#8 Amazing that the USA is stealing money and most feel it's a great thing??

Quick, Ulerert Ebbavith7568, name one innocent reason someone would anonymously ship tens of millions of dollars in undeclared cash to an offshore account. Not something I would find underneath the couch cushions, but perhaps you live differently.
