$5000 counterfeit check - File a SAR?

Answered by: 

Question: 
Should a SAR be filed for a $5000 counterfeit check? The suspect is not known and we were thinking it should be considered reportable under item d in the SAR instructions rather than not reportable as it falls into item c, is this correct?
Answer: 

If there is no suspect, the SAR threshhold for non-money laundering criminal activity is $25,000.
