Standard AML procedure. People used to launder money by writing bad checks and withdrawing cash immediately and now the bank is out money.
You need to let your money clear first (e.g. Not in pending status) before you move it around
No, the suspicion is you're using the Marcus account to launder money, and using the clean money to buy the bonds.

Later in the day I found out my treasury direct transfer was rejected. I tried to login to my Marcus to find out my account is locked. I’m so confused. Didn’t I just talk to these folks for about 30 mins verifying my identity? I call again and ask what’s going on they said my account is under investigation and they can’t tell me why they locked my account. Such BS. I’m just waiting for the 3 months to go by so I can take advantage of the referral bonus then I’m moving my money to Amex Savings. I should have checked the reviews before opening an account
My dad runs a community bank and I just asked him about this. It’s standard anti-money laundering practices.

Banks have rules and policies they have to follow. This is on you for not knowing what you wanted to do before you did it. No big deal, just a delay.

Sorry for the frustration it is causing you Op. But as everyone has pointed out you might have tripped some of the fraud policies when you did that. The only way here is to let it settle out. Also Marcus has been so good wrt transfers with me before so I won’t be able to corroborate what you are facing.

I appreciate. I’m just going to wait it out. I understand I might have triggered something but my frustration is why lock my account after verifying my funds with the bank I transferred the money from. That’s what people on here don’t get. They just keep saying I’m at fault without actually paying attention to what I said.
