The bank is following the IRS rules regarding cash deposits from unnamed sources.
Illegal money, tax evasion, frequent cash deposits raise red flags and banks have to report the transations.
It happened after she deposited a cheque from Hustler, not cash.

Anyway, why would a bank judge if a customer paid taxes on earnings?

The bank is not judging anyone.
They follow protocol and report suspicious deposits like check or cash.
The rest is tracked by other agencies.

They made a huge mistake.
I would have done the following and I got the ideas from two movies Hell or High Water 2016 and Killerman 2019.

With money get on a bus with seniors going to a casino. Cash in money for casino chips, sit a cafe and have drinks. Before leaving change chips for money and have casino deposit money to bank account. Get a receipt and just file taxes IRS.

They are a tax-paying business. It has more to do with the fact that they are in the sex industry. The banks don't want to be associated with that in any way - legal or not. It's wrong.
They want tax but they dont want to legalize the job seems rather shady. The minute an escort claims a business transaction with a name of a client its criminal since clients are illegal they have fucked escorts royally and the incell of this board like john5050 are proud the escort loses it all.

Some Italians have been doing exactly that for a while in Ontario and the cops got them a couple of years ago. I recall pics of confiscated Ferraris.

Get your facts straight before you make false accusations about me. And if you don't have a clue about what you say, then shut the hell up.

Wells Fargo ceased Canada operations in June 2010.
The Wells Fargo in this thread is located in the USA.
You should run for President and legalize prostitution in the US
Till such time it is an illegal business, operation or whatever you want to call it and criminal to operate.
Any large cash deposits or shady checks are subject to scrutiny and the bank's legal department can request additional information.

So stop your rants, get your facts in order and then toot your horn

the government does not protect the safety work place for escorts the cops do not work well with escorts in fact they dehumanize us if a hooker is missing its put as what do you expect if a civilian woman is missing its front page news and sought for help.sex workers rights are a joke in the world yet men want us on every corner available ithey need to fuckin decriminalize it not legalize it so this way more woman will claim and feel great about paying taxes building there empire.

Don't preach to me. Email the Prime Minister who is in a better position to hear your complaints and help your cause.
