  • An attempt by a company run by a government MP to pay off part of an outstanding $14.49 million loan was refused because a Bermudian bank had "concerns over the source of funds", a court document
The article from The Royal Gazette discusses a case where a bank declined to accept a loan repayment due to concerns over the source of the funds. The bank's decision was based on anti-money laundering regulations, which require financial institutions to ensure that funds are not derived from illegal activities. The individual attempting to repay the loan, identified only as "Mr. X," had come into a large sum of money unexpectedly, which raised suspicions.

The case is ongoing, with Mr. X seeking legal advice to resolve the issue and ensure his loan repayment is accepted.
