An investigator receives an alert documenting a series of transactions.

An investigator receives an alert documenting a series of transactions. A limited liability corporation (LLC) wired 59.000,000 USD to an overseas account associated with a state-run oil company. A second account associated with the state-run oil company wired 600,000,000 USD to the LLC. The LLC then wired money to other accounts, a money brokerage firm, and real estate purchases.

The investigator initiated an enhanced KYC investigation on the LLC. The financial institution opened the LLC account a couple of weeks prior to the series of transactions. The names associated with the LLC had changed multiple times since the account opened. A search of those names revealed relations with multiple LLCs. Public records about the LLCs did not show any identifiable business activities.

Open-source research identified mixed reports about the brokerage firm.

The firm indicated it purchased mutual funds for its clients and dispensed returns to clients.

Media reports claimed the firm laundered money by holding money for a fee before returning it to investors.

Which information should the investigator review first when examining the wire transaction documentation?
