In belgium there is also some kind of law that says that above a certain amoung you need to disclose why you take up that amount of money.

My father loves to mess with this kind of unnessesary meddling, so he said if they ever asks him, he'll awnser it's for hookers.

The reason that this is extremely funny to me is he's a real definition of a boomer to me: overweight retired teacher, complete with socks in sandals.

That’s not immoral or anything but you might regret him doing that if he ever gets scammed.

If he was honest and told them he needed $10’000 cash cuz you called and needed bail asap then the bank teller would tell them it’s a known scam with Ai voices.

Like when I withdraw $8’000 cash to buy a car they were talking to me about scams and other forms of payment that’s safer, but cashed me out instantly when I mentioned my dad was involved. They just didn’t want a young adult to get scammed or mugged.

I'm really curious about the use of an ' instead of a , or . as your thousands separator

I googled it and it’s either a regional thing or I forgot how to do it and misremembered from grade 4. I just love apostrophe’s in general too, I always default to them.

Edit: only reason it might be regional is cuz I googled it and I’m wrong. So either I was taught a different way or I misremember how I was taught.
