Funding is the lifeblood of such activities, because none of this can happen without sound financing.rnAs perpetrators assail every loophole in the financial system to transfer funds illegally for abetting such acts, the banking system cannot hope to contain these nefarious activities unless it wakes up and adapts modern methods.rnMost banks have implemented software which throws up red flags whenever there are unusual or suspicious transaction patterns.
