What exactly do people think the police and FBI can do when someone voluntarily sends money overseas? What mechanism of investigation may they use?

I, too, am surprised the bank didn't call BS on this withdrawal. I had to talk to a bank manager to pull 12 grand cash when I bought a car. They want to know there is no foul play.

By the way, the FBI will only take the information for statistical purposes. They don't hop in a plane and travel to Nigeria.

If a relative is that out of touch with reality that they'd send that much money, then maybe its time to have a trustee manage it for them.
