Laundering money for drug traffickers in not the kind of thing that helps build up Zion in the long run, even if it helps with the money shortfall for City Creek.

Patriot act bullsh**.

The U.S goverment spends billions to gain access to the world's markets via corrupt goverments and dictators (Mubarak), and meddles in the affairs of sovereign countries to unduly influence who is in, and stays in power.

But, if you want to move your own money someplace, big brother is snooping in on you to label you a terrorist or a money launderer.

They failed to notify of suspicious wire transfers in a timely fashion. Doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as is being presented here.

I guess the banks don't really ask questions as long as the money is flowing:
