Re: does depositing $9900 to my check account seem fishy to the bank+gov?

These deposits won't be suspicious if you routinely deposit amounts like this in there, but if you have been deposting pay cheque or small netteller cheques then you could be red flagged. I remember a guy who I knew who played roulette at the local casino in my city telling me because he was young and black and won large a few times that whenever he went to his bank with these winnings he had to explain to the teller why he had a few 1000 dollar bills(they were discontinued 2 years back because of potential money laundering).

Lefty, I think your friend was just bullsh*ting you.
The government stopped printing $1,000 bills back in the Great Depression. Buying one as a collector's item will cost $1,200 at minimum. No way a 'local casino' paid him in G notes.
