🔍 Catching Sneaky Money Moves: How Banks Play Detective! 🕵️♂️💸 

Imagine your piggy bank could tell when someone’s stealing cookies. That’s kinda what “monitoring” does for banks! Banks use smart tools to watch how people move money—like a detective spotting sneaky behavior. If your account suddenly goes from buying candy 🍭 to moving stacks of cash 💰, alarms go off! 

Here’s how bad guys try to trick the system: 
1️⃣ The “Slice & Hide” Trick: Criminals split stolen money into tiny amounts (like $999 over and over) to avoid triggering alerts. It’s like hiding candy in 100 pockets instead of one big bag! 
2️⃣ Fake Friends: They create fake accounts pretending to be “regular customers” (like a fake pet store 🐾) to wash dirty money through fake sales. 
3️⃣ Midnight Shopping Spree: A customer who usually spends $50/week suddenly buys $50,000 in gift cards at 2 AM? 🕒 Banks flag this as “Why?!” 

The good news? Tech like #InclusiveRegtech (tools that help every business fight crime) and #OpenSourceAML (free, shared detective tools) are making it easier to spot these tricks. Think of it like a neighborhood watch—but for money!
