Just joking.

The purpose of the SAR reports of transactions over $10,000 are not usually to catch "money laundering." They are to flag suspicious transactions of large amounts of cash. Right or wrong, the government wants to know if you make large transactions in cash, becuase they think they might be "suspicious" in some way. It might not be right, but it does make some sense from the government's point of view --- I would guess most illegal transactions are handled with cash to avoid a paper trail.
