There are arguments for and against.
For large banks, you may get "lost in the crowd". Banks like JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, etc. have hundreds of billions on deposit. However, once you do get caught there isn't much you can do. Risk group will cut you and there is nothing anybody, even branch managers, can do.
For small banks, there is more leeway once you get caught. Branch managers more often know their research/risk analysts and may be able to sway something in your favor. In addition, their controls tend to not be as developed and systems can be archaic - you might get away with it that way and go unnoticed.
