The husband of a long time customer of the bank, is using her account to deposit large dollars in postal money orders, cash, his social security check and wires for services he provides. The money is then Paypal'd out. We have no idea of the source of these funds. Her paycheck is an ACH not in questions. We have been filing SAR's for a year. Should we leave the account open?
