That's who.
Supposedly they're the ones who noticed "Client #9" making some unusual transactions. But didn't care what he was concealing from his wife.
All I know is they have a file on me. It's been several years since I learned that, and no one has come knocking on my door. It is best to keep one's nose clean. They observe financial transactions, look to see if anything nefarious is going on.
A few hundred dollar transaction from EU and the open a file on you?? wow.
Not that I have (much) to hide, but seems over the top, for a small transaction, not like it was 10's or 100's of thousands.
No not THAT transaction. I was just pulling you guys' leg that it would get a file on you.
I assume it was the $45k I wired to Japan to exercise employee stock options. Enough money to save a record, see who else I send to or who else sends to them.
I understand the FBI also has a file on me (from before January 6th.)
No visitors yet with sunglasses and dark suits, so they must still have higher priority business.
Hey, even when I have roommates, and even if I'm paid in cash, I report the income. Never do anything that would violate criminal laws.
The system is just as series of nets/filters, so if you're going to be on their radar due to unusual transactions, don't have anything bad to be found if they look.
and the eu especially..
and here i thought the us and eu were friends and allies...
Doesn't keep us from spying on each other.
no worries within the eu it is exactly the same..
gov wants to know everything here..
they are trying to put a new law in effect here that obligates a bank to monitor any transaction over a 100 euro's..
to help combat financing terrorism they say..
uhun sure, i believe them on that ..(not)
Maybe someone should start the "TOR" money transfer system.
Every transaction is divided down to pennies, moved around the world seven times, brought back together as it reaches recipient. Too difficult to follow, just looks like windblown rain.
