You developed wealth with individuals with high net worth in sector and income as part of your job. The purpose of networking was to persuade them to have their income and assets managed by your bank. Over the years, you had brought in a lot of clients for the bank, and you managed assets and accounts for 20 prominent clients. You managed a client with a very sizable account, and he frequently received remittances from multiple locations transactions had happened in the account. And the money was further moved around within the country. When you tracked the money movement, you noticed that funds were transferred to within the country. When you tracked the money movement, you noticed that funds were transferred to areas where the client had no business dealings. Government regulations required the bank to report a suspicious transaction. When the transaction continued unabated, you got suspicious. On scrutiny, you discovered that the client had dealings with organisations banned by the government for funding anti-national activities. You shared the same information with your Head and requested him to report to the authorities. He said after a few weeks you know the client was good business, but had no up to no good. Further, the Head told you the client was good business, but had no up to no good. Further, the Head told you the client was good business, and the bank was not up to no good. The bank was thus in violation of the law. Further, the Head told you the client was good business, but had no up to no good. A few weeks you raised the matter again, and this time, he curtly told you that the regulations stipulate that account information must be furnished, which the bank did tell you that the regulations stipulate that account information must be furnished, which the bank did not up to no good. The bank was thus in violation of the law. Further, the Head told you good reasons for the bank.
