Yesterday, I went to my local Wells Fargo bank in Shelby Montana and proceeded to deposit $3000 in cash into my checking account. The teller who has waited on me for about five years asked ” Where did you get the cash?” Excuse me ? She then repeated her question. I then advised her that it was no ones business where I got the cash and to either deposit it or return it to me. She deposited the cash and I left the bank. I will not be depositing cash there again. I think postal money orders will be purchased for any bill paying in the future.
I sometimes wonder how much of that kind of reaction is due to bank policies/government regulations or just the fact that largish amounts of cash are relatively uncommon with people. A couple of years ago my wife withdrew about 8,000 dollars in cash (for a used vehicle purchase from a private individual) and the teller inappropriately waved the wad of cash at my children with the with the statement “I bet you wish you could have some of that.” I suspect that with people living nearly hand-to-mouth, that withdrawals or deposits over $500 are just uncommon in the average personal account.
Mr Rawles and Latimer , after reading the soft hit piece written by Australian journalist Matt Young I quickly scrolled to the bottom of the page and sure enough-no comment section. As a general rule I refuse to read or visit any so called news site that does not allow for open comments and feedback. News without comments is not conversation among free men, but dictation from would be loudmouth tyrants. Sadly in this day and age it seems that their are only two kinds of journalist: ones with agendas , and those who for the highest dollar will do the bidding of those with agendas. Sirs, I know how much you want to get the concept of the American Redoubt out to the masses but I would suggest that from now on that you give no more interviews to news organizations that don’t have a comment section. You can tell the choir here that the article was wrong, but masses will never know.
