Bank Secrecy Act
The Bank Secrecy Act, which is enforced by the Secret Service, was put in place to prevent money laundering. If you go to a Post Office to purchase money orders, any purchase totalling $3000 or more requires you to fill out a form that is electronically transmitted to the Secret Service. The same thing is supposed to happen if you go to your bank and withdraw $3000 or more in cash.
