[All CAMS Questions]

A customer has held an account at a bank and has lived locally for over 25 years. Historically he has come

into the bank monthly to deposit a $1,500 retirement check from the company where he worked. He is well

known at the bank and often brings the staff cookies. Over the past four months, he has come into the bank

every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday to make $3,000 cash deposits into his account. A review of his

account shows that an $8,500 check made out to cash clears his account each week. The bank has decided

to file a suspicious transaction report (STR).

What is the important fact to include in the STR?

AThe recent change in the timing of deposits and withdrawals in the account

BThe customer's work history and the amount of his monthly retirement check

CThe fact that the account holder is well known to the bank staff

DThe fact that the customer has lived in the area and has banked at this bank for 25 years

Wait, did you say the customer brings the staff cookies? That's the real issue here. Clearly, he's trying to bribe them. That's the juiciest detail to include!

Hmm, I'm not sure. The long-standing relationship with the bank and the consistent monthly retirement check seem like important context. I'd include that too.

I don't know, the customer's history with the bank and the fact that he's well-known seems pretty relevant too. Maybe they should include that as well.

But shouldn't we also mention the customer's work history and the amount of his monthly retirement check? That could provide more context for the transactions.

I agree with Glory. The sudden increase in cash deposits and the large weekly check made out to cash are definitely suspicious.

I think the important fact to include in the STR is the recent change in the timing of deposits and withdrawals.

The recent change in the timing and amount of the deposits and withdrawals is definitely the most important fact to include. That's a clear red flag for suspicious activity.
