I appreciate any form on the US currency, but this occurrence reminded me of the "100's, 50's or 20's" thread that keeps popping up on the boards.

You can buy money orders that are like a buck fifty each and put up to 1000 on each. I have always done it that way, then mailed the money orders off to pay bills. The money never entered my checking account.

My only problem was my day ended late and I couldn't get anywhere to get a money order... Perhaps I should have just waited until the next day....

Yea, generally only Walmart is open that late and not sure about their money order dept. I've always ended my day before 7 pm. so most grocery stores and gas stations were open that sold them. Back in the day, you could get one 24,7 at a 7-11. They sold them right at the counter.

or did it just feel that way?

when the thing works and bypass the money center.  

"Why the hell did you decide to do this in the cigarette line?"

I'll have to activate my WalMart card then, lol. Thanks

Banks deal with large cash deposits like that all the time. Retail, obviously, and not all retail is done by a formal business - flea markets, rummage sales, etc. Then there are cash wages, etc.  

I don't think people are usually judging the person holding up the line.

...business account. For now, I don't have one yet.

And then I read the drivel that is just comical.

The fact that I had ten stacks of 20's all organized into $100 that the girl insisted on laying out was the problem. Some dude or chick can run up, grab it, and leave. Also, I live in the area I advertise. The least exposure I have to large stacks of cash, the better, whether people were judging me or not.

They have a room to count their money, they should have let you use it.

I do require deposits for pre-bookings of over $1,000 via PayPal.

It was supposed to be a comical story, but started a discussion.

It's not a move that most of the gals even entertain (albeit most would love if they could pull that shit off  LOL).

Frankly another misnomer in hookerland  LOL
 

I was barely 22 at the time and this was in a tiny suburban town. The bail was high because my girlfriend got caught with weed and also pepper spray, without an FID card... in addition to being charged with the big "P." It was FREEZING cold and the middle of the night in the dead of winter. I trotted in wearing my shiny patent leather five inch stripper shoes... and long fake fur coat, un-washed; straight from at outcall at someone's house. (In my defense, I was young and stupid and had no other clothes with me. I was also a fair drive away from where I lived.)  

if they get even a whiff of "adult" business. Many ladies are sadder and wiser about this.

Will be setting up a business account in order to:

What happens to a John if he is caught in this type of transaction?

RICO is a very powerful and all encompassing felony.

You don't need to be a customer at a bank to take advantage of many services.  Need a roll of quarters?  You wham down the $10; they bam down the roll of quarters; thank you ma'am.  

Have you ever seen me say "pick me?" No. I put ads out, yes, because you have to advertise to get business. Am I all over the boards? Yes. Because it's fun as hell and people are hilarious on here.

Most are conscientious about reporting income...but there are those that simply don't either.

I've bought many vehicles with cash. If someone questions my form of payment I can/will take my b'ness elsewhere.

Bought a Shelby with cash.
Bought an Aston Martin with cash
Bought an H2O with cash

My reading was that he was saying you wouldn't want to do that; not that you do Courtney.  

And I had sent Courtney a PM corroborating that.

and I saw the posts above and I'm glad everything's cool!!

He was simply stating that transferring money for an illegal transaction (prostitution) via wire, email, phone, or mail is a felony. These transfers include but are not limited to Paypal, Green-dot, Western Union and any other method you can dream up to get money from point A to point B. In other words, prepaying a deposit which many escorts require is a felony whereas paying for the service in person is a misdemeanor. Therefore, any escort accepting a deposit in any way other than directly in person is committing a felony and if caught, faces serious jail time and fines.

This has been my experience, so by no means do I mean to imply that I am amongst the norm. I wouldn't prepay, I've been stood up before and I don't feel all you ladies have the integrity to return the deposit if it so happens that you need to cancel last minute. This is not a blanket statement, I'm sure most of you do. I have asked a regular to accompany me out of town and I gave her half of the agreed upon donation at the appointment prior to pur trip so that she would not have to come out of pocket for travel expenses and then when she arrived she told me how much her travel expenses were and I reimbursed her for that plus the other half. It's very important to point out though that she is a regular and I trust her. I wouldn't do that with someone I had spent considerable time with. Again, this is my experience I do not believe I am anyway shape or form the norm.

Everything worked out great and had a terrific time with her. Lucky for me, she became a ROB years after I saw her, lol.

A client who pays in advance for sexual services whether in whole, or in part, by virtue of the prepayment does not violate RICO. Even if the payment is by mail or wire, and the arrangements are made by mail or wire, and are deemed to constitute mail or wire fraud, still no RICO violation. You have got to do a lot, lot more that that before RICO even comes into the conversation.

I'm sure that AC as well as others have that defense in the bag. LOL

Our trip was also to Vegas and she lives in an entirely different State and part of the country than I do. But we had a great 3 days.

You are the only one that knows how you got all those twenties.  

The Feds track large cash deposit and withdrawals.  Many people think the safe number is anything under $10,000.00 in reality the number is considerably lower. Also there can be numerous questions that come up here with the IRS.  

Looks like makeup sex is in the near future...

When I was in ministry, the higher I got in ministry, the more exposed I was. If I had a night of masturbating, which was a no-no, I would go to the pulpit sweating and red faced thinking everyone knew. Got down and they all hugged and said, "you're growing so much. Great job!" LOL. But still, every time... lol

I dont make nearly enough for it to be a huge deal.

If you want an impersonal bank I'd go with Chase. Open by placing a stack of bills on the counter. My last account was opened with a passport and a credit card of theirs. Gave them a fake address. Never had any problems.

LOL. I have liked your presence on the board since you first appeared here, but something about that, "when I was in ministry" post just added a whole new dimension.

If I claim it as an 'entertainer', as a little bird told me via PM, I've got proof that those handfuls of cash have been taxed.

...but do have ten years' 'education' in the matter and biblical studies. Worship leader was my main thing.

...when I fell ill a couple years back. Couldn't straighten out my accounts with them. Finally off the damned thing, but I'm afraid to go back.
