RE: Case 09-5043, the Interpretation of Structuring Laws

Dear Justice [insert Justice’s name]:

I am watching case 09-5043, regarding Kent Hovind and the structuring laws. I understand you will be in conference this Friday, January 8, to reconsider hearing the Hovind case.

I strongly urge you to hear this case due to the ambiguity and confusion looming in the Hovind case. It seems to me that Congress had a different purpose and intent for structuring laws than what the lower courts have said. At this point, we as Americans are depending on you, the Supreme Court, to clarify once and for all what we can and cannot do with regard to our bank transactions.

Although statues are often a jumble, I have great confidence in the plain English interpretation that the Supreme Court can produce for us to understand the scope of the structuring laws. Without hearing this case, I am afraid I could be construed as “structuring” at any time. After all, it’s not unusual for someone to make transactions at their bank which are mostly, if not all, under $10,000. 

I will contact my Congressman to ask for these laws to be changed. But as legislation can be a long process, I ask you to protect me and the other American people now by hearing the Hovind case and clarifying the intent and scope of the structuring laws.


Thank you and God bless you,
