    It is illegal to deliberately pattern your deposits in order to avoid law.

I can see that, but the pattern could be a result of legal practices. Shooting first and asking questions later harms good people. The IRS audits very well. If they see a pattern that suggests illegal behavior, they should audit the entity, not seize their funds.

I am sure other options could be devised as well.
