Per Wong's Guys' discussions: 2 gamblers had attempted to structure & to evade the more-than-$10,000-cash-declaration-requirement. Gambler#1 carried $9,400, & and the 2nd: $9,500. The Fed confiscated $18,900 because the gamblers broke the law when they "structured" to evade the reporting requirement.
By the way, when returning from Canada, I and 3 friends were detained by the Fed in an U.S.-Canadian Border Crossing. Hey the Fed had really good incentives to find undeclared cash in excess of $10,000! They took the car APART! When they could not find what they really looked for, i.e., "UNDECLARED CASH,
" they tried to look for something else
. They did find Cuban cigars, and they confiscated them. Please don't ask me the year in which the Fed confiscated the cigars because I don't want to give away my age
