Semi-interesting, but it felt like it was leading up to something big or interesting knowledge all the way up to the end.

Seems like it could have been way shorter, the plot is essentially "Deposited more and more money into a local Chase branch, made some guy named Alex a rising star. They called once in awhile, not sure why. Moving lots of money around isn't super straightforward."

Yes, I was expecting the outcome to be that the account gets frozen because it triggers some kind of anti money laundering filter.

Same. If anything, this post taught me that actually, depositing and moving around large sums of money is straightforward.
