Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

* A: The purchase of high-value real estate using cash in multiple transactions-especially without clear economic justification-is a classic money laundering typology. The goal is typically to integrate illicit funds into the legitimate economy and obscure their origin.
* "Large cash purchases of property without an obvious economic rationale are a significant red flag for money laundering in the real estate sector."
* This typology is highlighted in CAMS 6th Edition and the FATF's guidance on real estate ML/TF risks.
