stolen, put it into that house. but they added their own touches and decoration to it. it isn t how steve and michelle chambers spend the money that tips off police, but the unorthodox way michelle attempts to deposit the cash. she watches tv. she watches movies. and she thinks you come in with briefcase full of cash. nobody does that. so she comes in and she asks the bank teller, how much can i deposit before i have to fill out one of those government forms? she didn t know what it was. it s called a suspicious activity report. that alone was enough for the bank to go, something s odd about this transaction. they filled out the suspicious activity report and the fbi gets that a short time later. michelle makes another mistake that will provide irrefutable evidence. we re already following michelle. we know every bank that she goes to. she s almost on a routine now. she s hitting these banks on a very specific day. and we happen to be at the branch at the time that michelle was
