I'm aware of structuring, but I don't think most people are. I've heard about it only once in the news where a store owner had his money seized because he was trying to avoid depositing more than $10,000 at a time, over a long time period.

IIRC, this was the case: https://www.forbes.com/sites/instituteforjustice/2015/05/05/...

Re: structuring, the most famous example I know of is Dennis Hastert[1].
