So you heard the stories about people selling to undercover feds on Local Bitcoins and being arrested for being "unlicensed money transmitters". Thought if you just cash out small amounts to your bank over time through an exchange you will be fine? Maybe... but you should also be warned about this:

WARNING. Cashing out less than $10,000 on a regular basis COULD land you in 5 years in jail and have your money seized based on being suspected of "structuring".

Quick run down on structuring:

>The Bank Secrecy Act requires banks to report customer transactions of more than $10,000 to the IRS.
>If they SUSPECT that you’re breaking up your transactions to amounts less than $10,000 with the INTENT of skirting these reporting requirements, they are required to submit a suspicious activity report.
>This is a crime known as “structuring” or “smurfing”.
>It’s punishable with 5 years of prison and/or a fine.
>Sums of money resulting from deposits less than $10,000 may be seized after a warrant is issued based on a suspicious report.
>They rely on the fact that legal proceedings cost $20,000 or more for an innocent person to retrieve his money to “seize” (steal) people’s money.
>The banks are not allowed to warn their customers that they’re under investigation.
>91% of IRS seizures for “structuring” involved LAWFUL taxpayers.

Did you even read the article you posted? It says the 278 people had their assets seized for STRUCTURING, which is a crime in of itself. It doesn't matter if the income is legal if you structure it to avoid mandatory financial disclosure regulations.

>The rules are intended to stop money launderers from evading federal banking regulations by making small cash deposits under $10,000, but IRS agents ruthlessly pursued cases against small business owners when there was no other evidence or indication of criminal activity. For example, The New York Times profiled the case of Carol Hinders, an Iowa woman runs a small, cash-only Mexican restaurant. In 2013, two IRS agents showed up at Hinder's door and told her the agency was seizing $33,000 from her bank account for structuring violations. She was never accused of a crime.

Structuring is a crime of "intent". They pursued those cases with no evidence just the accusation that the "intent" was to avoid triggering reporting requirements.

hahahahahahahah no.

the scariest part about the structuring laws is that they can take your money just because they suspect you of trying to circumvent the reporting laws...not because youre not paying taxes.

so you could pay 100% of your taxes and be fully squared away by the IRS...and still lose all of your money if they think you were trying to avoid the reports

the only way to win is to cash out <$10k ONCE....or make sure you only cash out >$10k and do your taxes properly.

Exactly

Sally cashes out $9000 a month to her bank from her business = Legal.

Sally cashes out $9000 a month to her bank from her business with the INTENT that the bank doesn't report her transaction = Illegal

Some idiots in the thread don't see where that can get you into shit even if you fully intend to comply with the law. They even ADMIT they compromised people's rights. And even when those individuals presented evidence that they didn't "INTEND" to structure they just ignored it.
