Right, and why wouldn't financial intel agencies notice that?
Every time you move more than $10,000 into or out of a bank account in a 24 hour period (presuming Canada or the US) your bank will report it to your country's financial intel agency.
They notice when a cafe is pulling in far more money than it ought to. Then they hand what they have over to the IRS/CRA, FBI/RCMP, and let them investigate further.
If you're moving any significant sum of money, you're on their radar. And they aren't stupid.
