account right no no no no okay let me tell you if people when you will go to the bank just tell them that i want to do a wire transfer okay of ten thousand dollars if any sense if they will ask you why just tell them that i am sending this money to my investor yeah it can be a very good reason or just tell them that uh that i have a leg surgery so i'm sending money to the doctor oh yeah that's true because the last time i had surgery done i wire transferred it to my doctor as well oh that's a really good idea the very good reason we got it that's a very good idea yeah yeah okay good thing
