His friend had a fake electrical box in his house I guess it was just a dummy cover with a big void behind it. Apparently he stuffed 100k cash in it and forgot about it. He got divorced and his ex wife called him one day after a contractor found it during a remodel asking if he lost some cash lol she actually gave it back to him supposedly.

I just added another 1/4" to it of 100"s and 50$s to a total of $36,500. Not bad for on hand cash. I'll find something to spend it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICG Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 In the wrong neighborhood, they will kill you for a lot less. . . Still remeber carrying in white money bags as a kid into the office to buy parents first new 50' Hatteras. Marina owner went bonkers, when I told him, we were there to pick up the yacht. No, happier when I told him we were escorted with armed body guard. I wouldn't consider that today. And yes, found a wallet stuffed with cash this summer, gave it to the cops to return. Couldn't sleep at night scoffing someone's wallet. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomxz600 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 These days a large amount of cash just gets you a visit from the IRS, paying cash just doesn't have the same reaction it did when I was younger. When I was still working people always wanted a cash discount and the company won't do that. Placing 100-150 yards of concrete in your foundation and wanting a lesser price for cash didn't do a thing for you other than let you show off for a moment. Not like our company bought a new mixer with it or paid us that way. Cash is good for small things under 10K or a self employed person or a used motorcycle/sled private sale.

I have been carrying large amounts of cash since around 1969, never had any IRS issues, almost always pay with cash never use a credit card and don't know how to use an ATM, never even tried one, use a Debit card on line for things ordered, I deposit $1,000-$1,800 in cash every month into my Business account, any time it's a $1,000 or more I have to sign a slip they said is for the IRS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought my brothers Ocean 40 last spring, he bought a Searay 50 and we keep them at MRM now too. THey used to have some killer Hatteras parties back in the day.

Ironic, I was talking to a form contractor, that stressed he competes on 100% cash jobs. Pays supplier on discounted cash price. Who knows where the monkey business is happening?

I paid 9500$ for a bike this year and the shop said "smells like my grandparents basement" so I said attic. She responded and just under the amount we report to the IRS.
