> there's a good chance their local bank branch won't be happy if he's receiving a wire transfer of $1M

Eh. If I'm Joe Average cashing out my 100 bitcoin in your situation, I call my bank manager a few days ahead, telling him to expect a wire transfer along those lines.

I think the risk on such transactions is _far and away_ "will your exchange honor the cash out?", "how long will it take?" (up to 12 weeks for some exchanges) "will there be onerous restrictions on cash out limits?" (this example would be 100 consecutive days of $10K transfers) - much more so than "Will Chase Bank NA be happy to accept a wire transfer from Scotiabank BVI?"
