Making a Cash Withdrawal in Maine

Going to need some money as I make the trip around the state:

"Bookkeeper ordered to repay $20,000

A former bookkeeper for a nonprofit school food service has been ordered to repay $20,000 after pleading guilty to theft from the organization. The Sun Journal of Lewiston said 57-year-old Jane Dutton of Fryeburg will not serve any jail time. But she was ordered Friday to pay back $20,000 to the volunteer-run Maine School Food Services Association. Dutton entered the guilty plea Friday in Oxford County Superior Court (AP)."

Is there no one in authority that can be trusted?


"Cash smuggling on the rise, officials say

Federal officials say the recent discovery of $1.5 million in cash in the back of a tractor-trailer on the Maine Turnpike is more evidence that bulk cash smuggling is on the rise.

A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told Foster’s Daily Democrat in Dover, N.H., that drug dealers, human traffickers, and other criminals are trying to move proceeds in a manner that avoids getting financial institutions involved. Maine State Police on Sept. 3 seized more than $1.5 million in US currency found in buckets in a Texas-registered tractor-trailer that was pulled over for a routine inspection (AP)."

Took the roundabout route did he?
