Its a well know fact just about EVERY US Dollar that has been circulation a few weeks has traces of Drugs on them.

BTW: given a lot of Banks limit ATM withdrawals to to around $500 or less per day. This could have taken him 1/2 a month to pull off.

#3 I am starting to think those dogs are trained to smell $100 bills.

Funny story: years ago on a camping trip with my girls for the ymca y-princess program. A state trooper came out for a drug sniffing demonstration. After explaining how good the dog was at detecting marijuana two Fathers slow started to try and sneak away from the group…

Who 'bout trained to respond a certain way when their handler gives them the correct cue?

#6 We had a drug sniffing dog on the base. One day I was tasked with accompanying the team through the unit barracks. It went bonkers on one of the lockers. The kid that had the locker was not a druggie type, more like like an overweight nerd. He came to barracks and opened up the locker. It was a friggin 7-11 snack aisle in there. Seems the dog was trained with chocolate chip cookies as a reward.

#8 ....Speaking of sniffing, for some reason this doesn't pass the sniff test. He doesn't trust banks, but he had it IN a bank long enough to accumulate almost ninety grand, and then had to take it out from an ATM when he could have gotten a cashier's check or money orders, all of which are a damned sight more secure than hauling around cash - he could have had those tucked on his person.

In the words of Ricky Ricardo, "I dun blivit."

hehad it IN a bank long enough

I don't see the need for any bank to accumulate the cash, except perhaps for cashing checks, and then only keeping the sum in the bank long enough to make cash withdrawals. News media keep reporting finds of large amounts of cash when buildings are razed or remodeled, or when hoarders hoards are cleaned out.
These sorts of legalized robbery should have been outlawed years ago, but our legislators have more important things to do.
