A client is a wholesale auto business that operates as a used car lot. The client regularly ships vehicles
internationally. In a four-month period, the client received wires totaling $ 1,250,000 from a dealer in Benin in
West AfricA. All wires originated from Benin and were in increments of $50,000.
Account debits made to the account were payable to various transport companies. All incoming checks
reference various vehicles purchased. Dock shipping receipts produced by the client to support account
activity identify the vehicles but cannot easily be tied to the wires receives.
What is the suspicious behavior?
