I think may warrant a Suspicious Transaction Report by BEC or BEC's Bankers under the Bahamian Money Laundering Laws and Guidelines.

Please remember however that under our legal system you are innocent until proven otherwise.

The link to the money laundering guidelines is as follows:

On large cash transactions the guidelines state in section 6.1 of a 90 guideline:

"There are three stages of laundering, which broadly speaking, occur in
sequence but often overlap.

6.1 I. .....In the case of many serious ....., the proceeds take the form of cash, which the ......wishes to place in the financial system. Placement may be achieved by a wide variety of means according to the opportunity afforded to and the ingenuity of the........., his advisers and network. Typically, it may include: -

• placing of cash on deposit at a bank (often intermingled with a
legitimate credit to obscure the audit trail), thus converting cash into a
readily recoverable debt; or

• physically moving cash between jurisdictions; or

• making loans in cash to businesses which seem to be legitimate or are
connected with legitimate businesses, thus also converting cash into
debt; or

• purchasing high-value goods for personal use or expensive presents to
reward existing or potential colleagues; or

• purchasing the services of high-value individuals; or

• purchasing negotiable assets in one-off transactions; or

• placing cash in the client account of a professional intermediary."

We have the laws, regulations, regulators and enforcement officers in place to review and ensure that this transaction was legitimate.
