$18.5K seized from BC escort on her way home from U.S.

[Smother]

I sure like to know how it is.....hey....maybe she's been reviewed on here before ....

She should claim that she is a famer and she RAISED A LOT OF COCKS

Dellhi- Did you mean farmer? Reason I ask is that there used to be A. Fame(r) frequenting this board. She used to raise a lot of cocks too.

Have some compassion, some girls go up there without much guidelines from their new employers or old agents. A reputable agent would prepare a lady before she gets on the flight as well as before she leaves the USA for the first time with all her loot. Shame on the higher ups who didn't care to fill her in.

If she brought in that much cash and money order from the US back to Canada, didn't properly file it with the customs, got caught while doing it. The Canadian custom knows she's an escort (presumably she is Canadian escort). Will that be a problem for her the next time she tries to cross the border since it's illegal for her to work in the US assuming she doesn't have a US working permit and she probably didn't pay any tax the US gov if she made all that dough while she was there.

AllThe smartest thing to do would be to have an american account and just deposit it in there. Using fed-ex is no safer than carrying it on hand as CBSA sort through all parcel coming in to fed ex, UPS and all.

No need to open a US bank account. She went to the effort of buying money orders when she could have just gone to a Western Union agent in the United States and done money transfers to herself in Canada. Then when she got back to Canada all she would have had to do was go to a local Western Union agent and give her name and the transfer codes to pick up her money. Would have cost her about the same as buying the money orders.

That was very very dumb. She probably has done that many times before so thought she would get away again this time.

I, myself, have never been caught.

I know a guy who tried to bring $50 thousand US into Canada and he had a gun in his car. When all the dust cleared he got all his money back and a $500 gun charge. The biggest penalty was the bill from the lawyer. The money was drug related but he stated he had sold diamonds in the US. The other thing that can happen to this lady is saying goodbye to visiting the US. She has admitted to criminal behaviour in the US so they likely will blacklist her from re-entry in the future.

Sighs... all that sex for nothing.

All that sex for nothing? She mighta had a bit of fun too, ya never know!

Yes, it must be declared. I walked across the border with a large cheque one day and declared it. It wasn't made out to me, and they had no interest in it. Interesting. It seems ok to carry it made out to a company doing business in the US. Figure that out.

Easy: cheques leave paper trails. They don't care that money is moving, they just want a paper trail they can follow if'n'when they need to.

 

[littlejimbigher]

The real reason that Canada got rid of the $1000 bill is not because of fear of money laundering but because the US demanded it be cancelled. In the bank I am with the main demand for the thou was Chinese New Year for the red envelopes being given as gifts.

The 1K bills were acyually a pain in the ass if you tried to pass them at a bank. TD and BMO both filled out FINTRAK forms on me. No real criminal would want that.

When I was younger and dumber I flew in from Italy with 10k worth of Euros (20k CAD at the time) in my purse. At Canadian customs they looked under the stacks of bills, then let me through no problems.

(It wasn't all mine, btw- don't all go running off to strip in Italy, lol).

 

[westwoody]

Since you were coming from Italy they may have confused the Euros with lira. 20 000 lira is about maybe a dollar?

 

[Scarlett]

Could be...it was March 2002, and the lira went out of circulation Feb 28th 2002.
