A high-volume dealer of precious metals and stones in a high-risk jurisdiction is approached by a new customer interested in selling gold worth $200,000.

Wait, did you say 'high-volume dealer of precious metals'? I bet this guy's got a bad case of 'bling fever' and just can't stop buying shiny things. That's the real red flag here!

I don't know, maybe the friend referral is a good thing? It could just be an honest transaction. Although, the lack of business purpose is a bit suspicious. Hmm, tough call.

Come on, a new customer selling $200,000 worth of gold? That's like a giant neon sign saying 'I'm trying to launder money!'

Yikes, high-risk jurisdiction and a high-volume dealer? That's a recipe for trouble. I bet this is a money laundering scheme if I ever saw one.

Well, the obvious red flag here is the lack of background information from the customer. A big purchase with no explanation? Smells fishy to me.

But isn't it also concerning that the dealer is in a high-risk jurisdiction?

I agree with Hannah, not knowing the customer's background is risky.

I think the red flag is option D, lack of background information.
