But C makes sense because banks can share information with fraud victims.

Option A sounds like a big ol' loophole to me. Once a case is filed, the public gets to see everything? I don't think so, that's just asking for trouble.

I'm gonna have to go with option D on this one. From what I know, the government tends to be pretty tight-lipped when it comes to sharing nonpublic records, even with the victims of the crime. Gotta protect that classified information, you know?

That's a good point, but I guess there's a balance between protecting sensitive information and providing justice for the victims.

But what about the rights of the victims? Shouldn't they have access to all the information to seek justice?

It makes sense, they have to protect sensitive information to maintain the integrity of the case.

Option C seems like a pretty convenient way for fraud victims to get the information they need. But I wonder if that's really the case in most jurisdictions - banks are usually pretty protective of their customers' privacy.

Banks may be protective of privacy, but in cases of suspected fraud, they may have to cooperate.
