Well... I was giving out the cash, and you did say... and I quote, "don't bug me NOW dude! Can't you see she's in to me?!?"

Lie. Wells Farkgo would have charged him more than $10K for the withdrawal in the first place. I effin HATE WF. They suck donkey balls.

I kind of always want a counterfeit $5 on me. So when a homeless person asks for change and I give him some, if he turns around and asks for more I'll have a bonus to throw in.

Bigdogdaddy: Now he can sue the bank for letting him have the money when they knew he was drunk.

i have a debit card that i cant take more than 400 bucks off of a day. If he could take 10 grand off an account from an atm then something was wrong - if you can get drunk and go to a bank and demand your life savings on a plate then something is wrong.

If he wanted to give the money then fine - but he should be willing to give it sober or not at all - i dont want to take someones money if they are going to regret it. That would make me a bad person for being willing to take advantage of someone who may not be aware of their actions.

Its like having sex with a girl whos close to passing out. -- its not rape but goddamnit any decent human being would have the decency to take pity on someone who isnt in a good state.

Tattoo artists dont ink drunk people... If its not ok to take their consent why is it ok to take their money?

If get you blind drunk that doesnt mean i can sit you down infront of a cheque book and make you sign me blanks...

.... or he's just rich as fark and felt like having fun. I know when i have tons of cash laying around I get pretty loose with it. Hell I used to get shiat faced and give away hundreds of dollars online via hosted games of iRacing.

Can't do this on a $26K/year earning.

Amazed he wasn't followed and mugged. But I am cynical.

I guess I missed the part where it said he was drunk during any part of this. And he apparently didn't express regrets when he came back another day.

Also, you don't get ten grand from the ATM. You go inside, request a grip from the teller, swipe your card, enter your PIN, and get your cash. I know. I've seen me do it. /Ron_White

Being drunk is never an excuse for anything. All drunkeness does is make a person less inhibited.

I've been drunk many times and have done stupid things. Never anything violent or permenantly stupid.

Some people are assholes.

Glenwood Springs is always great around Christmas or anytime for that matter, even without the guy giving out money. Dotsero, not so much.

And you fill out some paperwork because any cash transaction over $5k requires it.

Jeez. I can smell the BS coming out of the monitor. Who writes this stuff?

While I agree with you; the law doesn't. Which is a shame, because, I think it's retarded.

Know how I know you've never withdrawn $5k-10k? The trigger is a withdrawal or combination of withdrawals over $10,000. Or a pattern that would indicate you're trying to skate just under the limit ($9,900 day after day). I've never had to do anything more than swipe/PIN for $10k or less.

Deposits are much more likely to get attention if they're cash but, again, the trigger for a required report is $10k or a pattern indicating an attempt to stay just under the required reporting limit.

When you say $5k, I think you're mixing up cash banking transactions with automatic tax withholding on casino/gaming/gambling payouts over $5k.

Bigdogdaddy: Now he can sue the bank for letting him have the money when they knew he was drunk.

Letting him have it? It's his money. Part of being an adult means you suffer the consequences of your own bad decisions. It is not the whole world's responsibility to keep people from acting stupidly.

You're right - In fact, I tried to post a correction but somehow messed that up. Since the original discussion was about $10k, it doesn't really matter whether the trigger is 5 or 10.

Over $10,000. Over. $10,000.01 and up.

Aw, you caught me. Good luck executing a cash transaction for exactly 10k without scrutiny. Maybe your bank is less cautious than mine. I've watched someone have to write it all up for 9k because he was close (full disclosure - he initially asked for more than 10 and changed after being told he couldn't do that, which is suspicious). I've even had to do extra work just because I was depositing a check over 10k.

Exactly, first thing I thought of. WF most certainly has a CTR filled out on him, and if he's real lucky a SAR filed that the bank is not allowed to tell the customer by law that one was filed.

/SAR can be filed for any amount, completely at teller's discretion
//fark a bank
///would getting random $50 bills be bad luck? Or just don't gamble with it, buy more beer

A**hole 1%er.

I'd bet that he was about to lose the money anyway. Like to an ex-wife or lose it in some other manner that he had no control over. If that was the case, I'd do the same thing.

not impressed (new window)

Actually this is incredibly stupid. The people at the bank probably didn't even need the money and who knows what the people did with the money. The best money give away ever was the lady who went to K-mart and paid off lay-away's with toys on them that were about to go deliquent. That is pure awesome there. Giving an extra hundred to someone who is already at a bank withdrawing money, not so much.

Umm, IANAL, but I think that probably IS rape...

The article says NOTHING about him being drunk, only that he got a ride from the pub. The only mention of drunkenness comes from the Fark headline. If this was something he wanted to do and it made him feel good, great for him. I'm sure he brightened 100 people's faces that day. Merry Christmas everyone!
