The client is absolutely furious.
Thanks for your help so far, I and Paul Morris are extremely appreciative to have such a responsive team working with us on this. You guys rock.
Please note that this is a high risk client and the KYC will need to be reviewed by AML Compliance; I've cc'd them so they are aware of the rush.
