I won't say shady about the level of funds he needs. I would say he's shady for wanting to show my ID card. Which is more than scary from the point of view of a european.
Dude. Did I ask you to provide entire ID? I said you can cover up everything except name so I can assure you are the account holder. Didn't I show my ID to you? I did. Because you can't do shit using my ID full of mosaics. What was there to be afraid of showing a broken ID?
