A rapper exiting an Atlanta bank, found himself in handcuffs and on the ground with guns pointed at his head after police stopped him for making a substantial withdrawal from his account, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting.
According to Sam Benson — who goes by the stage name of “Blac Youngsta” — he had just exited a Wells Fargo branch in the upscale community of Buckhead after withdrawing $200,000 in order to buy a new car.
“I come out the bank, I see the police, I’m walking to my car, I see one of them point to my bag like ‘him,’” explained the rapper. “They come ? -rushing me at the car, put me on the ground, putting guns to my head.”
“I’m like ‘What I’d do,’” Benson continued. “A lady was like I’m not supposed to have $200,000 on me. I’m like, ‘I’m a millionaire. How can I not have $200,000 on me?’”
Benson was signed last year to the Collective Music Group label founded by rapper Yo Gotti.
A spokesperson for the Atlanta police department explained that they were responding to a call “at the request of the bank manager” before finding “that no crime had been committed.”
According to the rapper, he intended on using the money to buy a new Mercedes, stating, “Where I come from,we don’t believe in taking checks to the car lot. We take cash money.”
On Facebook, Benson posted a picture of himself in handcuffs and on the ground — surrounded by laughing police officers. See below:

You can't buy a car with cash you have to write a check.
-
If he woulda worn a button up...none of this would have happened
-
I'm actually mad for dude
He said when they couldn't arrest him for anything they took half his money to "investigate"
Smfh. I would say he should sue but we all know how that would go -
"I'm a millionaire"
-
And @BOSSExcellence was just telling us about being in another tax bracket gets you treated better regardless of color

Dude wanted to make a movie with the cash ..... I'm not even sitting on 6 figures but I got my car with just 2 phone calls while sitting in the dealership
Bank manager was hating ... how you let dude withdrawal money from his own account then call the police
Was he getting the car from a auction? ......a millionaire with no black card? -
That was kinda dumb tho....at least get a cashier's check ? .....
-
Damn shame. What's even worse is i have to say im glad he was uninjured

1) He's an idiot for having that much cash on him. I thought he got robbed when I first saw the headline.
2) "Black police showin out for the white cop." Word to Cube.

People love America because of all of it's freedoms but take money out of a bank and they arrest you for it. You're not even allowed to transit the money. They make you keep your money in the bank, but when the bank ? it down the drain like with the mortgage crisis what happens to them. Then they tacked a civil forfeiture on the man, and took his money without him committing a crime.
here's what this "law" is based on.

Also, a few years ago during the occupy movement, the banks wouldn't let people close their own accounts.
