    Yeah. I’m sure that’s what actual bad guys do. They label their crimes and plots clearly with bank transactions.

    What a bunch of fucking idiots.

      But imagine the outrage if a terrorist group actually marked their payments like this – maybe the day before their suicide attack – with the thought that what does it matter anyway they won’t be here to be investigated.

      And the bank didn’t investigate. The bank would be fined to hell and back and lose all trust, because they couldn’t do “the bare minimum” in finding something this obvious.

    Once I sent a payment to a friend with a note like “drugs and guns” as a joke and it was delayed for like, two days.

    Who tf is out there with zero opsec just using the banking system and straight up putting illegal stuff in the note field? So stupid.

      Mate you’d be surprised.

      I knew a guy in the Police who said that Facebook was a gift because people are dumb.

      One guy posted publicly a photo with a couple kg of weed and flashing a pistol acting like a badman. The local police account commented under the post saying they’d like a word, guy responded “what you gonna do, arrest me?”, I think you can work out what happened next.

        One thing I’ve learned from parenting a teen is that if you suspect your child is doing something really stupid, there is a very good chance that there is photo or video evidence of it.

        Lot of kids out there under age drinking and taking videos of their shenanigans. Dumbasses.
