This is pretty standard banking behaviour if they suspected you of money laundering, and closed your account on that basis.
To be clear, I have no idea if you were money laundering, and have no idea if your account usage had indications of money laundering (valid or otherwise). I can just tell you from personal experience that’s what a banks response to suspected money laundering is.
- tonyhb 6y agoMaybe this would be the case if they froze the account instead of blocking the user and sending money to random people. You wouldn't send money back to criminals. This isn't normal behaviour.
- avianlyric 6y agoIf a bank thinks money laundering has occurred, and the police don't request to seize the funds, then normal behaviour is to return the money to source, or even to the customer they suspect of money laundering. Banks don't have any actual power to seize funds, only the police do that, and it occurs extremely rarely. (I've seen thousands of reports sent to police every month for years, and I've only seen police seize funds a handful of times)
