He was keeping it in what he felt was a secure place until he could move it. The payment was $100,000. So 10 was already moved or spent. Anything over 10K gets reported to the IRS automatically.

The bank was closed, he wasn't committing any crime to handle his own money the way he wants to. Jefferson hasn't been indicted and convicted for anything like Scooter Libby. He isn't a 4 time Federal felon.

When you do things illegally sometimes people do goofy things that make no sense. He probably though nobody would look in the tupperwear.
