Some of the most common red flags are;
1. Many payments in small amounts to avoid attracting attention
2. High-value cryptocurrency transactions in only a short time period. Or staggered and regular patterns with no further transactions for a sustained period.
3. Instantly transferring virtual funds out of highly controlled areas and into low-regulated dominions
4. Immediately withdrawing virtual funds without any in-between transactions.
5. Depositing previously identified stolen funds into crypto wallets.
