Members mvan1 Posted May 20, 2019 Members Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) As much as I dislike Trump and his behavior, the form (Suspicious Activity Report - SAR) discussed in the article is a standard form that even a small dollar amount will trigger its filing. That amount is only $5,000.00. There were approximately two million SARs filed in 2017 against various people and entities that had dealings with Banks and Western Union, Paypal and similar type financial companies. As the article discussed, the government did nothing about the form filed against Trump and his buddy, Kuschner. With more than two million SAR documents filed in 2017, can anyone take a guess where the government would find the manpower to pursue any possible wrongdoing against any perpetrator or against the subject of such a SAR form? The form is really a scare tactic and has little meaning. Few SARs are ever pursued by the government. Thus, our hideous King Trump, remains quite quick and well, doing as he pleases, while appearing immune to any laws, especially the laws surrounding the Constitution of the U.S. It is a shame that the prestigious New York Times did not look into the uselessness of the form before the article sparked hope in some of its readers. If anyone wants to be bored to death about what a SAR is, here is a relatively short article that explains its purpose and its useless functions. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/suspicious-activity-report.asp More exciting nonsense reading: https://www.ffiec.gov/bsa_aml_infobase/pages_manual/olm_015.htm Edited May 20, 2019 by mvan1 AdamSmith 1 Quote

I could say much the same about FAR's (Federal Air Regulations). However, what strikes me is your statement about having a boss. I know you never actively had one, so to speak.

I far more than he, obviously. But (to repeat myself) there came a time about 10 years into it that, if we disagreed, I would go off and do it my way anyway. And he would stand back, and not interfere at all. Quote
