&gt;  Sounds like someone wanted an untraceable 11 grand. Shady.<p>It is not &quot;shady&quot; in any way, shape, or form to want all of ones private financial affairs to be completely untraceable.<p>No one should, ever, under any circumstances, be required to justify or explain possession of cash or items of high value absent clear, tangible evidence of wrongdoing.<p>Furthermore, eleven thousand dollars is chump change, and not only that, these criminals and thieves with badges are harassing people for carrying as little as $500.
