> No- _every single SAR_ is examined by a Special Agent. I have ACAMs accreditation and go to their conferences. The Fed agents there have said this over and over. Mind you- if it’s just a $1MM wire with nothing else odd, they will roll their eyes at bit at it having been filed, run a quick check of the client, and if nothing springs up, go on to the next. …

Good to know. Thanks.

I do know that from the filing banks’ POV we see them disappear into the Federal information maw and not much spit-back ever comes out. Which would be 100% consistent with what you say; the vast majority of the ones our clients file are bank CYA rather than obvious cases of bad actors up to no good.
