Option D is just plain silly. Of course institutions can share information, they just need to follow the proper protocols. Common sense, really.

I'm not sure why anyone would think financial institutions can't share customer information at all. That would defeat the entire purpose of AML efforts.

I agree with Florinda. Protecting customer information is crucial, but sharing within the group is allowed as long as proper safeguards are in place.
