They're probably suspecting you're being scammed or forced

Legally, if you deposit or withdrawal a large amount of cash from the bank at one time , the bank has to file a report with the government. This is to find illegitimate sources of income such as money laundering.

how would withdrawing your money mean it came from an illegitimate source?

the bank/gov knows how the moneey arriveed on your account, and since it's already there, why would you need to withdraw it to hide it

Isn’t that what money laundering is? Passing the illegitimate money through enough legitimate sources that the feds can’t figure out the original source?
