A customer who runs a cryptoasset automated teller machine (ATM) comes into a financial institution and deposits a larger than usual amount. When asked about the deposit, the customer answers there has been broader adoption of cryptoassets in the region where the ATM is located. Which additional information about the business would indicate high risk for money laundering? (Select Two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D

Money laundering risk increases if the business operates in or near high-risk jurisdictions (D) or regions associated with narcotics production (C), as these are common sources of illicit funds.

An increase in volume and users (A) or supporting various cryptoassets (B) alone does not necessarily increase ML risk. Recent licensing (E) may indicate regulatory compliance, potentially lowering risk.

I practiced a similar question, and I think supporting various cryptoassets could be a risk factor too. So maybe B and C?

I feel like the connection to a narcotic-producing area is significant, so C seems likely. But I’m torn about the second choice.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the volume and number of users increasing could also indicate risk. Maybe A and D?

I remember studying that high-risk jurisdictions can definitely raise red flags, so I think options C and D might be the right choices.
