The bank teller must ask you questions to complete IRS Form 8300. If you appear to not be telling the truth, they secretly file a Suspicious Activity Report with the government.
If you want to move money from one account to another, I'd recommend a cashier's check or a wire transfer to do it all in one shot. If you want to actually hold the cash, you should make an appointment and be prepared to make multiple visits over a period of time, because honestly bank branches don't actually hold that much cash.
AFAIK, nothing bad actually happens to you. Unless you're engaged in criminal activity.
