MODERATORS
It must be nice to have thousands of dollars and have no idea where it came from. But realistically it's highly unlikely that you would walk around with it.
Presumably you either were handed it in which case you know where you got it from, or you got it out of the bank in which case you must have a business or lottery winnings or inheritance you can point to.
I cannot imagine any innocent scenario where you have vast of money (in currency form) of which you are unable to provide origin information on.
People sometimes carry tens of thousands of dollars in cash to buy cars in-person. It's more common than you think.
So they can advise where the cash comes from. The problem wasn't carrying it it was not been able to give an adequate explanation as to its origin.
The cops don't care, they'll claim you're lying and take the cash anyway.
