He probably just doesn't trust those credit cards...









Italian financial
police said they stopped the rapper at the Lamezia Terme airport in
Calabria on Saturday with $422,000 in cash, well above the limit that
can legally be transported across EU borders undeclared. The incident
comes less than a week after Snoop Dogg was briefly stopped in Sweden on
suspicion of drug use after a concert near Stockholm.



Financial
police confirmed a report by the Italian news agency ANSA that half of
the cash was impounded under Italian anti-money laundering codes. In
such cases, the balance is returned minus any fine set by magistrates.

In the US he probably would have had all of the money confiscated and non of it ever returned. In the EU he is just facing a fine.

If Snoop didn't have high friends in high places, the IRS would be looking at that cash.

So much this. The 'crime' is having money that's not terribly easy for the government to track.

As do I but let's call it what it is, they are really just a means to steal money from people using the excuse of possibly preventing crime, they are not in the least worried about any crime except the one they perpetrate on the person possessing the non criminal instrument, money.

The holding of cash outside of the banks is a threat, in and of itself, to the stability of the fraudulent fractional reserve systems worldwide.

Government agents just do the work for the bankers.

I agree, but we currently do not live in that environment anymore. Now they use the money they steal from you along with a "blank check" from the treasury to fight you in court should you decide you want your money back.

No his crime was not declaring it upon entering the country. Laws that that have been in place since about forever.



Unlike some of the cases I see on this site were the person is going about their business never leaving the USA and gets their cash taken.

That's half of it. The failure to declare it was apparently the crime, while crossing a border.

That's fucking bullshit. Somebody that can't easily prove they have a 'right' to the money they carry shouldn't be allowed to keep it until they prove that they legitimately acquired it? Legitimacy determined by the same government that confiscates it in the first place?

Fuck that noise.
