COMPLIANCE OFFICERS, WHEN YOU HEAR THE WHISTLE, THE GAME IS AFOOT; CAN YOU RECOGNIZE INVISIBLE DANGERS IN REAL TIME?

When you walk down the street in Miami's financial district, Brickell Avenue, these days, you are apt to be distracted by the sound of whistles being blown by construction crew supervisors at a building site. The noise of the equipment drowns out mobile phones, so that managers signal their workers an old-fashioned way. Most people ignore the sound, but some of us, who came of age fighting an Asian war half a century ago, have that sound imprinted in our brains for eternity. You see, the leaders of the PAVN, the North Vietnamese Army, used whistles to signal an imminent attack to their soldiers. If you heard that in the jungle, things were about to get very, bad very quickly. How many battles did this old, but effective, weapon of war see, I wonder?

Compliance officers working Transaction Monitoring see the functional equivalent of those whistles tweeting, when they encounter a Red Flag of a specific known money laundering typology. It's a signal that some journeyman laundryman is employing a method which you should immediately recognize as suspect, hopefully before it is completed, at the expense of your bank. Learn to become so familiar with the indicia of specific money laundering techniques that you will immediately pull the information, and just maybe interdict a laundryman's work in progress.
