Don't know which bank this was but they don't sound too clever ! I'd be moving my account if i was the OP !

On the contrary, they seem pretty much on the ball. They've identified and stopped a money laundering scam.

Some gangsters paid £23k into your account and you didn't find time to go to an ATM ...?

Actually that is not quite correct. There is nothing wrong with a bank advising a customer that someone may have hijacked their account and be using it for fraud. 'Tipping off' refers to the reporting regime - and I not believe anyone has been convicted of that yet.

Correct. The offence of tipping off is committed when someone makes a "disclosure which is likely to prejudice any investigation". I can't see how providing information to the OP would prejudice any investigation.
