For what it is worth, a colleague who is rather "connected" in DC told

"The amounts of money the news reports say triggered the bank to label

I don't know. Lately, I've been reading about PEPs (politically exposed
people) and SARs (suspicious activity reports). It seems since 9/11,
banks have been using software to spot suspicious activities. The irony,
is Spitzer, as AG, put pressure on the banks to have more accountability.
