Richmond woman interrogated by border guards over 14k declared from Casino

she played with the slot stick and got 14k. not to hard to believe

Sounds like customs was doing their job. If she's working in the industry she needs a much better story.

It is not CBSA's job to interrogate someone 90 minutes regarding the stated source of the cash.

It is their job to accept the Declaration of the importation of the cash and then submit the report to FINTRAC for further investigation.


And if you think every female with cash is "working in the industry" then you might be interested in my 73 year old mother who comes back with cash from Vegas more than a few times. :yo:

Or you need to get out and meet women other than sex workers.

Her claim that she got it from a foreign 'friend' begs the question. There is a reason I used "if" as a response to Malata's inference.

p.s. I'll take your word over FINTRAC. I don't tend to carry large amounts of cash over the border.

Border guards have every right to question anyone coming into the country with more than $10,000 regardless if they declare it or not.
There is always 2 sides to the story and somewhere in the middle is the truth.

Trip to Vegas? Foreign Boyfriend from China? $14,000 gift? From Casino winnings? She has no steady employment?

This bitch is selling pussy or in some Laundering scam. :rofl:

It's not uncommon to question anything over $10,000. I believe that's the rule.

I always thought that at US casinos, all winnings over $500 were held and the IRS gets their cut before any payment is made.
The IRS and casino would have records of such payouts.

They with hold taxes but winnings are still paid out
And if you are not a US citizen you can get those back easily enough

All she had to do at Customs was to show a Form W-2G that U.S. casinos issue on the spot when one wins at the tables or slot machines. On it, there is a withholding tax of 24% and the gross winnings. Obviously, she did not have one. Her story does not hold water.

it's common knowledge anything above 10k in cash can post a lot of questions for the border officials...and they have authority to question you if they feel they need to...i'm sure if your 73 yr old mother comes back with more than 10k everytime she visits vegas, they will do the same...does that automatically mean a ho? no. it just means that's way above the restriction...

Trump will be ordering Canada to arrest her so that he can get a better trade deal with China.

If she received the money from her boyfriend wouldn't he have that? If she showed customs that form it might raise more questions because she says it's her money but with his name on it.

Casinos only tax winning from slots. If she played table games, her winnings would not be taxed, and their wouild be no slip.

I did not know that. Obviously I'm not a gambler. Thanks for correcting me.

We both know she did something illegal

The GUY wins money at casino
Hands her over a large amount of cash
She tries crossing border claiming her "boyfriend" gave it to her but when they search her cell phone she does not have a single picture of this guy
This also is not the first time she has had a "boyfriend" (comment about hoping this one sticks around by CBSA) as she has done this in the recent past

My take? She is a pro
She was paid to travel and take care of someone on location
She tried bringing money back this way thinking to disguise her wages as casino winnings

Not true at all
Any time winnings exceed a certain threshold (even on table games) they withhold taxes
Even on stuff like races, lotteries, card tournaments etc
You need to win more than $1000 on a hand but if you do so you def getting taxed on the spot

You don't always get the W2G but there is also a 1042S slip

Incorrect. If she won more than $800 or so on a single hand, she would have receive a W2G on the spot.

Except she didn't win. It was a gift from her "friend' who allegedly won it.

I think if you win over 600$ you will get a 1099 and you have to report this as income.
