I vaguely recall that in cases like this, the source of the deposit is often prioritized to prevent money laundering.

The key here is to act quickly but also thoroughly. I think verifying the identities of the partners is the best first step, as that will help determine if the power of attorney is valid.

I've got a good handle on the TOGAF ADM and the different version numbers. Based on my understanding, the version number that indicates a high-level outline of the architecture is in place is 0.5. I'm feeling pretty sure about that.

I'm confident the answer is statistical multiplexing. The question specifically mentions dividing the channel into an arbitrary number of variable bit-rate streams, which is the defining characteristic of statistical multiplexing.
