B sent to others than A. No transactions were ever slowed, no withdrawls ever made for B. B sent to A and A sent to bank. But A got no note from Cardinal Fang while B got that rap on the knuckles with a ruler from the penguin.

Both transaction were under $1000. If what you say is true, maybe we have manual, rather than automated, internal controls initiating the letters. Manual controls are my absolute favorite and conform perfectly to Kennedy's Law - "The only three things certain in life are death, taxes and that internal controls degrade over time."

Indeed - weez all lab rats. But the timing of the doubletap of account "B" (reference the movie "Zombieland") would seem to be caused by a repetitive action. And the only repetitive action is A>B, B>A. I agree that surprise and fear are the most effective weapons of the cardinals, but the third weapon is fanatical devotion to the pope (which in cardinal-speak means strict adherence to the rules, terms and conditions of the institution). If what you say is true about your A>B, B>A's , you appear to have got papal dispensation for your sins. Now legions of the lab rats may be inspired to go forth and sin with impunity. Unless Cardinal Fang gets his game on we may see a remake of the movie Ben.

The internal reviews are done manually but rather randomly. The intention is that it will punish a few people and the rest are scared into not doing it. My hypothesis is that right now they're using us as beta testers so they're not taking adverse action.

I've started doing mostly A-B transfers but am now including a "C" in there. I am also trying to keep the transactions under $500 and will slowly increase them over time but never letting it get out of hand.

I successfully linked GW to BB. Made a test deposit from GW to BB. Went through successfully as a direct deposit.
Then I accidently withdrew $50 from BB to GW using the 'Add to wallet balance' tab. Money showed up in my current balance although BB balance was untouched.
I realized that BB would not allow money to be pulled out, so I decided to deposit the $50 back in to BB.
Now the GW account is empty and my BB account has $50 that never belonged to me in the first place. Wonder what google is going to do when they find out that they credited me $50 but couldn't manage to get it out of my BB account.
This was 3 days ago. I have since added more funds to GW so I don't register a negative balance. Any advise?
