No reason why it should. The laundering occurs at the stage where
cash gets into the banking system. The suspicion comes when someone
is trying to move or spend a large amount of cash (as in physical
currency). Legitimate money moves by banks and wire transfers which
can be audited. It is not that big a big deal.


Typical small-town
bank will likely be clueless on how to handle this.


Any bank should "know how" to receive a wire transfer!!!!!
