Cash Guy Is Not Chatty

[Blind Gossip] This Hollywood hotshot is doing something interesting with his finances. Since mid-October, he has suddenly started going to the bank. In person. A lot.

In the past couple of months, he’s suddenly been taking out large amounts of cash every few days. Sometimes $7000, sometimes $8000, sometimes $9000. Always under $10,000. He’s not friendly or chatty. Just keeps his head down, shows his I.D., gets his cash, and leaves.

Now, we will point out that what he is doing is not illegal. It’s his money. He’s earned it over many years and many films. However, it is odd that he has suddenly started doing this in person and so regularly. As far as we know, he doesn’t have a drug or gambling problem.

Wonder what he is doing with all that cash?

  2. From an article published on Dec 1: “Franco is smart, funny and enthusiastic. And extremely chatty. ”

    It’s Franco. He’s paying them off and doesn’t want a paper trail.

  4. Keanu Reeves.

    Just a wild guess, bc of the hotshot mention as in Speed…

    I think he can see a financial crisis coming. Getting out bf it’s too late.

  5. Will Smith?

    Since chatty is mentioned twice it makes me think of someone who is extroverted/talks a lot.
    Plus Hot Shot = Dead Shot?

  7. Jim Carrey

    He’s hiding it. He’s being sued by his girlfriend’s family after she committed suicide and he doesn’t want to lose a dime more than he has to.

  8. John Travolta

    Since mid-October indicates that it’s related to the s*x scandals, so I’m guessing he’s paying some men off so he can get a distributor for his film, Giotti.

    • To clarify, I think he’s paying off some of the men whom he assaulted, so that he can find a distributor for his film.

  10. Hi, I’m new! Not a native speaker of English, so I apologize for any errors.

    No idea who it is, but it says, ‘As far as we know, he doesn’t have a drug or gambling problem’. That rules out Affleck, Maguire, Depp…

    It further says, ‘He’s earned it over many years and many films.’ So probably someone older.

    Is ‘hotshot’ a clue? A quote from a movie, like DiCaprio being called ‘hotshot’ in This boys’ life? (Not) ‘chatty’ could be a clue, too. Someone whose public persona is…

  11. Charlie Sheen. He was the star of Hotshots back in the 90’s. Either needs it for hookers or meds.

  13. Here’s fun conspiracy theory for you: Tom Cruise is withdrawing the cash because Scientology peeps are next on the hit-list of #MeToo’s. David Miscavige is known to be a serial abuser, and I wouldn’t be surprised if little Tommy was taking a page out of his book!

    • Or DM is making Tiny Tommy use his own money to do the work for him. Or could be advanced word of an IRS or FBI raid on Scientology so he’s amassing his members money.

  14. Woody Allen? or Owen Wilson. Both have movies with “Wonder” in the title right now.

    Lord knows they both have plenty of skeletons to pay off.

  15. Hmmmmm, I was hoping to see some consistency in the answers. Nick Nolte is VERY random lol!

    My first guess was Charlie Sheen for Hot Shots 1 & 2. I’ve seen Young Guns on TV a lot recently so he may be getting an influx of residuals he doesn’t want his exes or victims knowing about since he’s claiming he’s so broke…..

    I’m also guessing the Leo DiCrapio with the hotshots clue and he was in Basketball Diaries. Maybe he has to pay off someone who saw him in the act with one of his…

    • I agree with it being Charlie Sheen. Hollywood “hotshot” was the clue for me. And the mention that he’s not using the money for drugs or gambling (which Sheen is known to partake in), why was it necessary to mention?

      I think Sheen has A LOT of dirty laundry that’s going to come out, so my guess would be hush money or plans to leave the country.

  18. Maybe he’s buying gold or silver bullion. Keep it small enough for the IRS not to notice.

    Either that, or hookers.

    • I was waiting for someone to say this… bullion or bitshares. Let him do what he wants with his money

  20. I don’t know who it is. Maybe he’s afraid of economic collapse. More like, he’s moving his money to another country, like Dubai or Costa Rica, where they don’t have reporting laws and you can avoid being taxed. George Clooney and many others celebs travel to Dubai.

  29. Leonardo DiCaprio

    He’s going to fund lawsuits and cut all the perverts knees out from under them.

  32. Actor : James Franco
    Taking money out to give cash bribes to women he has harassed or abused– to stay quiet. Or draining his bank accounts so anyone suing him can’t file to put a lien on his $.

  35. Maybe he is older and is handing out cash to the homeless or just having fun going into stores and buying everything in cash. No idea who it is but as you say-he earned it, he’ll do what he wants with it.

  36. Don’t know who it is but a series of withdraws, under the $10,000 cap will still raise red flags and the bank is obligated to file a report with the IRS. His wife may not know but the Government will.

  38. Either Harvey taking it out of bank before divorce means he has to share, or any of the other creepy pervs in the firing line looking to cash out and leave the country for one with no extradition treaty…

  41. No guess on who it is but that sounds shady. He is likely doing less than 10k because the bank is required to to report cash withdraws over 10k to the IRS. The bank may catch on to this though as I believe they watch out for people making multiple smaller withdrawals.

    Maybe this person is being blackmailed, or scammed. Or trying to hide money somehow if they are getting ready to have legal issues.

  42. Stumped at who the guy could be … but he probably needs the cash to pay off some of the #MeToos in his life …

  43. Actor: No idea
    Optional: He may be moving it to another account but he doesn’t want a paper trail between accounts. Could be he’s preparing for an impeding divorce (blindsiding his wife, no doubt) or he’s preparing to run in case some accusations start about him.

  44. IDK who but withdrawing more than $10k in cash in 30 days will result in a suspicious activity report being filed by the bank and whoever it is may get a visit from the Feds to ask them why they are doing this. Remember that this is how the FBI determined that congressman Dennis Hastert was paying off someone for sexual abuse. Its not a crime to withdraw less than $10k, but it is a crime to structure withdrawals to keep the amount less than $10k to avoid SAR reporting.

    • I completely agree with you that this person is leaving the country. At this point, the list of people who this could be is a mile long.
      Ive been thinking about who should be nervous that the Santa Barbara police found the tape of Corey Feldman naming hid his abusers. I immediately thought of Charlie Sheen. He has already been named as Corey Haims rapist by one of his friends who is not Feldman. In print I believe. No lawsuit and Chucks lawyer is Marty Singer who loves to sue and threaten.

  47. ‘Hotshot’ makes me think of Tom Cruise in Top Gun. He’d be rich enough to be able to withdraw that much cash all the time. Maybe he is gambling? Or paying off people? Idk …

    • After reading the similar post – maybe it is Tom Cruise and he’s using the cash for lap dances. From guys.

    • Cruise has been described as chatty in the past, too, if memory serves…

      Seems like he would really cause a stir, though, going into a bank. Unless he’s right in the middle of Hollywood, (where the Co$ happens to be located), and then he’s “just another creepy movie star…”

    • But Hot shots & Hot Shots Part Deux starred Charlie Sheen.

      He’s a creep but I still laugh thinking about the “I have my father’s eyes” part.

  49. Don’t know who this culprit may be but I believe if he withdraws or deposits cash over a certain amount it sets off a red flag to Feds.

    • That would be 10K, which this guy is being careful to keep the withdrawals under that amount.

    • Does he not know that repeated large cash transactions that are under the mandating reporting amount are also noted by the bank and the feds? It’s a crime called “structuring.”

  50. Sounds like he’s either paying people off to prevent something coming out, or he’s moving cash in preparation for a break up

    • Bryan Singer. He just was fired off a film and has been rumored to be …… well lets just say he has lots in common with Kevin Spacey
