    Looks like we will all have to return to posting cheques when sending large amounts of money.

    As I said earlier you are wasting your time going into the branch - they can't help you.

    Have you asked your uncle where the funds he sent came from and how the money came into his possession?

    International money laundering investigations are never going to be a quick process.

    It was a straightforward question which might well have given you a reason for claiming compensation from the bank for financial loss.
    If indeed the transaction meant you lost the house or incurred fees you cannot reclaim then why not put in a claim for compensation from the bank?

    Never mind good luck with getting your account unfrozen - I'm out.
