Release window — requested disbursement
Requested release
Mon · 9:00 AM
Amount
$ 1,284,500.00
The amount is large. The team is under time pressure. Nothing about the request feels dramatic.
Incoming instruction — email of record
"Please disregard the prior payoff. Use the account ending 4471 for the seller proceeds. I'll confirm by phone tomorrow before 5."
The email alone is not the release record.
Destination change — recorded in file
Prior destination: account ending 8820. New destination: account ending 4471. That change is the trigger for pre-release file review.
