What you mean is there are instances here and there where tickets sell for more than face. This does not happen often enough for anyone to make a consistent business income of it, rather than selling for commissions.
But can you think of any crime in which depositing cash in your mank, ill-gotten as it may be, is a more fitting target for law enforcement than the crime itself?
In Chafee's case, do the rumors of child molestation have substance or not? The prosecutor's job is to go out and find evidence, and enough of it to satisfy the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard of criminal procedure.
The problem is that whereas the $10,000 limit is at least a bright-line rule, depositing smaller amounts can be construed as a crime whenever a prosecutor wants to make it so. And yes, this can affect you.
In what universe are game and concert tickets "underpriced?" Here in Arizona, where ticket resale is legal in all venues, including the Super Bowl, there is no tendency for resellers to speculatively buy up tickets in hopes of reselling them for more.
Our commercial ticket brokers make money on commissions, not on price speculators, competing openly with casual sales by individuals. In fact, event promoters use our public secondary market as a guide to pricing, because that's what the market will bear.
This is a general rule in natural languages. The shortest, most commonly used words have the most meanings, and the most irregular verb in any language is the verb of being.
" If you have a better way to catch criminals engaged in money laundering, by all means let us know."
Instead of making up an ugly-souding name like "money laundering," just repeal all the laws against dealing in cash and go get real evidence aginst criminals for actual instances of child molesting, bribery or drug dealing.
The federosaurus is using the same ploy as those states which prohibit reselling concert or game tickets. They call it "ticket scalping" to make reselling on the open market sound more nefarious than reselling, say, that lawnmower you can no longer use after you hurt your back.
This subject came up in last week's bust of FIFA. Deternined forensic rooting around would probably find a lot of evidence that FIFA officials bribed their way through at least the last couple of decades. But the FBI did not have that evidence, so it took the easy way out, US banking laws criminalize dealing in cash. It's technically a crime to deposit more than $10,000 into a US bank at one time. So is making smaller deposits over any length of time, which is called "structuring." Everybody deposits cash on occasion and in technical violation, so structuring is a handy charge to use when you want to put someone away but don't have enough real evidence.
Now tha this has bitten Republicans, perhaps Congress will repeal this mess after the next election when there won't be a veto.
When waste is put into dry storage like Yucca Mountain, where you want to be able to use it later, you want to space it out. In an ultimate disposal scenario, burning it up is good.
Actually, you would want to keep the waste crammed together at the bottom of the hole and hope for some new fission inside the granite deep vault I describe. It wouldn't go anywhere and would dramatically reduce the time it takes for the whole thing to decay. It would also demonstrate the folly of throwing spent fuel away in the first place. Wouldn't we rather reuse the fuel to generate more power?
Interestingly, the Nevada Test Site is exactly where I have seen the kind of holes I have in mind. Our fossil fuel experience has given us the ability to drill holes eight and twelve feet in diameter, die-straight, thousands of feet down through every kind of rock. The holes I saw were for setting off large H-bombs at the bottom of without affecting anything on the surface. Compared to that usage, a piddly spent fuel meltdown won't even be detectable.
Bribery, tax evasion, trafficking and drug dealing are crimes in their own right, and are just as much crimes in other countries as in the US. A prosecutor should be able to marshal evidence against a perpetrator of any of these without resorting to made-up economic crimes like depositing cash into banks. But Congress decided to criminalize banking as a power play to establish the jurisdiction of US law in places where it doesn't belong - you know, imperialism.
The US interest in the FIFA affair is not because of any concern with the healthy development of soccer, but because we get to make an example of a wealthy foreign twirly-mustache organization for the crime of depositing cash in American banks. While our liberals call it "imperialism" when we bomb ISIS to save minority populations from genocide, bullying foreign banks into adopting our insanely complex regulations against dealing in cash is just fine with them.
Long-term disposal of waste (which you wouldn't want to do, because you would be throwing away usable energy): select any part of the country not in a volcanic plume or on a tectonic boundary. Drill through any sedimentary rock until you reach 'basement' strata, and then keep going for another few thousand feet. Dump your waste into the hole until the level approaches the bottom of the sedimentary layer. Plug with concrete to the top of the basement rock, then backfill the sedimentary. You will not see that waste again until long after it has cooled off.
"Securing spent fuel for 100,000 years" would be required only in the once-through scenario. Recycle it so you can 'burn' that 100,000 years' worth of energy, and that problem disappears.
And at age 74, not only will she no longer be as mobile as she was then ("My cane's stuck in the cell wall!") but the other crew will be less enthusiastic about pulling the rogue antibodies off her than they were in the movie.

In this case, that squeezes you.

You're a little confused. Our plan is to use kittens as reaction mass, not babies.

Because it's the means that are illegal, if you have evidence to prove that, not depositing the funds.

No, it's like a crippled, alcoholic deck swabber on the Titanic winning an argument with a passenger over a deck chair.
