: Doesn't everybody steal millions from their employer ? Banks are ripe. If you walk in, hand a note to a teller and take $2k out you’re almost 100% screwed. Bank robbers almost always get caught. Next to a post office they’re the dumbest thing to rob. But if you are an employee who embezzles hundreds of thousands of dollars, they’ll fire you and sweep it under the rug. No jail time because the bank will want to keep it out of the news because that will be a problem for their reputation and stock price.

I found this out when I went to buy a motorcycle with cash. I went to my local Bank of America branch on a Friday and wanted to take out $16,000. Naturally, I assumed that they had loads of cash back in the vault, but apparently they don’t. They said we can't give you the $16k because it's payday, and we don't want to give away that much cash on a payday. I ended up having to go to three different branches to scrape together the $16k. LOL They said in the future, if you want a lot of cash, place an order for it beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL They said in the future, if you want a lot of cash, place an order for it beforehand. yeah for the most part regional bank branches don't keep all that much hard cash on hand anymore. That's why you don't see as many bank robberies anymore: it's a lot of risk and attention for not a lot of money on hand. More common targets now are marijuana dispensaries. Because of the strange mix of federal and state regulations, they are a mostly cash only business and banks will not allow corporate accounts (because banks are federally regulated). This means that you have a slew of cash only businesses, whose bookkeeping is always going to be suspect and an inability to get any federal law enforcement involved.

My brother lives in Littleton, CO and does accounting. He had a very nice offer from a dispensary to come be their bookkeeper, but turned it down. Reason one was because he saw how much cash they had on hand and didn’t want to die in a robbery. The other was that he was afraid it would be a problem on his resume if he wanted to move on to another job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that might have changed but I watch a news special on it a few years ago. They can't put the money in banks so they always have a lot of cash at the store. Our local dispensary (in Illinois) has at least three armed guards on site at all times. They don't accept credit cards, but they accept debit/ATM cards, which cuts down on the cash they keep. They check your ID when you walk in and scan it for their records if you're a new customer. And there are cameras all over the place. I'm not inclined to rob anybody, but if I were, that would be a place I'd skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller wanted cash, and also, there have been cases of fake cashiers checks too…Google it. Now, I suppose if we had met at a BofA branch, they could have verified it, but we met at an IHOP in Athens, GA, and I had traveled up there from FL (in car with wife/I drove new bike home).

How people think they can get away with stuff like this kills me. We sold our first house to a husband and wife who were both attorneys. They wanted to do something funky with the contract, the details of which escape me now. WE didn’t do anything wrong, but I think they were trying to improve their mortgage options. It was just…..odd. A decade later he’s disbarred for dipping into client escrow funds. I just don’t get some people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
