Bank Statement Reveals Target’s Financial Activity

===============

A recent review of the bank statement for a target individual has shed new light on their financial activities. The statement, obtained from the bank, reveals a pattern of large deposits and withdrawals that may be indicative of criminal activity.

Large Deposits and Withdrawals


According to the statement, the target made a $25,000 deposit into their account on June 16, 1975. This deposit was made with currency, as evidenced by a microfilm copy of the deposit slip obtained from the bank.

Suspicious Pattern


A comparison of the dates of large deposits and withdrawals with the dates of entries into the target’s safe deposit box reveals a suspicious pattern. The target entered their safe deposit box on the same day they made the $25,000 deposit, leading investigators to suspect that they may have removed cash from the box and deposited it into their account.

Further Investigation


Further investigation revealed that the target withdrew $25,000 from their account just two days later, on June 18, 1975. A microfilm copy of the check obtained from the bank shows that it was cashed by the target.

Importance of Bank Statement Review


This investigation highlights the importance of reviewing bank statements in conjunction with other financial transactions and activities. By analyzing these patterns, investigators can often uncover evidence of criminal activity and build stronger cases against suspects.

Code Numbers and Symbols


All banks use a series of codes or symbols to indicate when a check has been cashed. These codes are usually stamped or imprinted on the face of the check and may include information such as the date, time, and location where the check was cashed.

Common Codes and Symbols


Some common code numbers and symbols used by major banks in principal geographic areas include:

  • A series of numbers or letters indicating the bank’s name and/or branch number
  • A stamp or imprint with a specific design or logo
  • A series of dashes or dots to indicate the date, time, or location of cashing
  • A code number or symbol indicating the type of transaction (e.g. cash withdrawal, deposit, etc.)

Investigative Applications


By understanding these codes and symbols, investigators can quickly identify checks that have been cashed and use this information to build their case against suspects.
