Many years ago after withdrawing $9900 from the bank, I got a call from the FBI. The agent informed me that the bank contacted the FBI regarding my withdrawal. He was following up and inquired about it. My response to him was stating the law and how the bank just violated it by contacting them. The FBI agent asked me, How so? I responded by saying, "The law states that a financial institution shall report for any amount over $10,000. My withdrawal was $9900, so why am I talking to you?" His response was, "Well, we just follow up on the tips we get." That's when I said, "You contacting me after the bank violated the law is ironic. It's very clear about privacy. In good conscience, it indicates my next move is to immediately close my account at that bank. Thank you for your time. Is there any other questions." The FBI agent said, "No, I think that's pretty much it."

I immediately went to the bank and demanded to talk to the manager in the lobby. There were many people there at the time and I was very loud. I told him I am closing my account with the bank and needed a cashier's check for the full amount in my account. I then said in a very loud voice that one of your staff members violated the law and reported me simply because I withdrew money from my account. Many people heard me. I told him I will never do business with this bank again due to their unethical behavior. That was it. I received my cashier's check and as people looked at me leaving, I looked directly at them as I walked out.
