You can walk into any major bank in the US with tens of thousands in USD cash, deposit it via deposit ticket with no ID, and have anonymous bitcoin/ether/monero in your account within minutes.

Is this actually true? I find it very hard to believe you can do anything at a bank with tens of thousands of dollars in cash without presenting ID.
The scenario isn't a problem I've ever had, but it doesn't make any sense. Unless you say, I want to deposit this money into account 12345.
