*NOTE -- For further your familiarity with the coding process, on checks, these
numbers appear at the bottom of the check according to the MICR Check
Coding System. The check number, the account number, and the ABA
Transit Number will all be encoded in magnetic ink. The ABA Number
will be enclosed in symbols like: |: ABANUMBER |: The grouping of
the ABA and Federal Reserve Codes will also usually appear at the
upper right-hand corner of the check.
Keep in mind that there are a great many checks involved in any
banking procedure, and almost any transaction evoked improperly will
draw attention. Furthermore, the documents generated in a legitimate
wire-transfer situation are quite extensive. Should a transaction be
noticed, and these documents are not available for scrutiny, again
attention will be drawn to the situation.

Bank transactions must be swift and precise. Amounts should be kept under the
$10,000 range in order not to immediately arouse suspicion. Attacks must
executed correctly the first time, as there will be no possibilities for a
second chance. Monies must be gathered rapidly and dispersed into various
outlets to avoid additional attention. Transfers to banking systems whose
countries keep strict right to privacy laws, such as Panama, Switzerland,
et.al. are not recommended as the transactions are much more involved and there
exists a greater potential for error in international wire-transfers.
The preferred method of transfer of funds would involve one or more false
identities, complete with state approved identification or passport and social
security cards. Bank Security Film is kept on file, so it would be preferred
that some semblance of disguise be implemented, ranging from hair bleaching,
sun-tanning, makeup, false accents, facial hair, etc. Various accounts in the
assumed name would be opened in several cities with the minimum initial
balance. Within approximately two weeks, funds of no more than $7500 would be
diverted to each account. The funds would then be withdrawn in cash with no
more than $5000 from each account, the balance being left in the account. Once
the funds have been made cash, they would then be distributed to foreign banks,
or invested in foreign markets to avoid detection by the Internal Revenue
Service.
Conviction for Illegal Transference of Funds is not recommended.
