My partner had a family friend who moved to Australia and needed our help to get their money out of their account and move it to another account. We had to go around town and pull money from ATMs for like two weeks so my partner could then send it via Western Union to them. We went to HyVee or Kroger or whatever it was down the road from where we lived with this $6000 wad of cash and asked to send it. The clerk behind the counter about jumped out of her skin and called security, and two big guys in uniforms promptly stood around us eyeballing everyone who came within 5 feet of us while the clerk counted and stashed the cash. It was surreal. Up until that point it never dawned on me just how dangerous it was to do what we were doing.
