Which customer type represents the highest risk of money laundering to a financial institution?

I feel like payment service providers could be risky too, especially with all the online transactions. I need to double-check my notes on that.

I think it might be the construction company, but I’m not entirely sure. I remember something about high cash transactions being a red flag.
