Everyone can fight like Mike Tyson on the internet...

I think I can speak for most of PH when I say 'oooooh, scared'.

No no no, everyone else on the internet is a geek, with the exception of the person that's making threats on the internet, they're the hardest person in the world.

Even if he has, I'm sure the police wouldn't hesitate to add a further charge of harassment whilst on parole, assuming we are still referring to the chap found guilty.

He's got a lot of doors to knock on then.

Well unless Mastodon 2 has tits he has nothing to fear, the guy is a small dicked ahole who beats up women, and yes I will happily wait whilst he goes round knocking on doors, as a bloke he will probably run if anybody offered him out, his sort always do.

After reading the last news report, I took a streetview gander down his road. His car collection must have been worth more than the street.

With regard to internet (and other) types of threatening, it's not usually the ones who threaten that you need to worry about. The real nutters just do it with little provocation or forethought. As has been said, they are usually not the muscle bound types either.

Just for clarity, anti-money laundering would kick in at two levels, potentially three.

A 'high value dealer' is responsible to report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities - primarily governed by the FSA and ultimately the SOCA.

A bank is absolutely obligated, under FSA regulation, to report any suspicious financial transactions - there is no limit although many banks use the £10,000 floor as a typical guidance. The onus is on false negative reporting, with anything of question to be reported and then investigated.

If there is a third party who is regulated under AML - e.g. a broker, solicitor, financial adviser - then they would also be required to report any suspicious activity.

The Inland Revenue are an investigating body, but not a primary reporting or governance body. Where large cash transactions have occurred then they will have an interest from a tax evasion perspective.


Suspicious may not be directly obvious, a bag full of £50 notes for example. Many drug dealers for example build up a series of smaller trades and then merge them into larger ones, such as buying some lower cost items and then reselling them to amass cash to go into a larger item, now with receipts. Or perhaps carrying out a trade to exchange a larger item for a number of smaller items. Then they sell the apparently legitimate larger item to generate a lot of legitimate cash.

They may only realise 40-50p on the £1 at the end of the day, but better than not being able to realise it at all.

Yep, When I bought mine they said the limit for cash is £9k.
