Money laundering

[Wollstone]

We are in a long chain. It keeps stalling inexplicably. There are hints that this could be because of money laundering checks relating to one of the buyers. The whole thing does not make sense. How long do these checks last - does anyone know?

Do you mean that the buyer is transfering money from another country? In our case the delay was only one day. (but with lots pressure from our lawer to the bank. we were all keen to finish quickly so our lawyer kept phoning the bank. We were told they needed to do additional checks under the anti-terorist law).
You must ask your lawyer to ask the bayer's lawyer to keep phoning the bank to put pressure. The bank wont give any info of course.

i doubt very, very much you would be told there were money laundering checks being made. sounds like a bit of a red herring.

Well we have not as such, but could this explain the delays at each stage? How does it work?
