一家銀行為一位知名律師開設了一個新帳戶來管理客戶資金。在前六個月,銀行人員觀察到該帳戶透過電匯收到多筆存款。他們還觀察到,律師提取現金,向不同的人付款,並將資金轉入律師事務所的線上帳戶。
在這種情況下,什麼被視為潛在洗錢的危險信號?
Correct Answer: B
According to the ACAMS CAMS Study Guide, one of the methods that attorneys may use to facilitate money laundering is to make payments to third parties on behalf of their clients, using funds from their client accounts. This may obscure the source and destination of the funds, and create a false appearance of legitimate transactions. Therefore, making payment to various people is a red flag for potential money laundering in this situation.
