Talk about being clueless about what structuring is.  ::)

Nah, they're not completely off.

I can make 4 2k deposits at different banks on the same day and I am not guilty of breaking any structuring laws.

That only equals 8K.

Structuring is the breaking down of a CTR-triggering transaction in such a way as to attempt to evade bank reporting of CTR, which, as you know, is triggered at $10k, barring exceptions

Their gist is correct; there's no need to confuse their blue-collar workers with excess details. They'd rather more reports than less.

The point I am making is they are talking about structuring (breaking laws) as it relates to gift cards. They have no idea what the limits are as it relates to gift cards. What reporting are they required to do under federal law for gift card purchases?

Why would the limit of $10K vis a vis structuring be any different as it relates to GC?

Is that the limit for GC's? If that is true then many stores are violating federal law for not reporting my 10k+ GC purchases.

The memo makes it sound if a buy 21 100 GC's in separate transactions I am guilty of structuring for going over their 2k limit.

That's a question to which I'm not sure of the answer without doing a bit of research.

It wouldn't be, technically, though it'd violate CVS policy FWIW.

Good luck with that one. It is a mess.

I agree. That is why I made my original comment. The memo should address CVS policy and not some imaginary law that is being broke.

They never claimed they know the limits or reporting requirements in cases of gift card structuring. As they write pretty clearly:

"Splitting up the purchase of prepaid cards into multiple transactions may constitute structuring.
It is strictly against the law for customers to structure transactions to avoid the record keeping or reporting requirements required by law.
It is against CVS/pharmacy policy for customers to structure transactions to avoid CVS/pharmacy prescribed limits on money services products."

They only say that structuring GC purchases may be against the law, and that it is against the law to structure if there is a reporting requirement (which I'm not sure sure if there is, and it seems they're unsure of the same). Now, even if structuring for GCs is legal, corporate policy forbids it.

The memo should address CVS policy and not some imaginary law that is being broke.

It does, as quoted above.

That's like me saying getting 10 singles for a ten may be structuring. There was no need to even mention structuring in the memo. You want to make the company limit 2k go ahead but don't try to insinuate their is some federal law that requires any of this.

It's exactly these type so memos that cause employees at walmart to accuse MSers of money laundering and the like.

The fact is, however, that in the case of Walmart and MOs, it would be apropos to structuring.
