Criminal record

In the Afrikaans press today:

The story is told of a very rich Indian millionaire who went to Australia to watch his 'boys' play cricket. The Aussie at passport control sat fingering through his passport for ages, looking as unfriendly as he could manage. At last he growled: "Have you got a criminal record?"

The Indian businessman smiled sweetly and said, "I am terribly sorry, Sir, unfortunately, I don't have one. Nobody told me that it was still a requirement to get into your good country."

Many years ago someone was caught with a bag of money (millions of USD.)
at the airport.

He was freed from prosecution with a simple excuse that he was not aware that it was wrong to take out money from Australia as he does not understand English.

Yesterday he was announced to be a Minister in Malaysia.

Was he entering the United States?

Purchase anything that cost $10,000 or greater in the United States, one must prove to the federal government, where he she they got the money from or the federal government might assume it's laundried money. Not totally sure how that works...
