There is no limit on the amount of money that can be taken out of or brought into the United States. However, if a person or persons traveling together and filing a joint declaration (CBP Form 6059-B) have more than $10,000 in currency or negotiable monetary instruments, they must fill out a “Report of International Transportation of Currency and Monetary Instruments” FinCEN 105 (former CF 4790).

Please be aware, if persons/family members traveling together have more than $10,000, they cannot divide the currency between each other to avoid declaring the currency.

(above is from https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/195/kw/MAXIMUM%20MONEY%20TO%20TAKE%20OUT)

All she had to do is fill out a form and she was able to legally take the $12,400 out. I’ve read that the Customs people usually help fill out the forms.

Whenifhow :" The Awan story is – at the very least – a tale of massive government incompetence that seemingly allowed a family of accused swindlers
to bilk federal taxpayers out of millions and even put national secrets at risk"

That's the "money quote" of the whole article .
I am relieved to see the story now appearing in the mass media and getting some attention.
The nations security may depend on it !

It would be extremely informative to find out how Florida Representative Wexler may have been referred to the Awan family IT enterprise.
Also, interesting to see what kind of references were proffered, and what, if any vetting was done.

Caucus on U.S.-Turkish Relations (co-founder)

I wonder if that relates to the Turkish lobby corruption that was going on with Joseph Wilson et al. around that time.

Paki spy, Imran Awan, was first employed in 2004 by former Democrat Rep. Robert Wexler (Dem-FL) as an “information technology director”

Florida Democrat Rep. Robert Wexler got forced out of office ---branded a liar. Wexler falsified US govt documents and duped voters to get into Congress---using his MIL's address to establish residency in the district. He actually lived in Maryland.

In July 2008, it was revealed that then-Cong Robert Wexler claimed his mother-in-law's home in Delray Beach, Fla as his official residence (though he was listed on the House roll as "Democrat-Boca Raton")...he actually lived in a Maryland suburb for most of the year.

Edward J. Lynch, a Republican running for Wexler's congressional seat, researched Wexler's living arrangements and took his argument to Fox News. "The house he lists on his voter registration is his in-laws' house, in a gated 55-and-older community," Lynch said. "Legally, he can't move back with children under 18."

After Wexler was confronted about the allegation, he stated that his mother-in-law does own the house in Delray Beach. But he also said he stays there when in Florida which, according to his office is, on average, about twice a month.

As a putative Florida resident, Wexler did not pay personal income tax, and his vehicles were also registered in that state, despite his near-permanent residency in Maryland and the Washington metropolitan area.

Wexler, born in 1961, did not meet the age requirements for his mother-in-law's senior community. Wexler later obtained a separate address within Palm Beach County.

BACKSTORY--CONG WEXLER APPOINTS HIMSELF ISLAMIC PEACEMAKER Then-Cong Wexler founded the Congressional Caucus on US-Turkish Relations and got himself a seat on a Congressional Study Group on Turkey.

As the putative "Fla Congressman (ousted for lying)," Wexler inveigled the US to launch a "cooperative effort" to further Islamic Turkey's "economic and military self-reliance."

At Wexler's behest, the US stupidly loaned and granted Islamic Turkey more than $7 billion in economic aid, and more than $14 billion in military assistance.

=========================================

LEST WE FORGET--Islamic TURKEY received $21 billion economic/military US foreign aid (orchestrated by Wexler---a Fla Congressman forced out of office for lying).

The ex-Fla Congressman inveigled the US to launch a "cooperative effort to further Turkish economic and military self-reliance," so the US stupidly loaned and granted Turkey more than $7 billion in economic aid and more than $14 billion in military assistance.

So much for "peace and cooperation." Turkey is now acquiring nuclear weapons and the ex-Fla Congressman is now running a.n.o.t.h.e.r Mideast (cough) "Peace" group sucking up US tax dollars. Not yet determined is the number of tax dollars the duplicitous Congressman siphoned off for himself via earmarks to run his (gag) peace group.

Countless US assets---our embassies, ships and military bases are bombed----our military and diplo-personnel savaged, killed, maimed and tortured by fanatics in Mideast hellholes---and invariably the US gets the blame: "We weren't stern enough, we weren't strong enough"---and my personal favorite----"we didn't give them enough money," etc etc etc.

UPDATE--Robert Wexler advised the Obama campaign on Israel and Mideast affairs.

Robert Wexler and Bibi Netanyahu.
