I was a former Citi Bank employee. Two months ago, I deposited three $8000 in cash into my Citi bank account within three weeks. The money was gift money from my parents in laws and was totally legitimate. I was aware at that time the bank would do some kind of paper work if the money I deposit was over 10,000. But I had no idea what structuring is and what I did is against the law. Several weeks later, I was audited internally by Citi Bank. In the audit, I told them I did not know what the structuring was and I split the money to save the paperwork. I was fired by Citi Bank two weeks after the audit. Now as I am doing more research online, I find out that structuring is a crime and if charged may result serious consequences. I am a law-abiding citizen and have no criminal record. I was wondering what I could do as I am terrified at this moment. Am I going to get charged for structuring alone even there is no money laundering nor other crime involved? Will what I said in the audit become evidence against me? Let me know if you need more information or meet in person is necessary.
