In the US context, scripted next-day ACH batches slice large sums into payroll-sized credits to mule accounts—classic structuring at scale.

  • Rapidly direct deposits to bogus employee or contractor accounts, shielding the scheme under standard payroll cycles.
  • Exploit employer-provided payee information without stringent identity checks, facilitating ghost employee payouts.
