I think self-reporting the activity to OFAC should also be a priority, to show proactive efforts to rectify the situation.

Should they stop and hold all wires to the bank on the SDN list immediately?

But shouldn't we investigate the customer first to understand the situation better?

You know, option B about stopping and holding all the wires seems like a no-brainer. We can't just keep letting those payments go through to a bank on the SDN list, that's a big no-no.

Nah, I don't buy it. The bank's the one that messed up, so we need to own up to it. I say we go with option D and just get it over with.

Hold up, are we even sure the customer who's sending the wires is involved? Maybe we should investigate them first, like option C says. They could be totally innocent in all this.

I don't know, man. Self-reporting could paint a big target on our backs. What if OFAC decides to make an example out of us? I'm leaning more towards reviewing the policies and procedures first, like option A suggests.

I'm thinking option D, self-reporting to OFAC, is the way to go. It shows we're being proactive and taking responsibility for the screw-up. Plus, they might go easy on us if we come clean.

Whoa, this is a tough one! The bank really messed up big time with that OFAC interdiction software glitch. We've got to act fast to mitigate the penalties, but which option is the best way to go about it?
