ambergris - doesn't that sound so much nicer than vomit?
Weirdly enough this picture doesn't even mention ambergris
Seems that it comes from the sperm whale.
Like we don't have enough things to worry about, now we can add falling drones to the list. This is scary

After the article, the first reader comment is this hilarious one:
I thought this was going to be a story about Lindsey having to listen to Tiger go on and on about his short game.

I've read a few articles about this sordid Dennis Hastert story and I'm curious as to what it was that got Dennis Hastert in trouble. I know what he allegedly did as a wrestling coach but that's not what he got in trouble for. His crime seems to be structuring bank transactions so that he would not have to report them. I've not heard an explanation as to what that actually means. Were these cash transactions greater than $10,000 or was he writing checks? He paid the victim 1.7 million dollars in hush money over a few years. Now I see the victim is suing him for the other 1.8 million he says that Hasert owes him.

Now this makes me wonder if suing Dennis Hastert is the wisest move at this point for the victim. I'm sure this high profile lawsuit will make the IRS wonder if the victim reported the 1.7 million he already received from Hastert. (I'm kind of thinking no)
Anyway, can anyone tell me what Hastert actually did that brought this house of cards down.

I think the person suing him is doing so for sexual molesting them.
Yes, that's what the lawsuit is but that's not what got Hastert in trouble. I was wondering if anyone knows what it was that Hastert did that triggered this investigation in the first place. The victim(s) never came forward until after this investigation started.
Or maybe I should say, what does structuring bank transactions mean, exactly?

Found this more recent article which says the withdrawals were picked up by a bank examiner in a routine exam unrelated to Hastert.

I'm not exactly sure what the law is on the $10,000 cash transaction. I only thought it applied if you were making $10,000 deposits. I thought you could take your own money out how ever you want. But maybe not.
Maybe the victim needs the 1.8 million now to pay his taxes and penalties on the previous 1.7 million.
I always wonder about these hush money cases and the tax fallout from them. When you admit you were taking hush money, I'm sure that raises some red flags at the IRS.
No, it's the withdrawals as well that flag accounts. Anything over $10,000 will be questioned.
