Assess whether a claims ring exists or is coincidental overlap (a28828)

Situation

A regional bank's card portfolio cannot treat a customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge as color commentary on check-kiting multi-bank float map. Bank BSA/AML case manager must close a claims ring exists from that extract under Fraud Detection / Mortgage Fraud.

Decision

Bank BSA/AML case manager in a regional bank's card portfolio must choose A claims ring exists / Is coincidental overlap using check-kiting multi-bank float map after a customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge.

Hypotheses to test

• A customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge is noise around an already-controlled Mortgage Fraud process in a regional bank's card portfolio, given check-kiting multi-bank float map.
• A customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge is the event in check-kiting multi-bank float map that forces A claims ring exists for bank BSA/AML case manager under Fraud Detection.
• Check-kiting multi-bank float map shows a one-file miss after a customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge, not a Mortgage Fraud program failure.
• Check-kiting multi-bank float map cannot decide a claims ring exists yet after a customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge; hold is the only Fraud Detection close a regional bank's card portfolio can defend.

Analysis required

• Map typology and hold authority bank BSA/AML case manager actually has in a regional bank's card portfolio.
• Trace funds, counterparties, and reversals in check-kiting multi-bank float map through the window opened by a customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge.
• Quantify loss if the hold is released before check-kiting multi-bank float map is complete.
• For this Fraud Detection Mortgage Fraud file, read check-kiting multi-bank float map against a customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge and write the one fact that would move a claims ring exists for bank BSA/AML case manager.

Recommendation

Choose A claims ring exists / Is coincidental overlap on this Fraud Detection / Mortgage Fraud packet (check-kiting multi-bank float map after a customer calling to reverse a 'authorized' card charge). The follow-on Mortgage Fraud action is what bank BSA/AML case manager does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
