QuestionerI used to take out my wife, like she used to cash, I used to take out $9,000 regularly, and the FBI came to see me, you know, and my bank gave them that information. I'm not mad at my bank about that. I mean, that's, but they cooperate with the U.S. government, and it probably has to do with money laundering and a whole bunch of things. And I expect my bank to cooperate with the U.S. government. I expect my, you know, I expect my telephone company to cooperate with the United States government. I don't think they should be reasonable in determining to what extent they, where there's really a need to get that sort of thing. But we live in a dangerous world, and if at our railroad, we found mysterious shipments of something going on or something, I would hope that we would make sure that the proper people in government knew about it. about it.
QuestionerI want to know what you're doing. Do you think the situation has gotten so complex? I want to know what you're doing to $9,000, Warren. And how many times did you do that? What's, what the heck, I mean, that take my interest, huh?
WarrenWell, well, I did it once a year. That's what my wife gets to spend. Once a year, okay. No, I'm just, no, I did it fairly frequently. I had read some place that, that, you know, that, that, that, that, that they're, that they're, 10,000 was some threshold where they reported it. I thought, why should they report it? I can just tell you, I'm just getting the money to buy groceries.
QuestionerMe and Andrew here, neither one of us have ever taken $9,000 out to just, well, walking around money, have we, Andrew?
OtherCredit cards, my friend. I use my American Express card to help Warren's account. That's why the FBI got suspicious of me.
QuestionerBecause you were just under the threshold every time?
OtherYeah, well, you're not supposed to do that. I didn't know that. They found out you're spending it on Cherry Coke, you know what I mean, and just guzzle on that. Like, cases of... Those two guys looked pretty serious when they came into the office. I wasn't there, but my assistant was there. And, you know, I learned.
