Hmm, a power of attorney and a large deposit? Sounds like someone's trying to pull a fast one. Step 1: Check the signatures, step 2: Call the Avengers.

The Egmont Group? Really? That's like calling the Ghostbusters for a leaky faucet. Stick to the local financial authorities, my friend.

Reporting a suspicious transaction to the Financial Intelligence Unit is the way to go. Better safe than sorry when it comes to potential money laundering.

Ah, the old 'large deposit pending' trick. The anti-money laundering officer should definitely look into the source of that deposit before anything else.
