I keep mixing up structuring and microstructuring. I think the key here is the small deposits, which might lean towards microstructuring, but I'm not completely confident.

I feel like this question is similar to one we did on trade-based money laundering. But in this case, the focus is on the withdrawal pattern, so maybe it's microstructuring?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about structuring being when you break up large amounts into smaller ones. Could this be that?

I think this might be related to microstructuring since the deposits are below the reporting limit. It sounds familiar from our last practice session.
