Multiple bank accounts

[santosg]

If someone opens up a bunch of different bank accounts at different banks in the u.s. for a smurf without the smurf knowing about it, then how could the smurf receive funds from brazil, singapore, indonesia, ect.... without raising red flags sooner or later?

I have no clue what you're asking, could you please write it in a more understandable way so I or others can try to help?

If someone who lives in the u.s. is receiving money from abroad but has many different bank accounts, will the u.s. government sooner or later figure out whats going on?

If it's low amounts probably they won't care. If it's big amounts, they'll find out

But what if its small amounts over a long period of time?

You'll most likely get caught eventually

Then why would someone say about opening multiple accounts for a smurf without the smurf knowing about it?

Are you writing a book or doing some sort of school work? Your questions are vague and hard to answer in any meaningful way.

Yes, there’s a risk you’ll get caught. Banks can submit reports for any activity that is suspicious, regardless of amount. So even if you don’t trigger any predefined rules, you can still get caught.

Also note that structuring is a crime in and of itself, even if the money comes from legitimate sources.

You won't get away with that unless you have a very good plan and some really good financial connections somewhere.

Smurfing is a money laundering technique used by criminal groups. To bring back the money from USA they use immigrants that will receive a small amount of money + a fee, send the small amount (and go under the radar). You repeat this with 2 000 colombian immigrants in New York and you get how the Cali Cartel was bringing back large sum of money back to Colombia without ringing any alarm.

Well thats weird because i read a long time ago that if many different bank accounts were opened on behalf a smurf without the smurf ever knowing about it someone was trying to accomplish something.... they wouldnt bother going into further detail...

They will use the identity of the person to open the account, and then go to the bank put the cash while using the identity of the victim. But this is only done by small organisation. Huge criminal organisations that have influence over the community of immigrants prefer to use real person (because they won't go to the police reporting someone opened an account under their name)
It's super rare because only dumb criminals do this.

No problem. I was just explaining what he was meaning since people didn't understand his sentences. But you are right about the fact he is creating trouble to the forum with his questions
