Careful: Banks Are Watching
"They know about that morning coffee and Danish you bought with a debit card. They also know about the money you transferred from an online savings account to your local checking account. And if, by chance, you wired cash to a shell company fronting for a prostitution ring — they definitely know about that. Every day, banks and other financial institutions monitor hundreds of millions of transactions, looking for unusual patterns that could be a sign of anything from money laundering to terrorism financing to identity theft."
