BREAKING NEWS – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – A “local” man lost $50,000 in unreported currency after it was seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at Philadelphia International Airport for violating currency reporting regulations, according to the federal agency. He declared both written and verbally that he possessed no currency. As CBP officers were inspecting his baggage, the man reportedly said he had a “couple hundred dollars.” A CBP officer then reportedly found a stack of currency concealed inside a toiletry bag, which prompted the man to declare $50,000. During an interrogation the man did not state what specific organization the money was destined to be delivered, only that it did a lot of charity work in Columbia.
