    Who goes out with $3k cash? Even if you are so wealthy that the quantity is like $20 for normal people, that’s enough to make you a target if someone discovers you have it.

      That comedian… You know the one. The young Jerry Seinfeld… He did coke and then made a Netflix comedy show about doing coke.

      Idk, one time I had $20k in cash. It happens.

      Typically when you’re moving money, such as buying or selling something.

        I bet you didn’t casually leave it in your unattended bag. I paid $5k cash for a car once and planned that payment out carefully to minimize the time I had the money in hand.

          I once did some consulting for the IAEA in Vienna. They paid you in CASH at that time. As an American I felt really really uncomfortable walking around Vienna with 3-4k in my pocket. Austrians thought nothing of doing so.
