It also requires the filing of a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) when a transaction of $5,000 or more is suspected of involving funds from illegal activity. Structuring — deliberately breaking large transactions into smaller ones to avoid reporting thresholds — is itself a federal crime under 31 U.S.C. § 5324, regardless of whether the underlying funds are from legal or illegal sources."
