Default Funny 1997 Off Shore Story - Times Have Changed

I opened an account with Players Only in 1997. I deposited $250 and won $6500. I cahed all of it out. They sent me a fedex and left it on my porch all day. I got home opened the fedex and it was $6500 in CASH stapled in a USA Today. It came from NYC. So lucky that it was not stolen!

Has anyone else had cash sent like that?

Recently a friend of mine in England got paid like that for an even much bigger amount. Personally I try to avoid cash as much as possible, since banks want to know its origin, when you deposit it. On top of that many banks world wide refuse to accept US$! In fact even US$ bank wires are headaches.
