Next to me was a Chinese gentleman pulling large stacks of $100 bills from a backpack full of cash. I wonder what he wrote on the form.

Is this for any amount?

Unless they adapt the machines for cash deposit with source of funds input on the screen, or place a daily or monthly limit on cash deposits without declaring the source of funds, those machines could be redundant forever. And that means huge queues at the cashiers forever too.
