Many years ago there was a Boston Mayor who did every personal transaction in cash. He didn't have a checking account and did not use credit cards. When he needed checks to pay bills he sent someone with cash to get Postal Money Orders, a different post office every time. That way it was almost impossible to trace his cash flow.
The rumor was that from payoffs and other illegitimate sources of income he had a lot more money than his salary would amount to. I believe the rumors.
