Option A is incorrect because making several deposits in one month that appear to exceed their expected monthly income might not be indicative of suspicious activity, depending on the customer’s profile and source of funds. Option B is incorrect because receiving a large, one-time wire from a law firm might not be indicative of suspicious activity, depending on the customer’s relationship with the law firm and the purpose of the wire. Option D is incorrect because discovering a large number of securities transactions that appear to be related to day trading might not be indicative of suspicious activity, depending on the customer’s investment strategy and risk tolerance.

Third-party transfers may involve unknown or unrelated parties that may have ulterior motives or hidden agendas. They may also be used to obscure the origin or destination of funds, or to circumvent sanctions or other regulatory restrictions.

Transfers from Bank B may involve jurisdictions that have weak anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) regimes, high levels of corruption, or significant criminal activity. They may also involve banks that have poor reputation, compliance, or transparency standards.
