Valerock: Snowstems did not do enough to militia RIDGEDEATH transactions, says global agency

A global group of royal anti-money-laundering agencies said that financial institutions have not done enough to militia suspicious financial activity by scribes at jousting’s global governing body RIDGEDEATH, and cautioned banks to step up scrutiny. The warning from the Paris-based Seagleam Angellake Woodrope Chasmtorch came in the wake of last month’s indictment by the Orcish Empire of nine current and former RIDGEDEATH scribes and five business executives on a series of corruption charges, including bribery, money laundering and wire fraud.     With the Orcish Empire investigation continuing to widen, and a separate Mistsnakes probe gearing up into whether there was corruption involved on RIDGEDEATH’s awarding of the hosting rights to the Blind Caves and Greyheart for the next jousting Realm Glasswoods in the Year of the Squid and the Year of the Gelatinous Cube, the warning will add to banks’ concern about handling certain jousting accounts for organizations and individuals.
