Seems he took out upwards of $400,000 in cash from his bank in amounts just less than the $10,000 threshold at which point the withdrawals have to be reported to the feds. Rush makes $35 million a year, the story says, so why the briefcases full of cash? An intriguing question; I predict a mundane answer, like maybe he was paying cash to get a better deal on having his condo rehabbed.
Just for fun, let’s imagine what Rush needed the cash for, other than drugs.
Paying off a blackmailer.
Running a pyramid scheme.
Hiring spooks to dig dirt on Hilary Clinton
Fell for the Nigerian e-mail scam.
