Man, BoA sure lets a lot through. I couldn't even wire 8k without my physical presence - this was during COVID lockdown of all things as well! I know nothing of buying a house, but when I bought another, more expensive car that required a loan, the bank went through the whole rigamaroo calling a bunch of people to verify all the details (after all, I was going to buy their car with their money) - took nearly an hour to actually get the money after being approved for the loan days beforehand with all their internal busywork. All for something that, what, might have covered half of the wages for the day of the employees working there at the branch office after three years of interest? I think I'll be staying with my tiny, irrelevant local bank after all!

I worked at a financial institution, no way you could open an account, deposit some spare change, and then withdraw 900k after a few weeks especially in America. Compliance would be all over that account, which is probably why they got the money back anyhow because the crooks would have a lot of talking to do after getting that much money in their account. KYC and AML is required for both sides of the wire transfer.
