Ex-US Speaker Hastert indicted on bank-related charges
http://news.yahoo.com/ex-us-speaker-hastert-indicted-bank-related-charges-214129927--politics.html

Apparently Hastert had agreed to pay over $3 million to someone who was he subject of his misconduct. Hastert apparently withdrew of $1 million from bank accounts in amount under the $10K limit, which requires banks to notify authorities.
