I'm leaning towards D as the incorrect statement. A currency exchange is definitely classified as an MSB, so that can't be the wrong answer. I just need to double-check the other options.

Okay, I've got it. A check cashing company is classified as an MSB, so the incorrect statement must be B. MSBs are actually more strictly regulated than traditional financial institutions.

Okay, let me think this through. I know that a new transaction starts when certain SQL statements are issued, but I'm not sure of the exact situations. I'll need to review my notes on transaction management.
