Cool story I heard

I heard this story last month from a friend of mine, who's another professional poker player. The story happened to his friend, who also plays poker professionally. There are all sorts of entertaining stories that happen with poker players. Heres one of them(I'll do my best to get all the details right):

So Zack(not his name; we'll call him this for the story) decides to move to Los Angeles to move in with some other poker pros out there. He's an online player, but decides he wants to give the live games a try for a while. The guys he moves in with are live regulars out there. He's only 19 years old, but he has a fake ID. So, he lives out there for about a month with those guys, and does really well. I think he started out playing 5/10nl, and played all the way up to 40/80nl by the end of the month since he was doing real well.

Anyways, he gets tired of the grind, and decides he's had enough of live poker in LA, so he gets set to head back home. He packs up his belongings, which now includes about $130,000 in cash. He thinks nothing of it, throws it in his backpack and heads on the plane. Or at least, that's what he intended on doing. During the screening at the airport security stopped him for having all that cash on him, and authorities ended up seizing all of his money!

They didn't believe him when he told them he was a professional poker player and he made the money at the casinos. It took him a few months to recover the money, with the help of his lawyer.
