你朋友和美國公司欠一筆勞務費，如果按法律付錢，你朋友需要在美國繳稅。現在美國公司把錢轉給你朋友的孩子，美國公司是按什麽記賬？工資？谘詢費？錢丟了？這筆“勞務費”就是涉嫌避稅。
如果所謂勞務費本來就是非法所得，把這個非法所得給另外一個人，涉嫌洗錢。
這個美國公司要麽不正規，要麽在做假帳。這個就叫公司財務不規範，在中國可能沒人管（要麽怎麽有那麽多國人“卷款潛逃”），但是在美國，要麽稅法有麻煩，要麽以後公司法有麻煩。
銀行當然不知道這麽多問題，他們隻知道一個外國人在美國銀行收到一大筆錢。如果是小銀行可能不管，大銀行（跨國有分支那種的），經常受查，所以自己也查得嚴。
你的朋友不要在國際大銀行開賬戶了，這種小動作，去本地小銀行或者信用社開一個支票賬戶好了。

The Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970 (which legislative framework is commonly referred to as the "Bank Secrecy Act" or "BSA") requires U.S. financial institutions to assist U.S. government agencies to detect and prevent money laundering. Specifically, the act requires financial institutions to keep records of cash purchases of negotiable instruments, file reports of cash transactions exceeding $10,000 (daily aggregate amount), and to report suspicious activity that might signify money laundering, tax evasion, or other criminal activities. It was passed by the Congress of the United States in 1970. The BSA is sometimes referred to as an "anti-money laundering" law ("AML") or jointly as "BSA/AML." Several AML acts, including provisions in Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, have been enacted up to the present to amend the BSA. (See 31 USC 5311-5330 and 31 CFR Chapter X [formerly 31 CFR Part 103] ).
