I don't think it has anything to do with banks doing their stuff in realtime. What I'm saying is that whatever happens on your account, regardless of it's fictitious money or not and regardless of how fast the transactions are made, banks would have to raise a lot of red flags with that kind of account activity. If someone has regular tranactions in the range of, let's say, 10 to 1000 dollars, and then suddenly has 50k on the account or withdraws 50k, this raises a red flag. Especially since it was in 2011, after the 2008 crisis which was one of the reasons banks were forced to spend lots of money to be compliant with regards to the local and global regulations. I almost cannot believe how such a bank would not notice this kind of suspicious activity. Again, I'm not talking about the mechanism by which you "obtained" the money, I'm talking about the general account maintenance. I'm not saying it's not true, it's just hard to accept that this was really not flagged in 2011...

When was this? I almost cannot imagine a bank of today not doing their due diligence when all of a sudden a client lives that kind of a life. Even withdrawing 50k at once would certainly trigger an internal compliance review... Or adding that much money as well... With todays regulatory requirements for banks this is definitely impossible...
