You know, I bet the exam writers are enjoying watching us all debate this question. They're probably sitting back and laughing, thinking 'gotcha!' But in all seriousness, I agree that A is the incorrect statement about MSBs.

The way I see it, the exam is trying to assess our knowledge of the compliance requirements for different financial entities. MSBs definitely face tighter scrutiny than traditional banks when it comes to anti-money laundering measures. Option A has got to be the wrong answer here.

Yep, MSBs like check cashing companies and currency exchanges are classified as such and are subject to regulations like the Bank Secrecy Act. Options C and D are correct, so I think B is the incorrect statement.

Haha, I bet the exam writers are trying to trick us with this one. They probably want us to think that MSBs are less regulated, but that's not the case. Option B is the incorrect statement in my opinion.

I agree with Antonio. MSBs are often used for money laundering activities, so they are generally subject to more strict regulations and oversight. Option A is definitely the incorrect statement here.

I think this question is trying to test our understanding of the regulatory environment surrounding money services businesses. From what I know, option A seems incorrect - MSBs tend to have a higher money laundering risk compared to traditional financial institutions.
