Problem With Postal Inspectors

[mrjuice]

I received a phone call from a postal inspector asking why I have been sending large amounts of cash to a specific P.O. BOX. Now this p.o. box is the "cash pickup" p.o. box for my source, so I assume that my source is being watched, and his mail being opened. I said that I was sending cash to the P.O. BOX of a charity, and that I probably wrote down the wrong p.o. box number. Before I could say anything else, they hung up on me. This was two weeks ago, and I have heard nothing since. My house was clean BEFORE the postal inspector ever first called, so I know I'm safe. But is it illegal to send cash to the p.o. box of a known source, even if the postal inspector can't prove what the cash was to be used for?

Sending cash to someone isn't illegal. Sending cash in order to get illegal substances, is ILLEGAL. Now it's all a matter of circumstances.

The hardest thing for LEO is not to find drugs or the dealers, but rather make a link between this and that, between this shipment and that money.

A unique payment may be hard to prove, but frequent payments can bring suspicion and evidence on you.

If the postal inspector knows you were sending large amounts of cash, then he's been opening your source's packages for a while. Also means its goodies sent, were also opened.

Good luck to you.

Obviously the investigators are on a fishing expedition. If they had PC you would have already been arrested.

Here's a better idea. Next time any law enforcement officer begins asking questions, tell them... nothing.

I think it goes without saying that it would not be prudent to accept any packages at this point.
