Once the funds have been distributed, they'd be notified and then make the transfer to the second account set up at another bank. From there...poof... This is probably why a second bank account was opened up in my name. This bank's KYC controls were so lax that they didn't even bother to do a credit inquiry on me, which would have resulted in a notice to me from a credit monitoring service that I use.
