When a corrupted government wishes to “selectively enforce” against a freedom minded American, this criminal provision 4 is frequently employed. It was employed, for instance, in the case of Ed and Elaine Brown, who were criminally prosecuted 5 for structuring. The couple lived in New Hampshire and she was a dentist. They paid for their house with postal money 6 orders, which is where the jurisdiction to prosecute came from. The front of the money order says “Valid only within the 7 United States”, and the “United States” they were talking about was federal territory not within any state. 8 The corrupted government was able to successfully prosecute Ed because he wasn’t familiar with the factual requirements 9 associated with the mandatory filing of Currency Transaction Reports (C.T.R.’s) . These reports can lawfully be produced 10 ONLY when the party subject to them is lawfully engaged in a statutory “trade or business” . Here is the requirement to 11 report, found in 31 CFR §103.30. 12

(a) Reporting requirement —

(1) Reportable transactions —

24

(i) In general. Any person (solely for purposes of section 5331 of title 31, United States Code and this section, “person” shall have the same meaning as under 26 U.S.C. 7701 (a)(1)) who, in the course of a trade or business in which such person is engaged, receives currency in excess of $10,000 in 1 transaction (or 2 or more related transactions) shall, except as otherwise provided, make a report of information with respect to the receipt of currency. This section does not apply to amounts received in a transaction reported under 31 U.S.C. 5313 and §

(ii) Certain financial transactions. Section 6050I of title 26 of the United States Code requires persons to report information about financial transactions to the IRS, and 31 U.S.C. 5331 requires persons to report similar information about certain transactions to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. This information shall be

33

reported on the same form as prescribed by the Secretary.

34

(2) Currency received for the account of another. Currency in excess of $10,000 received by a person for the account of another must be reported under this section. Thus, for example, a person who collects delinquent accounts receivable for an automobile dealer must report with respect to the receipt of currency in excess of $10,000 from the collection of a particular account even though the proceeds of the collection are credited to the account of the automobile dealer (i.e., where the rights to the proceeds from the account are retained by the automobile dealer and the collection is made on a fee-for-service basis).(3) Currency received by agents — (i) General rule. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section, a person who in the course of a trade or business acts as an agent (or in some other similar capacity) and receives currency in excess of $10,000 from a principal must report the receipt of currency under this section.(ii) Exception. An agent who receives currency from a principal and uses all of the currency within 15 days in a currency transaction (the “second currency transaction”) which is reportable under section 5312 of title 31, or 31 U.S.C. 5331 and this section, and who discloses the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of the principal to the recipient in the second currency transaction need not report the initial receipt of currency under this section. An agent will be deemed to have met the disclosure requirements of this paragraph (a)(3)(ii) if the agent discloses only the name of the principal and the agent knows that the recipient has the principal's address and taxpayer identification number.

The term “trade or b usiness” is then defined as “the functions of a public office” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(26). 52
