You do understand the underlying principle as to why cross country capital transfer investigations are done... right? As a hint, look up cocaine cowboys and miami banks (particularly suntrust).
While I get it's beneficial for average citizens looking to save a bit on tax/duty fees... it's a lot like wearing a condom when both of you dont care to know each other's name. You have that practice for a reason.
