Need some advice before i open this massive can of worms!

[OooIcouldCrushAGrape]

Hi. Please can i have advice, I need to know if i could be right before i take action!
Basically my sibling is an addict.
I couldnt work out why they were doing the following until i happened upon a post in the addiction forum
Basically, every few weeks or so my sibling will claim to my mum that they have lost their bank card/had it stolen and will ask to transfer money into her account so she can give them the cash. Its not large amounts, say £50-£100 a time.
Since reading the other post it seems it could be money laundering possibly being a mule? Is this possible? Even for small amounts every so often?
Thank you 😩

Ànd if its not this why else might they be doing it?

Maybe they need the money to buy the thing they are addicted to? If they have just lost the bank card they go to the bank with ID and withdraw.

No one routinely kisses their card and needs to deposit money in someone else's account, and ask for it back in cash... That is very sussed.

Kisses =loses

Loses their card? Loses it so regularly? Is your mum that naive?
Is your your sibling so consistently careless?
Can you speak to your mum about it?
Is she worried?

Money laundering defo comes to mind or something just as dodgy.
She needs to be careful she’s not being implicated in some kind of set up.

I hope it’s something quite innocent.

They either say they have lost their card, broken it or had it stolen. I knew it was odd but couldn't figure out what it could be
