http://fincen.gov/news_room/nr/html/20141002.htmlMost of the businesses in the Los Angeles Fashion District should be scrambling to get registered as e-filers of FinCEN Form 8300 between now and next Thursday. They've just be hit with a 180-day Geographic Targeting Order that goes into effect on October 9. And the reporting threshold is dropped to $3,000.
I wonder how many of the targeted businesses have EVER SEEN a form 8300, let alone filled one out!
Before you panic, financial institutions aren't subject to the order. But LA banks are likely to have customers who are included on the list.
