Sure, and the government should be investigating people who have lots of suspicious cash. That's a lot different than penalizing people with private wealth just because they have it.

They shouldn't unless they have reason to investigate me. I live in the US. I have a reasonable expectation of privacy and it shouldn't be a crime to not proactively confirm that I'm not committing crimes.
