Such an over-reaction.

That would have to be deposited in some shape of form. So if AUSTRAC is looking at Afterpay that means all the above conditions were met AND that all other financial/regulatory checks FAILED.

yep that's exactly how a money launderer would do it and the watch dog wants to make sure that APT has the appropriate monitoring in place to pick it up...simples
