The sticker on the front window says "Insured by CDIC - Chinese Deposit Insurance Corporation, Ltd."

Your bank's new accounting firm's offices are located in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Havana.

Your latest balance statement comes from a PO Box from some island you've never heard of in the Caribbean.

None of the tellers speak English.

There is a suspicious looking telephone company van with government license plates, windows that won't allow you to see inside, and half a dozen antennas on top parked across the street from your bank.
