Nathan's Corner
"Quote: OnceDearThis makes no sense! If you have $10,000 illegally, why would you be taking it and wagering it in a casino? If you keep it in your pocket and stay home, no CTR is triggered! If you let 10 stooges wager $1,000 each, you get no pleasure from it, so what's the point?
What is the point of this sub-thread?
Street crooks have lots of cash, mostly small bills. A decent operation will have shopping bags full of cash that no legit bank will deal with.
In NY, one group had an unusual idea. They brought a horse trainer into the mix. It was pretty simple. They sent out smurfs to various locations and using kiosks bet $1,000s on a horse which would scratch before racetime. The tickets, bought with $5s and $10 were refunded in $50s and $100s. Seemed like a lot of work and the security people at NY racing eventually found the unusual betting patterns.
You can fit $1,000,000 in hundred dollars bills in a large shoe box. With $5 bills, it's a couple of large garbage bags or twenty shoeboxes
Which is easier to hide or transport?.
Quote: NathanIn my job we had a training where we learned of money laundering and structuring and that CTR post reminded me of our training(Hence one person would just get 9 other people to split the $10,000 to avoid the CTR), and the replies talking about how convoluted that would be. ;)
Ok. I admit it. Nathan caught me. I bought $9800 worth of dental floss at a Walgreens. But then a day later I bought $250 worth of dental floss at a different Walgreens. The astute cashier at the second Walgreens put out what they call a DFMLAPB (Dental Floss Money Laundering All Points Bulletin), and wham!, the first Walgreens cashier called the second Walgreens cashier. They used a calculator and found out that the total was $10050, so they realized I was structuring my dental floss purchases! They alerted the authorities who contacted me for an investigation. Luckily, I had proof that a crown I had was a millimeter off and required me flossing like 5 times a day. So I had incontrovertible evidence that I needed far more dental floss than the average person. Additionally, around Christmas time I give out lots of gift card bonuses, and convinced the FBI that I was including 2 spools of DF (dental floss) with each gift card. I had some friends sign affidavits that I had gifted them DF as well.
I'm just telling everyone this in case they were thinking about using DF purchases to launder money, don't! The training the Walgreens staff gets will nail you every time! But I have some more inside information.... the Rite Aid cashiers are not nearly up to date on this stuff. Bought 1200 bottles of mouthwash and I don't think the cashier was on to me! I think since some was generic and some was Listerine fooled them! And they even had a salesperson help me bring the MW (mouthwash) to my car! Next time I may try buying laundry detergent! How funny would that be to launder my money buying laundry detergent!
Gotta go now..... need to buy 800 nail clippers at CVS.....

So you associate a word used mostly by the less educated with the South? Interesting.

You did not use a capital letter to begin your sentence.
You used an unnecessary contraction.
You failed to use an apostrophe in "Im"
You failed to add a space after the end of your sentence.
You associated the use of "ain't" with the American "South" whereas it is more properly associated with the Scotch-Irish.

Quote: NathanReally tacky to sue your relative in law after her husband died. She's a grieving widow for God's sake!
Depends on the facts.
For all you know the "grieving widow" may have been a liar, fraud, cheat and deserves to get sued.

It seems like her late husband won money by gambling and his surviving relatives sued/tried to sue her for that money. That's skeevy and tacky. :(
Quote: NathanAw man, Andrew Gillum LOST. :( I wanted him to win so bad. This is some bullcrap! :( I am very upset about this. :( I am picturing Rhoda Penmark from The Bad Seed stomping around after being reminded she lost the chance to win the coveted Penmanship Medal for Most Improved Penmanship. That was the first visual image in my head when I found out Gillum lost. :(
Gillum lost, but Florida WON. Not much will change in Florida under Ron, and for most residents, that will be a good thing. Have faith your hard work and wise life choices will pay off!

And that CREEP Rick Scott won! Florida is Doomed under Rick Scott. He's a slimy snake! Woohoo! Both of my choices lost, Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum!Hooray! I'm on Cloud nine! :(

Not a good thing for Florida. We have real problems here. DeSantis has no plan to fix anything, from overdevelopment to red tide to nearly 1 million uninsured to a dozen other state-wide problems.
You really should take a look at his 2 debates. Or his website with no position of note. He had nothing. All he had was Trump endorsement and racist dog-whistles.
He beat a better candidate in the primaries, one who could actually have served the state well. He beat him by sucking up to Trump and Trump responding.
No idea what people are thinking.

I will agree Putnam may. have been the “better” candidate but I’m betting at least 2 of the other 3 Dem Primary challenges would have beaten DeSantis. And it’s wasnt racism that cost Gillum, it was radicalism.
And as you said before, let’s take it over the political thread and stop clogging up Nathan’s.
:D I read all 61 of The 62 Goosebumps Books, but 62, Monster Blood 4 is the hardest to find since it went out of print or something like that. Lots of other people also mentioned that they couldn't find MB4 anywhere. MB4 was on my bucket list for a long time and I bought it on Amazon! Thank you Amazon, thank you generous Poster! :D
Interesting note, think the lady paints only one hand with fingernail polish, so it looks like she isn't alone in the video.
Quote: MrVFor a rollicking great read, check out that modern American masterpiece "A Confederacy of Dunces," by John Kennedy Toole.
That book is mentioned in one of my favorite movies, Sideways. If you have a copy, how much will you sell it for?

Sideways is also one of my favorite movies.
"Confederacy of Dunces" is okay but certainly not one of my favorite books.

I've always thought of reading that book -- is it based on Don Quixote? (my all time favorite book)
Quote: NathanAw man, I must have been a weird child. Adults nowadays say that as a child the scene in Wizard Of Oz with the Flying Monkeys scared them the most. But as a child, the scene that personally scared me the most was when the window pane hits Dorothy in her head and she gets knocked out. I remember feeling so scared like,"Poor girl. She just got knocked out by that window pane! That isn't good!" No one ever mentions that being scary to the best of my knowledge. The Flying Monkeys scene was weird and confusing to me, not scary, like WTF?
I was one of those kids who was kind of freaked out by the Wizard of Oz. It was probably my scariest movie until the first Alien movie came out. As I recall, the scariest scene for me was when the Wicked Witch was splashed and melted by water. I imagined it like being like acid.
About getting his with the window pane, that wouldn't even make my top ten scariest moments in the movie. The tornado in general was quite scary though. Getting hit by a pane of glass is something one can imagine. Then again, my brother was terrified of getting hit by a foul ball whenever we went to a Dodgers or Angels game. I think my father had to bring a baseball glove and promise to catch the ball before it hit my brother in the head.

I watched this was I was very young and it had to be the scariest thing I had seen.
Warning could contain offensive content.
Anyone remember HR Puffnstuff and the witch? I barely remember I just know the show was crazy when I was a kid and remember the witch.
I think if I had seen this in a movie theater with gullible people, it might have scared me. But I saw it freshman year of college, full lecture hall of about 700 students and priests, all of us drunk on .50 beer. It was a Jesuit university, so there was a huge amount of interest in it, and you could say a lot of expertise.
And people screamed with laughter at how cheesy and hyped-up it was from minute one. It was the 2nd funniest movie they showed all year, right behind Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More.
Not what the filmmakers intended, I'm sure. Still laughing today, remembering how riotous it was in there.
Plus the guy hanging himself, but I never thought the movie was scary, besides the wicked witch.Quote: WizardI was one of those kids who was kind of freaked out by the Wizard of Oz.

The guy never hung himself. It was found out to be a inanimate prop.
Quote: AxelWolfI'm fairly certain Linda Blair has been possessed ever since the movie.
Oh snap!

The Wicked Witch Of The West was such a large ham in that scene,"I'm melting, I'm melting! Look what you did you little brat! Who would have thought such a good little girl like you would end my evil wickedness?" I paraphrased some dialogue by memory. ;) LMAO! :D

Perhaps you're joking, but that is an urban legend.
Quote: PokerGrinderNathan complaining about having a thread hijacked... hmm so many jokes, so little time.
When I inadvertently hijack a thread it's as a tangent that was mentioned by someone else, for example, the Alimony thing. Like two other people brought up Alimony in a thread about a guy trying to hide his Jackpot and I responded to both of them and I got suspended for two weeks for mentioning Alimony twice in a thread about a guy trying to hide his Jackpot. That's a different type of hijack then turning someone's on topic thread into a mini chat room or straight up fighting other posters.

No. No, it's not different. That's what you fail to grasp about it. You have no complaint coming about ANYBODY hijacking. AND what are you doing, whining about how you're treated on another board, on this one!
I don't follow your "career" on other boards, but I'd be willing to bet that was other people tired of you hijacking a lot of THEIR threads revenge-hijacking yours.
Probably wasting my time even talking to you, since you've ignored so much of what I've said before on these topics, but I refuse to leave this kind of nonsense unchallenged.
I wasn't joking, thought it was true, remember seeing it in the background. Didn't know this was resolved, hadn't thought of it since the 90s, so haven't kept up with it.Quote: WizardPerhaps you're joking, but that is an urban legend.

Which is exactly why I chose to rant about the hijacking thread of mine on another gambling website on my Nathan's Corner rather than somewhere else on this website. This thread is for me to spew my random thoughts and feelings, so that definitely counts. :)
