In the US, this could be considered "structuring" to avoid reporting requirements which is a federal crime with a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

If the reason to pull out 1K/day is a 1K/day limit imposed by the bank, then the reason is obviously not to avoid reporting requirements and therefore it cannot be considered structuring.
And yet people are prosecuted.
