Which makes it difficult for the honest hard working drug dealers.
Banks seem to have some leeway on some of these transactions. Probably helps if it's a smaller bank where they likely know some of the people they're doing business with.
I just opened a new account at one bank because the other bank would not let me deposit a check made out to my business (sole proprietorship) into my personal account. I asked the bank if they would simply add my business name to the existing account since I already have several automatic payments coming out of it and the card is on file with several of my suppliers. They said no, I'd have to open a new account. So I did, with another bank that allows me to deposit those checks written to my business into my personal account.
But the real straw that broke the camels back is when I went to that first bank to get a loan for a truck. I did the paper work and was told I'd have my money later that day or at the latest the next day. I called them later on that first day and they said it would be the next before they could process the transaction. Second day there was another excuse and on the 3rd day I was told I was denied the loan. In order to expedite the transaction since I wanted to buy this vehicle before it was sold to someone else, I had told the bank on the first day I went there that they could use some of the money in my savings account as collateral if that would help move matters quickly. On the 4th day, I went to another bank and had the money for the truck in my hands within 45 minutes. Go figure.
