Day 174: Money Service Business

#QuickBiteCompliance Day 174

💡 What’s a “Money Services Business”? Let’s Keep It Simple! 

Imagine a giant money helper that lets people send cash across the world, swap currencies, or cash checks—even if they don’t have a bank account. That’s a Money Services Business (MSB)! 🏪💸 They’re super useful, but guess what? Criminals love to sneak into these systems. 

Here’s How Bad Guys Cheat the Game: 
– The Sneaky Split Trick: They break dirty cash into small chunks (like $500 at a time) to buy prepaid cards or money orders, avoiding big red flags. 
– Ghost Money Movers: Fake names, fake IDs—criminals use MSBs to send illegal funds overseas, hiding behind “remittance” services. 
– Dirty Cash Car Wash: Drug dealers might use check-cashing shops to turn crime money into “clean” checks, then deposit them into fake businesses. 

But Here’s the Cool Part!
