These transactions, the Treasury said, could indicate that members of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's government are attempting to shelter assets offshore.

"The advisory reminds U.S. financial institutions of their obligations to monitor closely any financial activity that could potentially represent misappropriated or diverted state assets," a U.S. official. said.

The Treasury reminded American banks that they are obligated under the Patriot Act and other U.S. laws to guard against money laundering and other financial crimes.

HOW LONG UNTIL THEY REALIZE, THIS GENII AIN'T EVER GOING BACK INTO THE BOTTLE.
