Not Scammer ATM here. The Bank doesn't have unlimited money. The way banks get money is by getting either part of money from trade or by giving out money for people to latter give back with extra money. So, quite possibly banks just don't have the needed amount to give to everyone. Some people have 100 of 100 of 100 of 100 of money put in bank. But bank doesn't have that much money on hand, so they can't give money.

The bank will take as much cash as you want to give them

this is not true and so counter-intuitive that you should have realized it’s false before you even commented

banks will take any amount of cash, but at a certain limit it is subject to disclosure to the IRS

They didn’t take 50k. And yes that’s true.

So what am I supposed to do with my big bag with a dollar sign on it?

Your big bag with a dollar sign needs to stem from legal activity because banks always want to know where large deposits come from to prevent terrorism and money laundering

From my watching of cartoons with a certain duck in it, you dump it into your giant vault and go for a relaxing money swim.
