Official Reveals Budget for U.S. Intelligence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 - In an apparent slip, a top American intelligence
official has revealed at a public conference what has long been secret: the
amount of money the United States spends on its spy agencies.
At an intelligence conference in San Antonio last week, Mary Margaret Graham

之所以“人肉背现金”，英达辩解称那是因为“我国那时还没有设立外汇业务或者是外国银行在中国设立办事处，没有这个业务，我只能拿现金。”“而且每一笔钱都在海关申报过，不存在偷税漏税情况。”
事实真的如此么？当时国家没有设立外汇业务？大部分都给儿子交了学费？冰球的学费到底有多贵？为何英达拆分存入6个银行账号、每次存款均低于1万美元的操作方式会被美国法律认定为违法？记者对此展开调查。
英达称当时中国没有外汇业务？
NO! 知情人士：“他这是乱说！”
根据美国康涅狄格州的检方指控资料显示，2011年4月至2012年3月，被告英达先后将46.4万美元存入他和妻子在四家银行开的6个联名账户，为避免填写现金交易报告，他每次存款额度低于1万美元，前后分50次存入。
