I gotta say, I'd ask them to cut me a check and send it in the mail, with a tracking number.
There isn't any need for them to have your bank account information, in my opinion. People have been using paper checks for a long long time.
I'm beyond trusting people that hold my money and put hoops between me and my money.
I wonder if these people ever considered what will happen if they accidentally steal/hold the money that is being laundered by a mafia/gang smurfer. I'm not saying that you would be one of those people, buuut.... that's a genius idea... steal money from the black market users. =) I hope they have an updated will. =)
