As a Citibank employee, Elliott should’ve followed the “know your client” policy meticulously.

As head of their Mexican branch, she has to attract wealthy clientele and maintain a positive business image to remain profitable and justify the branch’s existence. Elliot’s responsibility to her branch is to work with her team to seek out clients with a net worth of at least $5 million and at least $1 million in liquid assets to invest with the bank.
