Default Re: Why aren\'t more people using Moneygram for Stars?

True. Moneygram's web site says they only have 100,000 locations globally. A spot check of San Francisco shows 54 locations, Kansas City shows 51. Why I bet some small cities only have 1 or 2 locations within 10 miles of someone.

Since the simple act of depositing a check in a bank account, or realizing that you have to pay taxes on money you earn gambling (they don't withhold taxes on your cash out like a paycheck), seems to be life changing experiences for people, I would not rule out laziness compounded with stupidness.

For some reason having shady 3rd parties handle your money electronically offshore is better than with cash and checks with established businesses.
