Few years back I was going to NYC and had a few grand on me. But only planned to spend $1,400. I got the extra $1,600 thinking fuckit its NYC maybe something crazy will happen.
Was very nervous about it due to the bullshit TSA guards and once some guy who worked for the FAA told me there was a rule/law that only so much cash could be carried on your person on an airplane. Don't know if true or not but still it gives you pause.
Not too mention with all the "snooping" the government does if I had got pulled aside for "random" screening I am sure it would have been noted:
"Very arrogant black guy who thinks he shit doesn't stink is carrying around $3,000 cash"
Last thing I need.
Shit...I just got back from Vegas a couple of weeks ago and carried around $ 5k in hundreds. When I go through the scanning machine I simply take the money out of my wallet and hold it in my hands (above the head as instructed). Wouldn't want to give TSA a reason to grab my wallet LOL
Frankly that was a fairly small amount that I typically travel with. And I've been doing this for many many years.
As for getting pulled aside because you have some cash...are you that fucking paranoid? I guess you are, as well as the OP and other johnnie boys who also seem to cower when carrying anything more than $ 45 in cash.
But then I'm a caucasian dude...maybe that's why they don't give it a second thought?

One of the privileges of being white I guess.
Damn, it must feel good to be a white man.
Let me give you another story.
When I first started with my firm we had a Xmas dinner at a restaurant. Just the small group and wives. I was not married at the time. So I walked in alone and said to the host guy I am here for the Bullshit Investment Bank Party. The guy said oh that party is downstairs.
I go down and its a wedding. I go back up and said that's not it. He said then you sure you got the right place. I said definitely. He looks thru the list again and said look you are in the wrong place the only other xmas party is for Bullshit Investment Bank.
Then looks at me like "you couldn't obviously be with them"
Even though I am standing there in very nice suit. I said yes that's it. His fucking head dropped.
So see me paranoia is well founded.
I may be in Chicago in 2014 wanna do a ganbang with gal?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you're a black man and you're not obviously a celebrity the stuff that thousands of other guys do every day will seem suspicious when you do it.
As for the OP yeah I think about it but more in the vein of--"If I lose this envelope I'm screwed because no ATM will dispense that much cash at one time and the girls are already waiting in the hotel room."
It's the limit your bank puts on daily withdrawals that is the problem, not the ATM machine. The easy solution of course is to carry more than a single ATM card. Personally I carry several ATM cards which allow me to withdraw about $5,000 a day. More than enough for any whore mongering or casual gambling I might want to do, but not enough to get me in any serious trouble.
and please get off this racist bullshit. I am not white and I don't have a bit of problems carrying a few grand on me. You don't have to be white to look respectable. Sometimes it helps to simply get that giant chip off your shoulder.
They use this word all of the time around here.
It's Discretion.
Be discreet. Don't wear your fancy ass overcoat, and I won't want to rob you.
But I suspect you're one of the dudes that panics going through TSA with thousands as well. Last I checked Federal Reserve Notes are still legal tender. And carrying large amounts is common for many folks.
I prefer to cash a check only once every few weeks for a few thousand at a crack. I also like to carry hundreds instead of small bills as well.
If I'm seeing a hooker and the charge is a few thousand dollars...that's only 20 or 30 bills...what is the big fucking deal?
Some folks just love to create paranoia where none exists.
Did you ever see a landscaper show up to his bank with 50k to deposit...and often in smaller bills? How about a restaurant? Or any other cash type business? Ask a bank teller how often they see it....and the answer is "every fucking day".

of donation around? I like to see girls for multiple hrs. and even though I visit them in nice places I sometimes get nervous hauling around a envelope bulging out the sides. I know some girls take CCs now but that does not work for me as it leaves a paper trail behind.
I also think about the girls going to the bank on a Friday, they must need a armed guard to escort them if it has been a good week lol.
lost time I see
Good to see you back. You're on a roll I must say.
I just had a lil fun on the NY Board, I couldn't help myself.....come on...."I scene Stacey"......"burrowed pics" hahahahahahahah (I'm sorry, I know, I'm already going to hell LOL) but that is just way too funny to let go...can't you just picture that conversation in real life, I think that's what scares me hahaha. And yes, I'm a complete nerd too.
Btw, I think it's colder here than in Chicago....holy shit. I feel like I'm up north again.

If I win the lotto...I'm taking the whole fucking thing in 100's and carrying it through the airport. I might need some help as that might not all fit in my pocket.
Wanna bet TSA wouldn't give a shit?
Also wanna bet that ABC news would be there to report it? At least that way I doubt TSA would try and steal my laptop LOL
It's warming up here today...low 30's. How far south are you? When we win the lotto are you going to be on the yacht with us? You can bring 5 johns...and rotate every week as well. BiB said that he is an equal opportunity monger.
And if Rrasha will be organizing the daily activities I guess there won't be a dull moment.
Oh...and Udo can't be one of the five guys...we're going to be an STD free zone

don't think I'll be on that yacht either, wherever it is whisking off to. Sounds nice but boats really aren't my thing lol. But do enjoy, maybe you could get Cosette to go instead, perhaps she'll jump on your offer to get 'on board'....just promise not to make anyone walk the plank. That'd be a tough swim for anyone I'd think.
If you are really from Chitown. You should know what i mean.
I'm sorry. But I get a little paranoid walking around with big money in industrial NYC.
I have gotten my ass kicked over a coat, a zippo, and a nice hat… Not fun.
People get killed over a fucking car!
Be careful.
Haven't yet run into the mugging that you're suggesting. And I've lived here my entire life.
But then I'm not driving into an area that I know is a problem either. That has nothing to do with carrying cash...simply common sense and knowing where you are.
Shit my friend, when I've been in the UK walking around London I didn't know which areas might be problematic. Same as when I've been to DC or NYC or LA. But I try and be aware of my surroundings. And I still prefer to carry enough cash to do what I want to do.
But I hear you on being careful. Just not being paranoid.

Just a different sentence.
Believe me… It can happen.
Call me un lucky. Or yourself smart.
It happens. If you are mathematician you should know the chances.
Allow me to reiterate the point..
Don't show off guys…
Be discreet.
Your posts aren't supposed to make so much sense.... 
You read like Taylor?
Wimping out a little. Are we
Visa gift cards with cash. No trail to follow.
I can't believe that an "investment banker" in 2013 would consider three grand a LOT of money.
I remember going through security in McCarran airport in LV a few months after 9-11 with $50,000 in cash in my toiletry bag, the TSA agent didn't even mention it, he just kept looking for deadly weapons like finger nail clippers and sent me on my way.
and FWIW, I am not white either.
Hence you aren't on the list. LOL
I love this type of thread....nothing like a bit of paranoia to make the holidays grander
BiB said that he's got the yacht lined up (I did suggest he buy it instead of leasing...better tax writeoffs). And I guess that the game plan is to head to CR in month two. Will any of us have any energy left after the first month?
I'm hearing that Nicky is working on Rrasha to join us...hope that pans out.
Can we have Mikey come along and be the bartender? I'll call him Isaac just for grins.

Isaac won't drink up all the booze,
and what kind of accountant are you anyhow? Leasing is much better from a tax standpoint, not to mention if it flies, floats, or fucks rent don't buy, even if you do have a few hundred mil to burn through. Have you checked out the luxury tax rates of late???
Leasing is more expensive over the terms. And the depreciation on the boat is material if there is income to offset against it. Also keep in mind that the boat is broken down into other components for depreciable asset acquisitions.
Luxury tax rates still apply to leases I'm afraid...as well as State sales taxes.
You also realize that you don't need to buy the boat in the States....right? Last I checked we weren't going to be using it here anyhow LOL
Mikey would be more fun than Isaac...that's my guess. But to just irritate him I'll still call him Isaac! And if you're not careful there...you may be known as Gopher

She'll be back in her native "In-Jah." And I will be in CR for sure. At a place in Jaco, on the beach with a hot chica I met there last week. You're all invited to sample the wares at The Cocal. You may see me there. But I am very elusive. Especially when that chica's around. I don't share well. Sorry.
you're not in love Nick, are ya? lol
jealous bone in my body...trust me LOL. I'm one of 'those' women. I can never understand how women get jealous...just move on, who cares, I don't have time for that crap. That's why I hang out with dudes....I'm not the 'got 8000 girlfriends' type to validate who I am haha.
I was just bein nosy. By his 'tone' sure sounds like it. I have a keen sense for these things...you're the 'hound', can't you smell it?
Btw, I read splendidly...what does 'learn' ya mean...is that code for something?
-- Modified on 12/17/2013 7:15:44 PM
If you really want to fuck with them..
Hook me up!
Discount for the Hound?
Christmas present?
Stockings, and lace
hitting on me? #1 I don't discount lol for that sort of behavior. #2 you really shouldn't throw your friends under the bus like that just for a 'piece'. Cute however and I am flattered. I shall have a talk with your father now.
I'm in love with about 100 Ticas. Know what I mean?
Nica = Nicaraguan hottie. But in Costa Rica there are also Dominicanas, Columbianas and so much more. It is a Latina smorgasbord. At $100 an hour. Little wonder I am going back. Not to mention it's a beautiful country. Did I mention my place on the beach will be $55 a night? Food's good, too.
Even non hottie Costa Rican women are called "Ticas", but just like in the states, after about age thirty, I don't call them at all.
As for Nicky, I think he is a kid who has just found a new candy store. but unlike a kid, instead of wanting to "eat" all the candy, Nicky wants to fuck them instead. lmao
don't be. I really don't give a fuck. More for me that way.
and all of Latin America for that matter.
and I end up in Costa Rica almost every February, I don't see why this Feb should be any different. Not to mention there are plenty of Ticas to go around, especially at your rate of only one a day. lol
Fuck You And The Chica You Rode In On. Kay?
but considering you are most likely shit faced by now, I won't sic Conan on you. That pedantic putz is most likely busy (or drunk) anyhow. lol
Perhaps in Feb. we will test the plural and see.
I meant "chicas" in the larger sense, not as a singular event. I apologize to Conan, and that other pedantic putz for the confusion.
I will confess, I did do two chicas on Thankgiving, but that was after copius quantities of both tequila and vodka, and I also have to confess that I am a bit sketchy on the details. I know I had fun though. lol
I guess then. Hell Nick, for the price of an airline ticket, hotel, food and the slappings of your Tica.....that's roughly the same as a mere 2 hr date in Manhattan, isn't it? Looks like you found yourself a goldmine then .......kudos to you, I wish you well with that. Perhaps you could bring the rest of the clan with you next time. Hell, maybe I'll even come at that rate and get myself my own Tica hahahahhaa. At this rate you could hit 100 reviews by the end of 2014 with all the Ticas you could meet at that cheap price. I'll look forward to some quality reading.
Is it quality over quantity or quantity over quality? Hmmm, I forget, oh well Enjoy!!!!!
Speaking of clan, your son is hitting on me and is willing to throw you and your clan under the bus just to get in my pants I believe. Perhaps you should have a chat with him...hmm?
Have a good day.
Btw, I like petite brunettes with beautiful bronze natural skin and smokin bods, so I should be in my glory there. But I have this odd feeling that the 'cleanliness' factor could be an issue, with the place and the chicas. I am a bit OCD with that
If you really do like to play for the other team from time to time, I wuould heartily recommend CR to you, and I assure it's not quantity over quality, many if not most of the chicas I see could easily command upwards of $500 hr in NYC.
Don't worry about the cleanliness factor of the chicas, most of the chicas I see at the Del Rey shower both before and after a session and many of them are quite low volume. Several that I know come to "work" to see a single client for the day and then go home to their family. One of my personal favorites works three days a week, and only sees one client on each of those "work" days. and yes she is a petite brunettes with beautful broze skin and a smokin bod.
BTW it's not the low rate that keeps me going back, on average I spend well over a grand a day when in Costa Rica, over and above my airfare and hotel, so it's not really about saving money, it the pure debauchery of the place that does it for me.
I guess this is where I am supposed to throw in a gratuitous insult just to prove I am not "going soft", but I m not really in the mood for insults this morning, remind me next time and I will insult you twice, just so you know it's really me. lol
And, yes, of course if you add in the cost of airfare and hotels the cost as about the same as in NY. But the whole vibe of being at the Del Rey or the Cocal, chest deep in hookers, then taking one up to your room, is pretty amazing.
No need to worry about cleanliness, either. All the Ticas I was with were very clean, also regularly tested.
Oh, and you can't review them here because none of them has an ad or a web site. They don't need one. All they have to do is hop in a cab to the Del and peddle their ass.
Importing or exporting more than $10,000, or depositing/withdrawing that amount into a bank has to be reported to the IRS. I don't believe that simply carrying around a few thousand in cash is a problem.

By myself at 1AM...I feel like EVERYONE who pays attention to such things must know exactly what I was just doing, and that I have a huge wad of cash on my person. I've never had any issues, tho.
Trying to walk in heels looks really hard.
I'd be afraid to attract too much attention LOL

a large bulge...underneath your knickers. Then they'd run the other way.
but if he were wearing those high heels and lipstick, he might attract the wrong kind of attention. lol
'They' referred to pickpockets...not escorts.
One time I had $1500 and went to have a drink at my neighborhood bar alone. Someone ended up buying it for me so I completely got up without my purse. My friend texted me an hour later that he'd been there after I left and noticed the bag behind the counter. Luckily, the hood is still small enough. Everything was inside.
This is why I do not do outcalls, and I don't carry cash. Fk, I never work anyway lol, but when I used to tour, I would come back with a few Gs in money orders.
C-notes and fifties take up less space. Use them whenever possible. Twenties are ok as well.
As for being nervous, not really.
..is the answer for all hobbyists and providers. Neither party has to be concerned about carrying large wads of cash.
Bitcoin is growing in acceptance and popularity by leaps and bounds now--it will be an integral part of the economy of tomorrow--and the hobby is ideally suited for its use.
As always, I am happy to provide anybody on either side of the hobby fence with information on how to get started in using Bitcoin. Just send me a PM.
The value of bitcoins are way too volatile. It's an interesting experiment, but there's nothing to moderate its value - they could all be worthless tomorrow.
and I would hardly think some women would like to be paid in that unless you plan to cash it out right away.
That's short-sighted. There are plenty of stocks that would be worth getting paid with. Especially if you can get it pre-IPO! (Stock values can be out of whack but at least there's a company behind them. Bitcoins aren't backed by ANYTHING).
is that for every company that makes it, there are dozens that fall by the wayside, complete losses to their "private" investors.
Anything put out there under regulation D, has no liquidity and the only exit is for the company to be bought out, or go public. Sadly, many of these companies do either. I have a moving boxes full of "offering memorandum" from "pre IPO" stock offerings, I doubt one in a hundred of these companies still even exist.
I think I might pass on them for the time being. I have no desire to try and catch a falling knife.
I hope you didn't bet the farm on them
I've managed to stick fifty grand into my pants pockets, but don't try it with a pair of blue jeans. I doubt that I could carry more that a few hundred in most of the jeans I own.
