Buy gold and get a safety deposit box. Gold increases in value so your $$ isnt collecting dust not growing. Plus you dont have to deal with foreign banks or international laws. Gold!!

well thats not a good solution...considering the forum you may understand what types of thing i need to protect it from..

THE COPS mostly..

they tend to label ANYONE a seller that has more than 3 plants.

No shit Sherlock. I am aware you are trying to keep $$ away from police which is why you want to take $$ offshore. Unless you are moving 50-100K at a time its really not worth the hassle of putting it in foreign country. Dont you think that feds moniter transactions to the Caymen islands? The Caymen islands is ( pardon the cliche) so 80's. It was a good idea then but the feds kinda figured that one out. Get a safety deposit box and get gold . Or get gold and bury it. cash transactions , espically ou of country, you need to explain where cash came from or get flaggeed. And no its not if its over 10K . Could be 2K and you can get flagged if its deemed suspicous. Besides with the patriot act monitering cash transactions out of the country its really not worth the risk. If i had a nickel for every guy that had $$ yanked from the in the Caymens I'd be a really rich guy.

Plus if you do try to hide it down there, chances are you'll have to pay a hefty %% to the bank to hide it. Which is why unles you are moving over 100k, its not worth it

How much cash are you trying to move? That may help in finding a solution

GOLD!!!.....you can buy it by the ounce and spray paint it for stealth. Paint it grey and it'll look like lead. Hell, hide it under the pebbles at the bottom of your fish tank...the possibilities are endless.

Seed

PS- If the US dollar ever fails like it did in the 30's that gold will insure that you'll eat another day.
 
Is your money legal? If its legal money and you have the records to prove it, then I couldn't imagine them trying to seize those financial assets.

Maybe a trusted friend/family member can hold the money for you?

seems like not too hard for a cop to find what bank the box is at..
a letter of inquiry to say the 5 most popular names in town and

what? you think the bank lady is going to go break a sweat
protecting the info?

once they know where it is, isnt it easy for them to get a warrant to
open it?

no, its not alot of money..but its all i have.
and nowhere to borrow some if it all get seized.

and if you get busted it wont tke much to figure out that your $$ is in the Caymens , then you get an international laundering charge. There is a risk in anything you do. Liek i said buy gold and bury it. Then you dont have to worry. You are making things alot harder then they have to be. If you arent a kingpin then i doubt you have alot of $$$ to hide. A gold bar can fit in a backpack and is 200K. Get gold and chill out

you guys are some pals.. like that puny ass safe will protect anything once the oinkers start carrying my pot plants / cash / computers out the door.
hell they'll take the sink if i used the water from it.

and people that got busted for growing never had a bank account seized?

We have told you the easist way to do it, you just choose to not listen. By gold and bury it , or take it to your mothers place and bury it. Gold is small espicially is its only o few thousand worth. You can hide it in walls, under floor boards, whereever. if cops bust you they have no reason to rip up flor boards. Stop being so paranoid.

not if it is a small number of plants...... commercial grows almost always have their financial accounts frozen.... thats why its a good idea to grow trees and not sea of green method... but it does vary from state to state on how they prosecute

if they are raiding your shit your pretty much fucked.....i think the only options are to bury it or have a safe house somewhere no one knows about.... dont know about you buy my "puny" safe is 250lbs and cost me almost a grand... i wouldnt trust anyone... cept my parents to hold any amount of cash for me.... some people turn into animals once they have possession of a large amount of cash... you never can tell till its too late

Wife works at a bank and they dont even blink until the transaction reaches 10k then there are guidelines and authorities MUST be notified. Up to that point no worries.

babba, i am not going to argue with you. However, its generally a rule that 10K and up is flagged. But any suspicious cash trasactions are also up for red flag as well. I had a friend get flagged for 3k before. It may depend on the bank and situations , but peopel shouldnt get a false sense of security if they keep it under 10k.

Well my wife has worked at a bank for many years Im just telling the people how the banks do it. Not sure why they would flag 3k transactions, the guys that work for me cash bigger checks then that every payday. True theres nothing to argue about .... but in this day and age with house payments averaging well over 2k i wouldnt think a 5k check is anything to even blink at. But the LAW says they will report anything 10k or over. I would say use common sense....if you dont have a bank account at that bank dont even think of cashin a check there that will throw a flag right away.

then that sounds great..
i dont even have 10k.

i googled and theres a bunch of canada online banks.
why do i give a shit what homeland security knows of my cananda
deposit. its not money i got from drugs or anything .
its years of a poor mans squirreling.

I dont see anyone seizing a canada bank account for growing some weed in my closet. I do see them doing it if its a local account. perhaps i am wrong but i dont really know what things get siezed..and when and for what.
