Imagine if you bought a meal at Macdonald’s and only after you paid they told you they actually don’t have food so your only option is to lick the fries that fell on the floor! 🍟

- Hilton Richmond avoids foreclosure there are numerous hotel ownership groups that have struggled during the pandemic, where their properties could change hands as a result. Thankfully taxpayers weren’t forced to pay to shore up their finances.
- Calling in a fake bomb threat to delay a flight when you’re running late never ends well
Im fairly certain there is a 10K limit in moving cash or other instruments out of yhe country. Why did you check up on that and get back to the blog?
No honest person carries around $115,000 in cash.
@Keith
This was a domestic flight.
@Keith
10k limit is for reporting purposes not limiting its movement out of the country. Why dont you go check on that and get back and let the adults talk.
@Andrew
You think Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and the top 2% are honest people?
I looked ….depending on the type of currency and denomination of same, anywhere from 63thousandsplus lbs (pennies) to 3-4 lbs (1hundred dollar bills) …the figures/my extrapolation on the the bills is fair game for your research
@Andrew
I’d like to see the money clip ,wallet or handbag of anyone who might try!
Nothing is going to change until individual cops are held personally accountable for their actions by the public.If this man wants his money back, he knows exactly who took it from him. You can’t succeed in a corrupted system playing by the rules of the corrupted system.
That’s why conservatives are idiots when they say we should support the police. The police are enforcing leftist laws. We should be doing the opposite of supporting police. Civil Asset Forfeiture is a leftist law. Conservatives should view all who enforce it and support it as criminals of the highest degree.
Re: Stick Up Jobs
The criminals (and others) who have mastered the intricacies of anonymous crypto currency transfers avoid this low level government enforcement. Proves once again that life is short and harsh for dumb criminals.
One can be in favor of the police AND think asset forfeiture laws are abusive.
Asset forfeiture without even being charged with a crime is wrong. If a person is charged and convicted, that’s a different story. We’ve seen enough of this kind of thing before that I would never carry more than a few hundred dollars in cash on me.
